We're hiring a Technical Lead to guide the end-to-end engineering delivery of a cloud-based digital platform. If you love full-stack development, leading small engineering teams, and building secure, scalable systems, this role is for you.

You'll translate architecture into working designs, lead developers, enforce engineering standards, coordinate security readiness, and ensure the platform is deployment-ready. This is a high-impact role ideal for someone with strong React and Node.js expertise, cloud architecture knowledge, and a commitment to security-first development.

This is a fixed-term contract role, 1 year engagement.
