As a Tech Lead at Berlin Bytes, your mission is to be the driving force behind the entire software development lifecycle. From understanding business needs and technical requirements to bringing solutions into production, you'll be at the helm, ensuring success at every turn. Here's what you'll be doing:
- User-Centric Solutions: Build user-centric software solutions for real-world use cases, such as QA traceability, B2B commerce, financial services, and home energy management, spanning a wide range of industries.
- Software Development: Collaborate with a cross-functional team to brainstorm innovative solutions, design system architectures, and implement software effectively.
- Leadership: Set up projects' development teams, provide leadership and guidance, ensuring that projects are on track, milestones are met, and team members are motivated and productive.
- Ownership of Quality: Take ownership of code quality and documentation in the main codebase, ensuring high standards are met.
- Technology Exploration: Continuously learn about new concepts and technologies and apply them to address our clients' challenges effectively.
- Team Collaboration: Foster a collaborative team spirit, share knowledge, and actively participate in discussions, contributing to the growth of the team and the company.
- Mentorship: Act as a mentor to team members, guiding them in their professional development and helping them achieve their career goals.
- Process Improvement: Identify and act on opportunities to enhance team collaboration and company processes.
