About The Role & Team

The Lead Developer is a full-time member of the development team and expected to be a high-level producer of work for the team. Alongside this the lead developer helps by providing direction and influence on self-organized teams. Lead developer plays many roles, architect, project manager, software engineer, platform engineer, mentor, and team-mate all at once.

A lead developer is invested in the success of the entire product team and prioritizes the success of the team over their own individual goals. This doesn’t mean all the responsibilities fall to the tech lead to carry out. Delegation is the key to this and identifying things that can be optimized to make the product development easier and faster, this can be anything from a slow CICD process to complex infrastructure taking up valuable story points. A tech lead is not a delivery lead, a tech lead is concerned with all technical matters and the delivery lead is concerned with managing people and progress.

Validation is a solution offered by SITA that provides security validation of passengers at check points and operate e-gates if exists, suitable for all tier airports. Validation results are displayed using thick, thin and mobile clients for agents.
