Tech Lead

We are seeking an experienced software developer to play a lead role in the development of the OpenSAFELY platform, and the fast-growing engineering team. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys technical leadership and running small teams, but also wishes to maintain an element of front-line, hands-on engineering.
In collaboration with the existing leadership team, you will provide line management, training, technical advice, mentorship and coaching to your colleagues. You will co-own the architectural direction of the platform, and provide guidance to build the best possible products.
We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate management skills, excellent coding skills and practical knowledge of a wide variety of collaboration tools and software delivery techniques. They should show strong user empathy and enjoy helping others to be productive.
