Job purpose
The technical development lead will guide the continuous development of Vitsœ’s technology in a collaborative, effective and Agile manner leading a multidisciplinary technology team.
High-quality software will be delivered using best-of-breed frameworks, such as Laravel, and components to support the requirements of a growing business.
Key areas of responsibility
* collaborating openly and autonomously within a non-siloed, organic business structure

* implementing and working within service-oriented architectures and associated principles and standards, eg SOLID
* good understanding of test approaches (eg unit versus integration)
* a pragmatist who can achieve a balance between the creative approach of a developer and the needs of the business
The person will be
* careful, organised and diligent – even meticulous – with a good dose of common sense

* effective – but also efficient – in both the physical and digital realms
* modestly confident, good-humoured and trustworthy
