Job Description
About the Role
Hire Resolve, a South African technology company specializing in security communication and alarm monitoring solutions, is seeking a Technical Team Lead to head their software division. This 70/30 role will have you spending 70% of your time “in the trenches” (architecting, coding, and peer-reviewing), and 30% on leadership, sprint planning, and mentoring.
Key Responsibilities
- Technical Leadership: Drive the architectural vision for the miAlarm (B2C) and FinmonTech (B2B) ecosystems. Ensure systems are highly available ($99.9\%$ uptime) as they handle life-safety data.
- Hands-On Development: Lead by example by writing high-quality, scalable code. You will tackle the most complex bugs and build the “skeleton” of new features.
- Team Management: Manage a small team of internal and possibly outsourced developers. Conduct code reviews, provide mentorship, and foster a culture of technical excellence.
- Hardware-Software Integration: Work closely with the hardware engineering team to ensure seamless communication between GSM/LTE radio units and the software backend.
- Product Delivery: Own the software roadmap. Translate business requirements from the CEO/Sales into technical tasks (Jira/Azure DevOps) and ensure timely releases.
- Security & Compliance: Implement rigorous security protocols (encryption, biometric auth, secure token storage) to protect user data and alarm signals.
Requirements
- Experience: 6+ years in Software Development with at least 2 years in a Lead/Senior capacity.
- Backend: Proficiency in Python or Node.js (common for IoT backends) or Golang/C#.
- Mobile: Strong experience with React Native or Flutter (Finmon uses cross-platform apps for iOS/Android).
- IoT Knowledge: Experience with MQTT, WebSockets, or similar protocols used for real-time device communication.
- Cloud: Experience managing AWS or Azure environments, specifically serverless functions and real-time databases.
Salary & Benefits
