Remote, United Kingdom CobbleWeb Full time

**WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?**

Your hands-on approach ensures the team uses appropriate software development practices (e.g. automated testing), makes continuous improvements to minimise technical debt, and adapts in an agile manner to the business goals and challenges of each project.

In short, we are looking for a big-picture thinker who is always looking for the best way to execute a project or task. Someone who has the proven ability to plan, design, lead, and execute technical solutions and improvements that deliver superior outcomes.

**AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY**:
Our Tech Lead will be involved in the following aspects of each project:
**Team management**:

- Manage the productive utilisation of team assets by allocating work among developers according to their skills, experience and workload.
- Manage the orderly running of sprints by prioritising tasks and using sprint kickoff to explain how the order of tasks fits into the sprint strategy.
- Ensure all tickets are estimated accurately by organising and leading ticket estimation sessions.
- Ensure technical challenges are analysed, addressed and documented before development commences.
- Drive good time management (predictability) by ensuring developers provide realistic sprint delivery dates.
- Avoid misunderstandings and promote teamwork by promoting healthy communication flow within the team.

**Technical leadership**:

- Support purpose-driven development by designing (together with the management team) solutions that are aligned with each project’s business model and user flows. This includes active involvement in client demos, meetings and grooming documentation.
- Interrogate the specifications to ensure optimal outcomes. We don’t expect developers to just follow specifications blindly. At CobbleWeb, we believe that a collective approach produces best-in-class solutions that help our clients succeed.
- Organise the work by breaking down feature epics into stories and tasks.
- Help remove blockers. E.g. researching the suitability of new technology or clarifying acceptance criteria on a ticket.
- Establish clear reference points that can be accessed by the whole team by documenting the technical choices for new projects and features.
- Ensure high-performance, scalable and maintainable platforms by choosing the right technical architecture, data model and framework.

**Quality control**:

- Promote client satisfaction by ensuring sufficient and meaningful test coverage.
- Drive code quality through regular code reviews and automated testing.
- Reduce QA engineer workload by making sure tests are launched and passed before each deployment.

**Servant leadership**:

- Lead from the front by being a role model that follows CobbleWeb’s general expectations (ownership, quality assurance, speed).
- Help team members to grow and perform in their roles by coaching them in the use of technologies and processes. Always be available to help team members.
- Understand the value and timing of delegation.

**General developer duties**:

- Application of Object-Oriented Programming and Agile methodologies such as test-driven development, continuous integration and continuous delivery.
- Implementation of GIT (GitFlow), REST APIs, Docker for local and production environments, backend frameworks like Symfony, frontend frameworks like React, NextJS and Bootstrap, database management systems like MySQL, and test automation using Behat, Jenkins, Selenium or other testing frameworks.

**JOB REQUIREMENTS**:
**Education**:

- Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology or Computer Science or related Software Engineering Qualification.

**Experience**:

- At least 3 years in an Agile environment that utilised methodologies such as Behaviour Driven Development, Test Driven Development, Event Driven Architecture, continuous integration and continuous delivery.
- 5 years of experience managing a software development team.

**Recommended**:

- Exposure to e-commerce platform development, in particular, online marketplaces.

**Leadership Skills**:

- In-depth functional and technical understanding of software development and platform architectures.
- Strong oral and written communication skills.
- Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills.
- Finger on the pulse of up-and-coming software development trends.
- Strong influencing skills.
- Strong problem-solving abilities.
- Strong critical and analytical thinking skills.
- Ability to drive innovation.
- A data-driven approach that underpins the ability to identify risks, opportunities, trends, anomalies etc.
- Situationally aware - the ability to think ahead, anticipate challenges, and find solutions.
- Conflict resolution - must be able to facilitate discussions and find alternatives or different approaches to resolving challenges.
- Coordinator - building good professional relationships with cross-functional teams spread across different regions of the organisation.
- Mentorship - able to help team members
