Tech Lead (Lead Developer)

Wenco’s Fleet Management System is a real-time, mission-critical application that has supported global mining operations for decades. The codebase reflects that history. It’s deep, complex, and not something you can shortcut your way through. We are hiring a Tech Lead who will be the strongest technical executor on the team. This is a hands-on, code-every-day role, not a strategy or management position. Technical direction and coaching are supported by your manager where your primary job is to understand a large legacy C++ system deeply enough to make sound decisions about what to extract, what to refactor, and what to leave alone, and then execute on those decisions. You will be the first hire in a new development team. You’ll have the full backing of a strong, battle-tested engineering team, but you’re here to shape how this team operates from day one. The standard you set in your work becomes the team’s baseline. You will be expected to drive the technical direction of these changes, and to demonstrate the capability to do so. As you build system knowledge and trust, you’ll grow into mentoring the team and shaping the engineering culture around you.
