This includes internal business applications, client-facing portals, APIs, data platforms, reporting systems, workflow automation, and integrations across the organization. The Team Lead is a hands-on engineering leader for a team building modern, full-stack applications - primarily a Java and Spring Boot backend with a React (JavaScript/TypeScript) front end. This individual is responsible for the technical direction, quality, and delivery of these platforms while ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable, and aligned with business objectives. The Team Lead works closely with business stakeholders, executive leadership, and cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software that supports the continued growth of Trajan Wealth. The Team Lead serves as both a hands-on technical leader and a people manager - writing and reviewing code, mentoring developers, establishing engineering standards, driving architectural decisions across the Java/Spring Boot services and React front end, and ensuring successful execution of the technology roadmap., Leadership & Team Management * Lead the Development Team on a day-to-day basis including standups, quarterly reviews, annual reviews, coaching, mentoring, workload management, and team development. * Manage and develop software engineers across multiple disciplines, including full-stack developers, integration engineers, and application developers. * Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. * Partner with leadership to establish priorities, resource planning, and technology roadmaps. Technical Leadership * Lead the design, development, implementation, and support of enterprise software solutions, integrations, and digital platforms. * Own the overall technical direction and architecture of Trajan Wealth's application ecosystem, including the Java/Spring Boot microservices backend, React front end, and supporting APIs and data stores. * Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, reliable, and aligned with business objectives. * Establish coding standards, development best practices, documentation standards, and architectural guidelines across the Java and React codebases. * Conduct design reviews and provide technical oversight on complex engineering initiatives. * Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend solutions that improve efficiency, automation, and scalability. Application Development * Remain hands-on - personally design and build key features across the Spring Boot backend and React front end, not just oversee them. * Collaborate with product owners and business stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions. * Ensure high-quality software delivery through code reviews, testing strategies, and development standards. * Guide development of client-facing applications, internal business systems, workflow automation, and enterprise integrations. * Drive modern, full-stack development practices - RESTful and API-first design, microservices, component-based React UIs, automated testing, and cloud-native deployment. DevOps, Cloud & Operations * Establish and manage software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes and DevOps standards. * Lead the implementation and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment processes. * Promote infrastructure automation, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), monitoring, observability, and operational excellence. * Ensure applications meet uptime, performance, and security requirements. * Support production environments, incident management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives. ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Successful talent development in tech: A joint journey of executives and talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1497-successful-talent-development-in-tech-a-joint-journey-of-executives-and-talents) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [React Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/198-react-developer-salary-2023) - [Software Developer Salary in Switzerland [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/215-software-developer-salary-in-switzerland-2023) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers)
