What will you be doing?
As our Development Lead, you are the linchpin between technology, the team, and management.

Your focus rests on three main pillars: Leadership & Management, Technical Excellence, and Operational Control.
Your key responsibilities:
-
Coaching & Mentoring: You conduct weekly 1-on-1 meetings with your direct reports. You coach team members on their daily tasks and serve as a mentor for their professional and personal development.
-
Team Performance: You lead operational team meetings and are responsible for the team's efficiency and effectiveness. You manage the workload and resource planning.
-
AI-First Mindset: You are active in developing with AI assistants, Agents, and Skills. You are enthusiastic about the transformation toward AI-driven development and are capable of leading your team through this transition.
-
HR & Resource Planning: You conduct performance reviews, handle HR matters (such as leave and absence), and collaborate with People Ops on HR-related issues within your team.
-
Technical Alignment: You ensure alignment between different teams and oversee that everyone adheres to established compliance and security guidelines.
-
Product Development: You work closely with Product Managers to refine PRDs (Product Requirements Documents), devise technical solutions, and translate these into concrete development tasks.
-
Quality & Workflow: You identify and communicate improvements in the workflow. Additionally, you prepare technical refinements for key issues (e.g., through POCs or documentation).
