Talent development is a core part of our mission. You'll also focus on people development (e.g. feedback or career conversations) and building a high-performing team (approx. 20% of your time).

- Architecture Development is only one part of building a working system. Tech Leads must have a broader understanding of how software fits into the overall system. They need a good understanding of how the software will be deployed, managed, and operated in a production environment.
- Leadership An effective Tech Lead needs to have strong leadership skills, even when they are not accountable for line management. Leadership skills like coaching, influencing, and delegation are keys to success in this role.
