1. Urbantz operates on one of the most growing markets, offering a SaaS solution for retail, logistics, and e-commerce - businesses that tremendously accelerated in 2020.
2. We're growing fast for the last 5 years - recently Deloitte has listed us among the top 3 fastest-growing start-ups in Belgium. We're a team of diverse people who make things happen.
3. Our culture is built on experimentation, constant development, flexibility, and encouragement of initiatives in an international, English-speaking work environment.

Your journey at Urbantz:

As a Technical Lead, you will be responsible for partnering with other leaders on the Engineering teams to help craft the best solutions to solve the problems at hand, whether that be through people, process, or technology.

You will:

• Support, coach, and lead an effective team of roughly five Software Engineers with architecture, maintenance, and scaling the current codebase
• Work closely with an Engineering Manager to coordinate the team's objectives, strategies, and execution
• Guide our product and technical evolution, and drive reductions in technical debt
• Evaluate and improve our technology strategy
  About Our Stack:

We migrated from AWS ECS to Azure using Kubernetes for container orchestration. Our main data store is MongoDB hosted on Mongo Atlas, but we also use Elasticsearch for some corner-case full-text search needs. Our backend and API code runs on Node.js, while the front-end web application is written in AngularJS and we are looking into migrating it.

Our toolset also counts with single-command, build & deploy tasks for both production and staging environments, working along with GitLab CI. We use Protractor for the end-to-end testing and Jest for the back-end unit testing.
