As a Tech Lead, you will have overall responsibility for our codebase and will act as its guardian, ensuring it is kept clean, simple, has high test coverage and does not break on prod (most of the time). You will also be performing code reviews, mentoring & providing guidance to other developers and working on our most challenging problems.
We pride ourselves on having very high test coverage and rarely having any prod issues. Our backend follows a microservices architecture, consisting of multiple small services—primarily built with Ruby—that collectively power the user experience.
This role may have on-call responsibilities.

REQUIREMENTS

• Prior team or technical lead experience - managing engineers/projects and taking responsibility for the team’s software design and delivery

• Outstanding communication and collaboration skills (both written and verbal)
• Strong attention to detail and a keen eye for code quality
• Excellent Ruby skills and a good understanding of React

  Don’t ‘tick all of the boxes? Neither do we. We are driven by hiring not only by experience and relevance for the role but also by ambition. We celebrate anything ‘outside of the box’, so if you don’t meet all of the listed tickbox criteria, please do still apply as we’d love to hear from you.
