About the company
A well-established technology company specializing in software solutions for the Finance and Banking sector. The team works on large-scale enterprise projects both domestically and internationally, operating in a professional and dynamic environment with a focus on modern technology platforms.
The role
We are seeking an experienced Java Technical Lead to join our backend engineering team.

As the technical lead, you will delegate and track tasks across the team, oversee deployments and new releases, identify risks and define mitigation strategies, and proactively resolve technical issues by developing workarounds and alternative solutions. You will also be responsible for coaching and motivating team members, conducting technical training, and continuously improving product features and quality.
This is a hands-on leadership role suited for a senior engineer who is equally comfortable writing code and driving architectural decisions. You will play a key part in shaping system infrastructure, integration approaches, and engineering best practices across projects in the Finance and Banking domain.
