Team Lead, Engineering at Deel

• As an Engineering Team Lead at Deel, you will be responsible for leading a small cross-functional team (6-10 professionals) to meet organizational goals. Roughly 20% of your role will be management/leadership responsibilities, and 80% of the responsibilities will require you to flex your technical skills in application design and web development.
• We develop at scale, we innovate rapidly and we put our customers first - Despite our company size, Deel very much operates like a start-up, so the ability to wear different hats and juggle multiple competing priorities is crucial.

• Craft web applications that embody accessibility and TDD best-practices.
• Collaborate closely with design and product teams to create extraordinary product experiences.
• Deliver clean, efficient code in an agile team environment.
• Push boundaries through rapid prototyping and iterative development, always driving innovation.
• Possess a passion for technology and developing cutting-edge, scalable, and robust software systems.
• Design and architect software for distributed systems with high-performance, scalability, and availability demands.
• Mentor and provide technical leadership to your team.
• Conduct code reviews to drive the team to excellence in Node.js.
• Explore new avenues for innovation through rapid prototyping and iterative development.

What you’ll bring to the Team Lead role:

• Expertise in JavaScript technologies for application design, development and testing (Our team use Node.js on the backend and React.js on the frontend)
• Good knowledge of TypeScript and developing applications on top of RESTful API’s.
• Leading small teams whilst being hands-on comes with ease
• You have handled at least a couple of performance review cycles.
• You have hired and grown a team.
• You have a true passion for developing user experiences that are nothing short of amazing.
• You're hungry to learn, experiment and share knowledge with others, driving innovation every step of the way.
• You've navigated the real world of cross-browser, cross-platform and design constraints on the web like a pro.
• Automated unit, functional, and integration tests are your bread and butter - you develop and execute them in your sleep.
