Job Description

Role Profile: Tech Lead

Level: Senior

Reporting to: Chief of Marketplace

Location: Bryanston (in-office; hybrid after probation) About

Leadership here means setting the standard. You are expected to stay close to the codebase, review pull requests, and lead by example.

Role Overview

This is a hands-on technical leadership role within a large-scale marketplace platform. You'll be the most senior technical voice in the room—setting technical direction, reviewing code, unblocking engineers, and making pragmatic decisions that keep delivery moving.

A central focus of this role is platform modernisation . The core marketplace runs on a production Java monolith with JSP-based frontends. You will own the strategy and execution for migrating to a modern, component-driven frontend while ensuring platform stability and continuous delivery. You won't just define the roadmap—you'll actively write and ship code alongside the team.
