About the Role
We are looking for a strong Tech Lead who can lead a development team while remaining hands-on with technology.
The role will be responsible for the engineering and technology delivery of the Investor Portal and a portfolio of internal digital automations across various business functions.
We are looking for someone who is equally comfortable leading people, solving complex technical problems, writing production-grade code, improving engineering productivity using AI, and taking ownership of application security and stability.
The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on experience in Angular and Python, along with a good understanding of APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, security, CI/CD and modern software engineering practices.
Key Responsibilities
1. Engineering Leadership
<ul>
<li>Lead and mentor the development team responsible for the Investor Portal and internal automation initiatives.</li>
<li>Own the technical delivery of multiple applications and initiatives from design through production.</li>
<li>Break business requirements into scalable technical solutions and actionable development tasks.</li>
<li>Conduct code reviews and establish high standards for code quality, maintainability and performance.</li>
<li>Build a culture of engineering ownership, accountability and continuous improvement.</li>
<li>Coach developers and help them grow technically.</li>

<li>Design and develop scalable frontend applications using Angular.</li>
<li>Build robust backend services, APIs and automation solutions using Python.</li>
<li>Work with REST APIs, authentication mechanisms, databases and third-party integrations.</li>
<li>Troubleshoot complex production issues and provide root cause analysis.</li>
<li>Review and improve application architecture, performance and scalability.</li>
</ul>
We are specifically looking for someone who does not stop coding after becoming a lead and can jump into the codebase when required.

<li>Security reviews for new applications and integrations</li>
<li>Working with Information Security teams during audits and assessments</li>
</ul>
The candidate should be able to understand security issues at a technical level and work with developers to fix them rather than treating security as only a compliance activity.
6. Architecture &amp; Engineering Standards
<ul>
<li>Define and maintain application architecture standards.</li>
<li>Drive reusable components, APIs and common frameworks.</li>
<li>Establish coding, testing, documentation and deployment standards.</li>
