Technical Lead

Due to ongoing public health concerns, Think Company continues to operate in the United States as a fully remote company. As such, please consider this a remote (work from home) position.

We are looking for a Technical Lead to join our team at Think Company.

At Think Company some Technical Lead roles are more code-focused, and some are more consulting-focused. It’s absolutely not expected that a Technical Lead is simultaneously the lead coder, the lead coordinator, and a lead consultant. The common denominator for a Technical Lead is trust. Regardless of their particular strengths and their role on a project, the Technical Lead is the one who earns and maintains the trust of the client through careful listening, consistent planning, and competent execution by the team.

Candidates should also be able to demonstrate prior experience with setting and ensuring compliance with coding standards, making browser and device support recommendations, solving application architecture challenges, advising on content management workflow and CMS configuration, analyzing and remediating page performance issues, and addressing accessibility issues. Candidates should have experience in accurately scoping projects, defining project requirements, translating business requirements into technical requirements, architecting the technical environment and hosting infrastructure, identifying milestones and managing a delivery team against those milestones.
