Technical Lead

Does leading a squad, shaping technical direction, and setting the standard for how AI shows up in engineering work inspire you?

Your Role

We're looking for our next Technical Lead to be based in Napier or work remotely from another city in New Zealand. As Technical Lead, you'll provide day-to-day technical leadership for your squad: designing, developing, and deploying complex software to the highest level of quality, while working closely with your Engineering Manager and Product Manager to make sure the squad's work is planned accurately, technical direction is clear, and delivery happens efficiently and safely. 

What you'll be owning

• Architect services and systems using well-accepted design patterns that allow for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling 

• Lead team-level implementation planning, working with AI to clarify intent, scope and patterns across initiatives, and make sure plans are reviewed before execution 

• Partner with your Engineering Manager and Product Manager so squad work is planned accurately, broken down clearly, and delivered efficiently 

• Anticipate and communicate blockers, delays and cost overruns before they need escalating, and take ownership of the decisions made within your squad, backing them and being accountable for their success  

• Write, generate and maintain high-quality code across complex, distributed systems 

• Lead code review practices within your squad and drive the standards for how the team uses AI, establishing the patterns, context and memory practices that make it genuinely effective 

• Drive monitoring and observability work based on our monitoring philosophy, using operational data to guide stability and performance improvements 

• Provide support diagnosing and resolving complex production issues, and make sure contingency plans (including possible misuse of a feature) are in place before an initiative reaches production 

• Mentor engineers in your squad, and others as needed, through code review, pairing and knowledge-sharing, and look for opportunities to build redundancy and depth within the team
