A well-established group is expanding its in-house engineering capability and is seeking a Technical Lead to lead a small, growing team. This is a hands-on position. You will be actively involved in the codebase rather than overseeing from a distance. Expect approximately 60% development and 40% leadership responsibilities, with a gradual shift towards more leadership as the team grows.
