Senior Tech Lead Wanted!
We Love is looking for a super talented Senior Tech Lead to join the family (Perm). To help grow the team’s technical and industry skills and take We Love to the next level.
You have been working in the industry for at least 7 years. Defining and shaping teams and projects. Making magic happen for top tier clients at top agencies. You know the pressures and complexities of the job and of a client’s needs. You know how to stay on top of it all – managing expectations and communicating them at every turn.
You will be working across a multitude of top tier clients and projects ranging from Apps to dotCOM to Campaign. You have a love of all things digital – see the beauty, reason, logic and commercial behind yours and others work. Someone who brings ideas to the table, and the processes to make them happen. You can see opportunity to improve and have a desire to do so. You want to develop the team and raise their game… You have a natural hunger for success and the desire to help develop the creative output across the company as a whole. You may be looking for the next step up in an agency that is going places.
This role is not all about management. You can handle a development from start to finish on your own or in a small team environment. You care about the Go Live and make sure that every pixel is perfect, every animation is thought through, every link is tested, so that at the end of the day you can leave the office proud of a job well done, knowing the code is as good as it possibly can be.
You understand commercial considerations, offering good insight into company development, while at the same time seeing technical solutions that can benefit the smallest of projects. You are visionary.
Technical Skills:
Front and backend superstar… with all the usual languages / skills. Obviously, you will have leanings… but show us what you got. We adapt to the right people.
Stuff we use…
AS3 // Flash // HTML & XHTML // Javascript and JQuery // CSS3 // ASP.net // PHP // Python // Ruby (on Rails)
Be able to define and improve processes, as well as technical development, with the knowledge to document this. You are capable of QA your own work as well as your teams – always improving, always aware – and able to pass that learning on to others.
People skills:
You will be client facing, managing a team and responsible for inter-team communication. So being able to communicate – up, down and sideways – being able to listen, and know what to say and when, is an absolute necessity. You will be able to manage yours and your team’s time whilst ensuring a project’s plan, risks and status are fluidly communicated – keeping PM’s happy and the client even happier.
Stress? What stress? You’ve seen and done so much within this industry that nothing is going to surprise you.
And as always… a sense of humour is mandatory.
