Job description and responsibilities

Within a cross-functional Agile team, as a Tech Lead / Senior Java Engineer, you will be the technical backbone of the team — guiding architectural decisions, ensuring code quality, and mentoring your fellow developers. You will bridge the gap between product vision and technical execution, while remaining a hands-on contributor.

As part of your missions, you will:

•Define and drive the technical strategy of the team, proposing improvements and aligning on architectural directions.

•Prioritize technical tasks and balance new feature development with technical debt reduction.

•Guarantee the team’s technical delivery in close coordination with the Product Owner.

•Conduct and animate code reviews, pair programming sessions, and technical stand-ups.

•Resolve complex technical problems and support the team during incident resolution.

•Ensure code quality through reviews, best practices, and automated quality gates.

•Monitor quality and performance metrics across environments, including production.

•Collaborate with the Product Owner to clarify the technical requirements of user stories.

•Coordinate with other technical teams to manage cross-team dependencies.

•Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, code analysis tools, and development environments.

•Document code, APIs, and significant architectural decisions.

•Lead continuous improvement initiatives: retrospectives, process enhancements, tooling.

•Mentor software developers and support their technical growth.

•Contribute to technical visibility through meetups, internal knowledge-sharing sessions, or open source.

•Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis).

•Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and facilitating technical ceremonies.

•Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to make fast, informed decisions.
