About the position
The job overview for this role is to join Templafy as a Tech Lead within the Account Team in Berlin. As a Tech Lead, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining high-quality software for the core product offerings, while also representing the engineering perspective during the product discovery process. Collaboration with the Product Manager and Designer is essential to explore innovative product ideas and validate customer value. Strong communication and leadership skills, as well as a passion for mentoring and coaching, are crucial for success in this role.
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.
