We are looking for a Technical Lead to join our team at Think Company.
At Think Company some Technical Lead roles are more code-focused, and some are more consulting-focused. It’s absolutely not expected that a Technical Lead is simultaneously the lead coder, the lead coordinator, and a lead consultant. The common denominator for a Technical Lead is trust. Regardless of their particular strengths and their role on a project, the Technical Lead is the one who earns and maintains the trust of the client through careful listening, consistent planning, and competent execution by the team.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate prior experience consulting on technical projects, including activities such as performing technical discovery engagements, scoping and defining projects, translating business requirements into technical requirements, or identifying milestones and managing a delivery team to meet them. Candidates should also be familiar with the tools of the trade, able to take on technical activities such as making browser and device support recommendations, consulting on application architecture challenges, addressing accessibility, advising on content management workflows and CMS configuration, setting and ensuring compliance with coding standards, or analyzing page performance issues.
