Software Technical Lead

At Flipdish, we’re turning the tables in favour of independent restaurant and takeaway owners by providing them with the tools they need to make their lives easier. We provide our customers with a suite of powerful, but straightforward tech along with (real human) support, so they can thrive on their own terms.

Everything we do is designed to make running a restaurant satisfyingly simple, in a world that’s anything but.

About this role

As part of our continued growth, we’re looking for a Tech Lead to join our Client Experience team - creating stand out experiences that allow our clients to self serve across our platforms.

The client experience team has a particular focus on the self service and maintenance of our products, through their online portal. Our main goal is to provide our clients with a standout management platform for all their Flipdish services. We are also responsible for creating an efficient and exciting onboarding flow, allowing the clients to start earning money fast!

This role is ideal for someone with previous experience as a tech lead, or as a senior developer responsible for creating new and standout products. You should have previous experience working in the cloud, preferably using serverless architecture.

In this job, you’ll…

• Work with a PM and EM to help manage and run the team
• Deeply understand our customers and their problems, ensuring that the team is always focused on the right thing
• Lead architectural decisions and help evolve our Golden Path - shaping how we build, deploy, observe, and scale services across Flipdish in AWS
• Be hands on developing our client platforms
• Act as a multiplier by mentoring engineers, driving best practices, and fostering knowledge-sharing across teams
• Advocate for, and implement automation wherever possible
• Help the team adopt AI tools and capabilities – identifying valuable use cases and making it easier for others to explore, prototype, and safely integrate AI into their workflows

We’re looking for…

• 2+ years experience as a technical leader, with real-world experience setting direction and influencing teams
• 8+ years of development experience, working with React, Typescript and C#, using Domain Driven Design and Event Driven Architectures
• Proven ability to work across the full stack, owning your own vertical slice of the product
• Solid experience in AWS, particularly with core serverless technologies (e.g. Lambda, DynamoDB), and a track record of building reliable, scalable systems. Azure experience is a bonus
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills – the ability to build trust across teams and explain technical concepts clearly
• Experience mentoring engineers and helping grow a strong engineering culture
• A proactive problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity and can distil complexity into pragmatic, scalable solutions
