The Opportunity
We are hiring for two distinct Tech Lead positions. Please read both role descriptions below and indicate your preference, if any, when applying.
At Univeris, a Software Development Technical Team Lead is a hands-on senior software engineer and people manager, accountable for the technical design, development, quality of deliverables, and the growth and coaching of the developers on their team. Tech Leads are collaborative by nature and lead by example, understanding that solving problems and finding solutions are always more effective when done as a collective. We are currently hiring for 2 senior Tech Lead roles spanning our R&D, and Professional Services development teams -- each distinct in focus, but unified in the standard of excellence we expect.
The R&D Tech Lead shapes the future of the Univeris platform. This means leading the design and delivery of new product capabilities and enhancements, owning the specification and technical design process end-to-end, navigating the full product lifecycle with confidence, and partnering closely with Product Owners and Product Management to negotiate roadmap scope and priorities. This role demands strong ownership, the ability to meet tight deadlines, and turning complex product requirements into well-architected, executable plans.
The Professional Services Tech Lead is the bridge between client needs, product excellence, and technical delivery. This means leading the fulfillment of client service and development requests, partnering with clients and internal stakeholders to navigate proposals and requirements, and ensuring delivered solutions align with Univeris platform standards and architecture. This role requires strong specification and design skills, clear and confident communication, and a thorough understanding of the product lifecycle from request to delivery.
Across all the roles, Tech Leads are expected to embrace an AI-first engineering mindset -- actively applying AI tools and practices to accelerate development, improve quality, and continuously raise the bar for what their teams can deliver.
