The Team Lead is responsible for driving end-to-end delivery of software projects within the development team. This role owns sprint execution, removes blockers, ensures quality standards are met, and acts as the bridge between engineering execution and business stakeholders. The Team Lead manages a team of 3–6 developers, balancing hands-on technical involvement with delivery accountability to ensure projects ship on time, within scope, and at production-grade quality.
Responsibilities
Delivery & Execution (Primary Focus)
- Owns sprint planning, backlog grooming, and delivery cadence for the team — ensuring commitments are met, and scope is managed proactively.
- Drives project execution from requirements through to production deployment, coordinating across dependent teams when necessary.
- Monitors delivery KPIs (velocity, cycle time, defect escape rate, deployment frequency) and takes corrective action when metrics deviate.
- Manages risks, dependencies, and blockers — escalating early with proposed solutions rather than surfacing problems alone.
- Ensures release readiness, including regression coverage, rollback plans, and stakeholder sign-off.
- Coordinates with QA, DevOps, and product teams to maintain smooth CI/CD pipeline flow and minimize release friction.
Technical Leadership
- Participates in solution design discussions and ensures the team's technical decisions align with architectural standards and development protocols (including PCI DSS compliance, coding guidelines, and code management best practices).
- Conducts and enforces code reviews following the secured code review guidelines; ensures the team adheres to defined coding standards and CI/CD pipeline requirements (code scan, secret key scan, web scan).
- Makes pragmatic technical trade-off decisions — balancing delivery speed with code quality and technical debt management.
- Troubleshoots and leads the resolution of production incidents within the team's domain, ensuring root cause analysis and lessons learned are documented.
- Stays current with the team's technology stack and contributes hands-on when critical path items require it.
People & Team Management
- Manages a team of 3–6 developers: task assignment, workload balancing, and day-to-day performance management.
- Conducts regular 1-on-1s focused on growth, blockers, and career development.
- Mentors junior and mid-level developers through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
- Identifies skill gaps and coordinates with management on training plans or hiring needs.
- Fosters a team culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Stakeholder Communication
- Provides clear, regular delivery status updates to senior management and product stakeholders.
- Translates business requirements into actionable technical tasks and acceptance criteria for the team.
- Collaborates with Solutions Architects and other Team Leads to ensure cross-team alignment on standards, shared services, and integration points.
Requirements
Technical / Professional Skills & Competencies
Required
- Proficient in .NET and/or Java with hands-on production experience; able to review code, debug issues, and contribute to critical deliverables.
- Solid experience with relational databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) — able to review query performance, data models, and troubleshoot production data issues.
- Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent) — understands pipeline stages including code scan, secret scan, and deployment automation.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and basic infrastructure concepts.
- Understanding of microservices architecture, API design (REST/gRPC), and event-driven patterns (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS).
- Familiarity with NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB) and when to apply them.
- Experience with observability tools — logging, monitoring, tracing (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch).
- Understanding of security best practices, including OWASP Top 10, authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth2, JWT), and PCI DSS application-level requirements.
- Strong knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies — able to run ceremonies, manage sprints, and drive continuous delivery cadence.
- Proven ability to estimate, plan, and deliver work with a track record of shipping projects on time.
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills with experience resolving production issues under pressure.
Preferred (Nice-to-Have)
- Experience with system design for high availability, fault tolerance, and horizontal scalability.
- Exposure to event-driven / CQRS architectures.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
- Familiarity with performance testing and optimization techniques for high-TPS systems.
Soft Skills
- Excellent organizational and time management skills — able to juggle multiple workstreams without dropping deliverables.
- Clear communicator in both English and Thai — able to translate technical context for non-technical stakeholders.
- Good inter-team communication and ability to collaborate across engineering, QA, DevOps, and product.
- Comfortable with ambiguity — can make decisions with incomplete information and course-correct as needed.
- High accountability mindset — owns outcomes, not just tasks.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
- 3+ years of software development experience in a production environment.
- 1+ year in a lead, senior, or tech-lead capacity — with demonstrated ownership of delivery outcomes (not just individual contribution).
- Experience working on high-traffic or transaction-heavy systems is a strong plus.
