Job Description

Location : Cape Town City Centre (onsite with flexibility to miss traffic)

We are searching for a Cape Town-based Senior Java Team Lead for an international startup that builds high-performance, next-gen 5G smart routers and networking hardware to deliver seamless, global connectivity.

About the role

The Senior Java Team Lead will run a small team building high-volume, low-latency systems on a modern Java / Spring Boot stack. This is a handsโ€‘on lead role : you'll write and review code, but your bigger job is organising the team's work, unblocking people, and making sure what we ship is solid.

Youโ€™ll own delivery for your team's slice of the platform: planning, work allocation, code quality, technical direction, and stakeholder communication. You'll report into engineering leadership and have a real say in architecture and hiring.

What youโ€™ll actually do

Lead the team (about 30% of your time)
