Tech Lead (Spend Analytics)

We are looking for a Tech Lead to lead our Spend Analytics Team! Our Spend Analytics Team is working with a big amount of invoice and accounting data and presenting it to our customers in an intuitive way so we help them control their spend, be efficient in creating good tenders and in the end be more cost effective.

Who are you?
You are passionate about building great software, have a growth mindset, and last but not least you realise that you can’t do it all on your own and are capable of motivating and growing your team members. Furthermore, you are aware that efficiently testing, deploying and packaging the deliverables is a prerequisite for moving fast.

What are the challenges?
We are solving interesting and complex technical problems! We have built an application that allows customers to do ad-hoc queries and visually see representations of their own enriched data, customers are using this flexibility for things we could not have imagined. But we are far from done, we have many ideas to give our customers additional value. Many of these ideas require big technical changes involving especially elasticsearch and implementing custom algorithms to make sense of semi-structured data.

We are currently on a journey to increase test coverage, containerize deployment and automate onboarding of new customers because we know just as well as you that you and your future team's time is better spent on adding new value than fixing bugs and doing routine setup tasks.

You will be the technical leader of the currently 8 person team working closely with an experienced Product Manager, we believe that teams should be able to move forward on their own and create value without obstacles from the organisation so you will have a lot of freedom.

You will be reporting to Jakob Tikjøb Andersen, Director of Platform Engineering & Architecture as the spend analytics system is bridging two of our business areas.

Tasks and Responsibilities

- Lead the technical team and make sure team members grow technically and personally.
- Work with Product Manager on driving the product forward and adding value for our customers.
- Write awesome C# code and tests.

Requirements
We imagine that you are already working in a tech/team lead role and are hands-on as a senior developer with experience from software engineering in both small and big companies. You are curious about new technology and exploring how it can solve the needs of the business with greater speed or quality. Furthermore you have experience with C# and Elasticsearch or similar technology.

No matter your technical background it is equally important that you have good leadership skills as it is up to you to lead the technical team and ensure that team members are continuously improving.
