In this role, you will step into the Tech Lead position within our Account Team, which operates out of Berlin. We follow a hybrid work model, requiring a minimum of three days in the office per week. As Tech Lead, your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining high-quality, scalable software for our core product offerings, and representing the engineering perspective during the upstream product discovery process as a key member of our empowered product team. Our team adheres to Cagan's "trio" approach and the principles of Torres' Continuous Discovery Habits. In this model, you, as the Tech Lead, will collaborate closely with the Product Manager and Designer to explore innovative product ideas and validate customer value early on. Discovery and delivery occur concurrently and continuously, influencing each other through iterative feedback loops, steering clear of large handovers and waterfall models. Thus, your role involves substantial collaboration with the trio and the other engineers on the team, playing a vital role in both discovery and delivery. We seek a highly motivated, dedicated individual eager to face new challenges and significantly contribute to our company's ongoing success. Strong communication and leadership skills, coupled with a genuine interest in mentoring and coaching junior team members, are crucial for success in this role. A strong passion for the discovery process as well as crafting and delivering high standard software is essential. **The Team** In the Account Team, we manage key areas of Templafy including Authentication, User, and Tenant management. Our self-contained systems accommodate millions of daily users, with these areas being utilized both directly by users and indirectly through subsystems. We are an ambitious team, setting high standards for both customer value delivery and code quality. Through various design and test strategies, we confidently release updates to production multiple times a day. Each team benefits from a dedicated Engineering Manager with an engineering background, thereby ensuring both your personal and professional growth. **Key Responsibilities** - Actively participate in the product discovery process as a member of the product trio, collaborating with the Product Manager and Designer to identify and validate innovative product ideas. - Develop and maintain high-quality software solutions using appropriate methods. - Contribute to the ongoing enhancement of our software architecture and development processes and practices. This is undertaken in conjunction with other teams, as all systems operate on the same tech stack and patterns, ensuring operational consistency where feasible. - Mentor and coach fellow Engineers both technically—e.g., through code reviews and design sessions—and in the capacity of an Empowered Engineer, focusing on outcomes over output. - Embrace a "you build it, you run it" culture, meaning you'll be on 2nd line support when needed. However, due to our robust engineering principles and practices, the need for such support is rare. **How We Work** - **Teams**: Our cross-functional, self-organized teams comprise 5-9 engineers, a Product Manager, and a Designer. They continually strive for improvement, embracing flow optimization principles with management paving the road favoring roundabouts over traffic lights. Full ownership of features is assigned to teams, from discovery to development and deployment, to ensure short feedback cycles and minimize handovers. Our teams demonstrate progress bi-weekly to maintain transparency and collaboration. - **Dual-Track Agile**: Our teams follow a dual-track agile approach.
