About the Technical Lead Role:

As a Technical Lead at Nearform, you will be responsible for leading and guiding development teams while working directly with clients to translate business and technical requirements into impactful applications.

  • Provide updates to client and Nearform leadership to ensure clear understanding of project status and drive good decision-making.

What we are looking for in this person:


  • Significant experience in software engineering as either a Senior Engineer leading projects and mentoring or as a Technical Lead. For this particular role, you will ideally be using React. 

  • Experience working directly with clients or customers to understand technical requirements.

  • Experience leading software engineering teams through technical delivery and either direct line management or mentoring.

  • Deep understanding of agile ways of working, best practices and design patterns.

  • Deep understanding of test-driven development and testing best practices.

  • Deep understanding of version control tools, e.g. Git.

  • Understanding of DevOps practices and cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP)

  • Understanding of operational concerns (such as monitoring, performance testing, security considerations, accessibility, GDPR)

  • Empathy and people skills

Nice to have:


  • Experience with a headless CMS, ideally with Contentful.
