Role Overview
Careium is looking for an experienced and driven Tech Lead to join our team and play a key role in the continued development and transformation of I-care Online (ICO), our Device Management system. In this role, you will act as the team’s primary technical authority, responsible for the technical health, maintainability, and long-term sustainability of the platform.
A major focus of the position will be to lead the technical transformation of ICO. You will bridge strategic architectural direction with hands-on implementation, ensuring that technical decisions support both business needs and long-term product quality.
Key Responsibilities:
As a Tech Lead, you will guide the technical direction of the team and ensure ICO remains scalable, secure, reliable, and maintainable. You will lead technical design discussions, architecture alignment, code quality initiatives, and engineering best practices while staying close to delivery and implementation.
A central part of the role will be driving the modernization journey of the current .NET and MS SQL based platform, helping transition existing on-premises solutions into a cloud environment using AWS. You will identify technical risks, improvement opportunities, and define pragmatic roadmaps for transformation.
You will work closely with the Product Owner to balance feature delivery, modernization efforts, technical debt, and operational stability. You will also serve as the team’s main technical counterpart to Architects, translating broader architectural decisions into practical team-level execution.
The role also includes supporting the team in technical investigations, root cause analysis, and solving complex issues requiring development expertise. In addition, you will collaborate with suppliers and external partners connected to the team’s delivery area.
Who are you and what are your qualifications?
We believe you are a senior engineer with strong technical judgment and a passion for modernization and continuous improvement. You are comfortable working in both strategic and hands-on contexts, and you know how to guide teams through technical change.
To succeed in this role, you likely have:
Several years of experience in software development, including senior or lead responsibilities
Strong hands-on experience with .NET development environments
Solid knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server / MS SQL
Proven experience migrating on-premises systems to cloud platforms, preferably AWS
Experience with system modernization, refactoring, and technical debt reduction
Strong understanding of software architecture, maintainability, performance, and security
Experience leading technical decisions and guiding engineering standards
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams
Experience working in Agile product development environments.

Skills we would love to see:
Cloud-native architecture and AWS services
CI/CD pipelines and DevOps ways of working
Legacy system transformation and modernization programs
Integration-heavy platforms and device management systems
Coaching and mentoring developers
High-availability systems and performance optimization
Vendor or subcontractor collaboration
Passion for building sustainable products and strong engineering teams.
