We have a busy time ahead of us, and we’re looking for several people to join us as we take on these new challenges. One of the roles we’re looking for is an experienced Tech Lead to join our HQ in Växjö.

About the role

A Tech Lead at IST Products is a team-based role, working part time as a developer, but also having extended responsibilities regarding system/software architecture and authority regarding technical decisions in your team.

A Tech Lead works closely with our architects and other team’s Tech Leads on technical matters ranging from regular product development to softer issues like defining and maintaining technical strategies and guidelines. Typical product development tasks for a Tech Lead could be maintaining a healthy micro service eco-system and system architecture as features are added, identifying, and managing the team’s technical debt and prioritizing technical work together with the team’s Product Owner.

We are now looking for one full-stack Tech Lead for our childcare team.

The team has its base in developing features connected to the administration of childcare. This includes handling applications, queue handling and admissions. On top of this is an application used by parents and childcare staff where the users can work with childcare attendance and food planning.

About you

To be the right person for this job, you have several years of experience as a developer in both backend and frontend. You are keen on new technologies and work in a structured manner. You will cooperate with a lot of people outside of your team and are therefore a good communicator.

Besides being tech savvy, you understand that aspects of development such as readable and testable code, an ease of operation, and an outstanding UX (including performance considerations), are highly important success factors for any software.

The following skills and experience are required or highly valuable:

Solution architecture

Java 8+, Spring

JavaScript, VUE, node.js

HTML5, CSS

Docker, Rancher, Kubernetes

SQL, NoSQL
