Managing Lead Developer

The Techno Creatives is a creative tech house that uses technology in innovative ways to help companies progress toward their vision faster.

We generally work on small to medium-sized projects (max. 10 people). Some are external, like our various AI/ML plays, or platforms for automotive infotainment services, websites, AR, and a host of others. Some are internal, like our The Techno Creatives Originals series of projects with Elevate (our IoT platform).

We have grown into a large(-ish) development team and are now seeking a talented Managing Lead Developer to help our dev team flourish.

About the job

Ideally for us, you'd spend 4 days a week as a Lead Developer and 1 day a week explicitly helping out, mentoring, and managing a group of developers.

If you were here right now, you’d be a part of a team working on:

IoT backends, trailer rental web backends, cross-platform spell-checkers,

3D projection mapping helpers, trade shows, exhibits,

AI/ML Big Data real-time time-series predictions, etc.

Open AI / LLM based embeddings for documentation of a large code/docs-base and try to work out if the on/off-prem solutions are best.



But that’s right now. Half a year from now? Who knows what we'll be up to?

Apart from being a Managing Lead Developer, you’ll help improve teamwork through your awareness and coaching with your experience and know-how. Sometimes all a person needs is someone who’ll listen, relate, and have a simple back-and-forth with insights. Not a strict, rule-driven, process-heavy individual. That has its place, but on an individual level - it needs to be up close and personal.

Every project starts with a team working together to figure out WHAT the stakeholders need to achieve. With a Tech/Design Lead, a Strategist, or a Product Owner as the primary point of contact for the stakeholder. The team will define the scope, the tasks, the road map, when and what tasks need to be created, and in which order.

About you and the value you bring

You like being a developer and you think it's too early to give up on coding altogether. It's still too much fun. But you also know that your story does not end there. You believe you can be even more valuable by inspiring and mentoring others and just want more time to do this professionally.

As a Managing Lead Developer, you see yourself as a full-stack developer. You recognize that a good developer manager needs a strong technical background. Throughout your career you’ve noticed people are following you, asking you for advice, and listening to your guidance. You’ve found this inspiring and feel you want to continue exploring this side of yourself.

To us, leading and developing people is all about compassion. Caring for the people around you with the willingness to understand others and support them with what they need in order to reach their full potential and perform in the best way possible.

You’ve realized people become creative and great performers in an environment of trust, respect, openness, and transparent communication. You use this in your leadership.

You code, practically, and have delivered value to different stakeholders on budget and on time.

You have solved different problems using code at different companies with different people.

You have worked in small and big teams and can recognize what motivates different kinds of people.

You have learned about yourself and know why you want to spend more time inspiring and mentoring people.

You have learned that all innovation starts with a Yes.

About The Techno Creatives

We are a dynamic tech house that merges strategy, design, and technology to make things happen. Our primary goal is to bring positive change to our customer’s business. To create value. It can be by creating demos of some new technology, making something that’s never been made before, or redoing something from the ground up to get it where it needs to be. We're not just about software, not just about hardware, not just about experiences. We are about all of it and can coalesce all of it cohesively for our clients.

We as a company excel at green-field development, where we showcase and prove that something that hasn't been done before can be done and then we hand that over to our clients for their continued stewardship.

We firmly believe in the power of collaboration, which is why we bring our team together in our spacious studio, where familiar faces work side by side. Equipped and empowered with colleagues that work on the full tech stack from hardware, cloud, and software, we are able to create and design optimal solutions swiftly.
