Join us and be part of a company that’s shaping the future of work, Make Hybrid Work together with Dstny.
As a Tech Lead, you will provide clear technical leadership to a development team, remaining hands-on in software delivery while driving high standards of quality, sustainability, and security aligned with Dstny’s engineering standards.
You will set technical direction, guide design and implementation decisions, and enable engineers to deliver reliably and independently. You will work closely with Engineering Management, Architects, PMs/POs, and adjacent technical leaders. You will translate business goals into executable technical plans, shape architectural outcomes, and surface risks early. You will balance short-term delivery with long-term technical health, making pragmatic trade-offs where required.
This is a hands-on leadership role grounded in day-to-day delivery. While you will contribute directly where it adds value, your primary responsibility is to raise the technical capability and decision quality of the team, set a strong example for engineering excellence, and champion improvements that raise the bar across the wider engineering organisation, including the effective use of automation and AI-assisted tooling.
The role does not carry formal people-management responsibility and instead relies on technical credibility, clear communication, and sound judgement to guide outcomes.
What we expect from you...

Coach and mentor engineers in the team to raise technical capability and autonomy.
Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and pragmatic decision making in the team.
