tem - Tech Lead

• Set the architecture direction that takes payments from a functional service to one built for growth. • Define how the squad works, including the balance between speed, quality and resilience that payments demands. • Lift the quality and speed bar for the whole squad, senior and junior engineers alike. • Drive the technical blockers to delivery to resolution, so the squad's work reaches the people who depend on it. • Make payment accuracy and processing efficiency the levers that bring cost-to-process down. • You'll report into the Service Manager for Saldo. • Own the outcome: Take responsibility for the squad's delivery and the standards it works to, so the team ships work we're proud of. • Lead from the front line: Write specs and design docs, give feedback on ADRs, review pull requests, and solve problems directly through code or workflows. • Set the payments architecture direction: Turn a genuinely ambiguous area into a clear technical strategy, without waiting for someone else to define the problem. • Cut the cost to process: Own payment accuracy and processing efficiency as the direct levers on cost-to-process. • Design how the squad works: Define the squad's operating model and set the pace, rather than waiting for a playbook. • Own the big picture: Manage sequencing and dependencies, diagnose why throughput isn't improving, and make sure the squad's work is visible to stakeholders. • Build a high-performance team: Coach junior engineers while working the hardest problems alongside our senior engineer, and define what good looks like by working the details with the team. • Partner on people decisions: Flag promotion and hiring gaps to your manager, who keeps line management and performance conversations. Decisions on people are made jointly.
