The opportunity:

Highly skilled Technical Lead who will operate between a Backend Developer & a solution architect with hands on experience on Node.js / Typescript / familiarity with AWS deployments. This role focuses on providing technical leadership to the development team, ensuring adherence to design patterns, best coding practices, and guiding developers throughout the software development lifecycle. Unlike a traditional Solutions Architect role, this position does not require infrastructure-level architecture work but requires strong technical depth, solution understanding, and the ability to translate business requirements into high-quality technical execution.

What you’ll be doing:

Technical Leadership & Guidance

Lead and mentor backend and full-stack developers in day-to-day technical activities.
Review code, enforce coding standards, and ensure adherence to design patterns (e.g., MVC, DDD, microservices best practices).
Provide hands-on support for complex technical challenges, debugging, and architectural decisions within the application layer.
Assist in breaking down complex requirements into clear, actionable development tasks.

Solution Design & Planning

Translate business requirements into technical specifications in collaboration with Product Owners and Business Analysts.
Design high-level application flows, data interactions, and integration approaches.
Identify and recommend suitable libraries, frameworks, and tools aligned with best practices.
Ensure that the technical design aligns with system longevity, scalability, and maintainability.

Team Coordination

Act as a bridge between developers, business analysts, and product teams.
Ensure technical consistency across modules developed by different team members.
Participate in sprint planning, refinement, and retrospectives to contribute technical insights.
Coordinate development timelines and help unblock developers by providing technical clarity.

Quality & Performance

Conduct peer reviews, provide constructive feedback, and ensure high-quality delivery.
Promote best practices for performance, security, and maintainability in the codebase.
Collaborate with QA teams to maintain robust testing strategies.
