Want to lead technically without giving up the code? We're looking for a Tech Lead - Capability to take ownership of some of the most important foundations behind ECA's multi-tenant B2B SaaS platform.

Use AI throughout the software development lifecycle – from design and build through to testing and review.
Explore how AI coding agents can genuinely improve engineering productivity, while putting the right guardrails around their use.
