Team Lead Software Development

Job description

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Team Lead to guide a group of talented software engineers in delivering scalable, high-quality integrations, adaptive applications, and tooling. This is a hybrid role that combines technical contribution with day-to-day leadership, making it ideal for a senior engineer ready to grow into engineering management, or an existing TL looking for broader impact.

You’ll be the key connector between engineering execution and team organization — leading sprint planning, code reviews, mentoring sessions, and helping shape the technical roadmap alongside Engineering Managers and Architects.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and coordinate a cross-functional development team.

• Contribute directly to feature development and complex technical problem-solving.

• Run sprint planning, backlog grooming, and daily standups.

• Mentor junior and intermediate developers through code reviews, coaching, and pair programming.

• Collaborate with QA, DevOps, and Product on release planning and delivery health.

• Identify and reduce technical debt and promote clean coding practices.

• Represent the team in technical syncs and communicate progress, risks, and needs.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in software development (Python/JavaScript stack preferred).

• 1+ year of experience in a technical leadership role (formal or informal).

• Strong understanding of agile development practices and team workflows.

• Solid experience with Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and working with QA and DevOps.

• Excellent communication skills and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset.

Bonus Points For

• Experience building and maintaining microservices architectures.

• Prior involvement in mentorship programs or team culture initiatives.

• Knowledge of the DNS/DHCP space or network-related application domains.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
