About the Tech Lead role

A Tech Lead at IST is a team-based role, working part time as a developer, but also having extended responsibilities regarding system/software architecture and authority regarding technical decisions in your team.

A Tech Lead works closely with our architects and other team’s Tech Leads on technical matters ranging from regular product development to softer issues like defining and maintaining technical strategies and guidelines. Typical product development tasks for a Tech Lead could be maintaining a healthy micro service eco-system and system architecture as features are added, identifying, and managing the team’s technical debt and prioritizing technical work together with the team’s Product Owner.

About the Senior Developer role

You will join a 100 people strong development department and one of our cross functional development teams consisting of developers, testers, a tech lead and a product owner, focusing on either platform or product teams.

We believe in self organizing teams which will give you both freedom, responsibility and involvement while developing you team’s systems - making work technically challenging and fun for all!

We strive for a truly innovative culture and have multiple activities or methods to boost innovation. We are using modern technologies such as Docker, Rancher/Kubernetes, Vue.js, Octopus Deploy and are constantly evaluating our next improvements!

About you

To be the right person for this job, you have several years of experience as a developer in both backend and frontend. You are keen on new technologies and work in a structured manner. You will cooperate with a lot of people outside of your team and are therefore a good communicator.

Besides being tech savvy, you understand that aspects of development such as readable and testable code, an ease of operation, and an outstanding UX (including performance considerations), are highly important success factors for any software.

- Solution architecture

- Java
