As Tech Lead you will be leading one of these teams and empower them to deliver high-quality, secure and performant solutions for the business we’re building. Together with the Product Owner you will evaluate initiatives and drive roadmap discussions. You’ll design and estimate technical solutions for the presented challenges together with your team.
