We are hiring for Tech Leads across several teams, so the team's area of focus will differ. We also tend to review focus areas at least once a year, so this will change throughout your career at Dayshape. As examples, the focus areas could span a new module for the product, several more focused features, or continuing a significant migration in our UI.
As a Tech Lead, you will work collaboratively with the rest of our cross-functional team to plan and deliver new features and enhancements. You will take ownership of features and technical initiatives and make sure they are successful.
That's where you come in.
What You'll Do
Our tech leads are great with people, helping to elevate their team and the work they do, as well as being able to get stuck in technically. This role is a mix of technical and people leadership, leading a product engineering team that will operate in a particular area of the product.
The time split between technical planning and delivery, and line-management will depend on the size of your team. Initially, as we build up the teams, you will be more hands on, adjusting the split as the size of the team increases. Some of the teams will naturally be smaller than others due to the nature of the work, so please highlight to us in your application or during the interview process if you have a preference for remaining more-hands on, or if you are happy to adjust your style to the size of the team.
In this role you will:
- Manage a software engineering team, line managing 2-6 software engineers, including 1:1s and supporting personal development planning.
