Java Backend Tech Lead

For a client, I'm on the lookout for a Java Back-end Tech Lead who enjoys combining technical leadership with hands-on software development. This is a role for someone who likes to stay close to the code while helping shape technical direction together with other experienced Tech Leads and senior engineers. The engineering culture is highly collaborative, and you'll be working alongside strong technical peers rather than leading from a distance.
