The posting

Requirements

Tecknoworks is a global technology consulting company. At our core, we embody values that define who we are and how we operate. We are curious, continuously seeking to expand our understanding and question conventional wisdom. Fearlessness drives us, propelling us to take daring steps to achieve significant outcomes. Our aspiration to be inspiring motivates us to consistently reach for our personal and collective best, setting an example for ourselves and those we interact with. Collaboration is our strength, capitalizing on the diverse brilliance within our team. Our commitment knows no bounds; we consistently go the extra mile to ensure enduring positive effects for our clients.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Software Engineering Practice Lead who combines strong people leadership, deep technical expertise, and the ability to influence clients and business outcomes.

As the leader of the Software Engineering Practice, you will be responsible for growing and developing our engineering community, defining the technical direction of the Practice, and ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients.

This role is not a pure management position and it is not a purely technical individual contributor role. You will operate at the intersection of people, technology, and business, partnering closely with Squad Leads, Client Partners, Delivery Leads, and Sales teams.

We are looking for an experienced engineer who has recently built and led high-performing teams of 8-10 people or more. Someone who has been a real people manager, not just a technical lead: running performance conversations, developing careers, growing seniors into leaders, and creating a culture people want to stay in. Someone with a clear sense of what scalability means at both team and system level, who stays current with the technology market and applies new practices without chasing hype, while remaining technology-agnostic: choosing the right tool for the problem, not the trend. Someone with strong communication and negotiation skills, comfortable working directly with clients rather than at arm's length.
