Job Description

A South African technology company that specializes in security communication and alarm monitoring solutions is seeking a Technical Team Lead to head their software division. This is a 70/30 role: 70% of your time will be spent “in the trenches” (architecting, coding, and peer-reviewing), and 30% will be dedicated to leadership, sprint planning, and mentoring.

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.

Minimum 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.
Nice to haves:
- Experience with Bluetooth LE (BLE) for mobile-to-hardware configuration.
- Knowledge of South African security industry protocols (Contact ID, SIA).
- Experience with DevOps pipelines (CI/CD) for automated app deployment.
