Build. Scale. Sustain.
PALO IT is a global technology consultancy that crafts tech as a force for good. We design, develop and scale digital and sustainable products and services to unlock value across the triple bottom line: people, planet, profit. We do the right thing, and we do it right. We're proud to be a World Economic Forum New Champion and a B Corp-certified company.
- We are small enough to care locally, big enough to deliver globally (5 continents, 18 offices, 650+ experts from 50+ nationalities)
- We are robust and resilient (100% independent and 0 debt)
- We are entrepreneurs and passionate experts: we invest in what we genuinely believe in and work as a collective intelligence
- We are positive, courageous, caring, doers, and committed to excellence
While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with strong collaboration between generative AI and our best talents:
- We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design — with GitHub Copilot.
- Quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.
- A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.
- A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.
With Gen-e2, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.
As a Tech Lead Full Stack with a strong software architecture mindset, you will lead the technical delivery of digital products end-to-end—hands-on when needed—while guiding teams toward scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.
- Lead the design and evolution of technology solutions, ensuring scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
- Drive architectural decisions and trade-offs (e.g., microservices vs modular monolith), applying patterns such as DDD, Clean/Hexagonal Architecture, and event-driven approaches when relevant.
- Design, build, and evolve REST APIs, including versioning, contract-first practices (OpenAPI), backward compatibility, and robust error handling.
- Define and enforce engineering standards: clean code, testing strategy, code reviews, observability, security practices, and CI/CD.
- Mentor and coach engineers, fostering a strong delivery culture and continuously raising the engineering bar.
- Partner with Product, QA, UX, and stakeholders to refine scope, assess technical risks, shape the roadmap, and deliver incrementally.
- Encourage AI-first engineering practices (Copilot/GenAI) with proper governance: quality gates, security, traceability, and testing.
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with proven technical leadership (Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or strong senior with leadership responsibilities).
- Strong backend expertise in Java (ideally 17/21/25+) or .NET, with solid testing practices (e.g., JUnit/Mockito or .NET equivalents) and performance awareness.
- Strong frontend expertise in Angular (ideally 12+) with TypeScript, RxJS, frontend architecture, and performance best practices.
- Proven ability to design and communicate software architecture: microservices/modular monoliths, Clean/Hexagonal, SOLID principles, integration patterns, and API design.
- Strong engineering fundamentals: CI/CD, Git workflows, code review practices, observability (logs/metrics/traces), and a secure-by-design mindset.
Nice to have / Strong plus
- Kafka/RabbitMQ, event-driven architectures, CQRS, saga/outbox patterns.
- Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform/IaC, and cloud experience (AWS/Azure/GCP).
- OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, and security best practices (OWASP).
- Experience in high-traffic systems, performance tuning, and caching strategies.
- Experience working in AI-assisted engineering environments and setting quality/security guardrails.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to influence decisions and align teams.
- Professional English (B2+ preferred) for global collaboration and documentation.
- Use Generative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for:
- Code scaffolding and refactoring
- Code generation and optimisation
- Test-cases and documentation generation
- Build applications through AI-driven development practices, including:
- AI-assisted debugging and troubleshooting
- Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition
- Automated documentation generation
- Apply prompt engineering best practices for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.
- Validate GenAI output (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).
