Tech Lead - IST Products

The Edtech sector is hotter than ever and our offer to the market is on fire. So, in order to keep up with the demand for our products we're currently looking for a full-stack Tech Lead to join a team developing our cutting-edge mobile- and web apps.

About us

More than 5 million users. 400 co-workers and 9 offices. From Boden in northern Sweden to Schmalkalden in central Germany. We are the leading EdTech company in Scandinavia!

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 believe in self organizing teams which will give you both freedom, responsibility and involvement while developing you team’s services - making work technically challenging and fun for all.

You will join a team developing our cutting-edge mobile- and web apps and the backend solutions supporting them. As a tech lead, you will be involved in the entire stack.

We prefer to see that you are located in our Linköping office, but for the right person there is the possibility of placement in our other offices.

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.

We think you’re into both app, web and backend development since you will be involved in the full stack. It includes JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Docker and more. Knowledge and experience of some of these technologies are highly valuable.

You enjoy working in a team - as a team - and like us, you really believe in the agile methodologies and processes. As a person you show great responsibility, tend to make things happen and welcome change. We expect you to enjoy being part of an agile and healthy changing environment.

Our solutions are aimed at the end user - every parent with a child in school and every child that goes to school. So, if you are looking for a fun and educational challenge but also would like to make a difference to society, you will match our team perfectly.
