Proqram mühəndisliyi funksional sahəsi Tech Lead

Ümumi məlumat

We're looking for a Technical Lead to own the technical direction of the Login squad — a small, cross functional team responsible for a security-sensitive part of the platform (auth gateway, SSO, identity). You'll be the squad's engineering owner: accountable for architecture decisions, technical feasibility calls, and the quality gate before code reaches production, while managing and growing a team of backend and mobile engineers.

Öhdəliklər

Technical ownership — own architecture-significant decisions for the squad (ADR authoring, feasibility assessment, rollback planning) and escalate to the Architecture Committee (ACE/IAC/GAC) when needed.;

Delivery gatekeeping — Responsible for technical feasibility sign-off at PDLC gates; Accountable for testing execution and master-branch code review before release;

People management — direct line management of a ~6-person squad: backend (Java/Spring Boot), iOS, Android, QA, and IT Business Analyst; hiring, mentoring, performance and growth planning;

Security-first mindset — the squad owns auth/authorization surfaces; proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities (e.g., improper authorization, token handling), and coordinate with AppSec/InfoSec on pen test and sign-off cycles;

Cross-functional coordination — work daily with the Product Owner (delivery partner, not a direct report), Tribe Tech Lead, Chapter Leads, QA, and Agile Coach across the full PDLC (Ideation → Discovery → Development → Deployment → Post-Analysis);

Hands-on when needed — stay technically credible: review code, unblock the team on hard problems, contribute to design of complex flows;

Process ownership — enforce Definition of Ready/Done at technical gates, drive sprint ceremonies (planning, grooming, demo, retro) from the engineering side;

Team You'll Lead A cross-platform squad: Senior + Junior Backend Engineers, iOS Engineer, Android Engineer, QA Engineer, IT Business Analyst — plus close daily partnership with a Product Owner.
