We are seeking a highly capable Technical Coach who embodies excellence in software craftsmanship, collaborative engineering practices, and modern development techniques. This is a deeply hands-on role that focuses on elevating both individual and team capabilities through real-code coaching, modeling best practices, and guiding developers in practical, day-to-day engineering scenarios. The ideal candidate brings not only strong conceptual understanding but demonstrable, applied expertise in areas such as TDD, pairing, refactoring, design patterns, and clean code principles. Through collaborative work, technical leadership, and a commitment to quality and continuous learning, this role helps cultivate a culture of craftsmanship and drives engineering excellence across the organization.
Responsibilities:

- Design and deliver engaging workshops, training sessions, and technical presentations covering code craft, Agile principles, and effective teaming practices.
- Actively model and teach Test-Driven Development (TDD), Pair Programming, and Mob Programming, guiding teams through real sessions to build mastery.
- Demonstrate expertise in design patterns, refactoring techniques, and clean code principles, helping teams improve code quality and maintainability.
- Promote strong teamwork behaviors, emphasizing collaboration, communication, and Agile ways of working.
- Advocate for developers at all levels of the organization, surfacing challenges, needs, and opportunities for growth.
- Encourage the use of AI-assisted development tools and code craft techniques to elevate delivery speed and quality.
- Champion a culture of learning, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.
Requirements:

Required Skills:
- Test-Driven Development (TDD)
- Pair Programming
- Mob Programming
- Design Patterns
- Refactoring techniques
- Code craft principles and AI-assisted development
- Agile and teaming concepts
Preferred Skills:
- Hands-on technical excellence, with the ability to not only explain engineering practices but actively model them in real coding situations.
- Empathetic and trusted mentor, able to build rapport across teams and skill levels.
- Strong communicator and facilitator, capable of breaking down complex concepts with clarity and enthusiasm.
- Influential collaborator, guiding change through credibility rather than authority.
- Curious and forward-thinking, staying current with modern engineering practices and AI tooling.
- Patient and supportive, helping individuals grow through practice, feedback, and reflection.
- Experience facilitating hands-on coaching sessions, workshops, or real-time collaborative coding is strongly preferred.
