Job Description

Due to ongoing public health concerns, Think Company continues to operate in the United States as a fully remote company. As such, please consider this a remote (work from home) position.

We are looking for a Technical Lead to join our team at Think Company.

At Think Company some Technical Lead roles are more code-focused, and some are more consulting-focused. It’s absolutely not expected that a Technical Lead is simultaneously the lead coder, the lead coordinator, and a lead consultant. The common denominator for a Technical Lead is trust. Regardless of their particular strengths and their role on a project, the Technical Lead is the one who earns and maintains the trust of the client through careful listening, consistent planning, and competent execution by the team.

Candidates should also be able to demonstrate prior experience with setting and ensuring compliance with coding standards, making browser and device support recommendations, solving application architecture challenges, advising on content management workflow and CMS configuration, analyzing and remediating page performance issues, and addressing accessibility issues. Candidates should have experience in accurately scoping projects, defining project requirements, translating business requirements into technical requirements, architecting the technical environment and hosting infrastructure, identifying milestones and managing a delivery team against those milestones.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of client’s business and technology stack; establish and maintain a positive relationship with the client; represent Think Company with professionalism and integrity
• Work collaboratively as part of a team that includes visual/UX designers, developers, project managers, and other roles (both clients and internal colleagues), flexing between a leadership or supporting role as required
• Architect technical solutions that meet clients’ business, IT, and user needs, and that balance time, budget, and quality considerations appropriately
• Manage developers to deliver technical solutions on-time and on-budget, based on a technical delivery plan; work with project manager to communicate technical team status and manage client expectations
• Research and document web development technologies, trends, and innovations, and make recommendations or deliver presentations to clients and internal colleagues

Requirements

• Extensive experience determining and analyzing technical project requirements, creating and managing a plan of work including identifying deliverables and estimating time
• Significant experience in leading and coaching a development team to deliver technical deliverables on-time, on-budget, and on-spec
• Deep understanding of the modern web platform and common architectural solutions
• Significant experience with front-end development practices including accessibility, progressive enhancement, cross-browser/platform compatibility, performance, and pre-processors/build tools
• Significant experience with web application development, primarily on the front-end (Angular, React, Node-ecosystem platforms.), and potentially also on the back-end (PHP, .NET, Python, Ruby on Rails, etc.). A working understanding of the tools and platforms needed to host these solutions
• Significant experience with content management systems (AEM, Sitecore, Drupal, WordPress, or others) including data and information architecture, templating, and publishing workflow.
• Experience with git, experience working with git in teams, and knowledge of Git Flow methodologies
• Familiarity with user experience (UX) design processes (conceptual design, wireframes, usability testing)
• Excellent presentation and communication skills
• Exceptional customer service skills and careful attention to detail

Think Company’s developers are passionate about crafting code that is as beautiful and as elegant as our designs. We believe in web standards, progressive enhancement, and accessibility. We aim to build an open and faster web while delivering real value for our clients. We are a team of individuals with diverse skills who love learning and sharing knowledge. We hope you’ll come think with us.

This is a remote position, but please note that candidates are expected to operate within Eastern Standard Time Zone business hours.

Think Company defines and solves business problems for companies across a wide range of industries, from start-ups to Fortune 50 organizations. Our environment is dynamic and highly matrixed, involving design, development, and project management.

Our employees—Thinkers—present concepts to executive-level stakeholders, answer hard questions, and use evidence to make recommendations. Our solutions often solve the challenges of modern companies—integrating multiple systems, breaking down organizational silos, and creating more holistic service experiences. See examples of our typical projects.
