Engineering Team Lead

👋 Who are we?

Nordhealth’s mission is to build software that improves the daily lives of healthcare professionals. We build software that empower veterinary and therapy professionals to provide the best possible care experiences to their patients. Our products are used daily by over 50,000 professionals in over 10,000 clinics and hospitals annually across 30+ countries with 17+ years of experience in healthcare and veterinary software.

We understand that talent comes from everywhere and anywhere. The greater our diversity, the better the products we deliver. That’s why we are a remote-first company, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, with all ~400 employees working either remotely or from collaboration hubs. While our market presence is currently strongest in the Nordics, our customer base is rapidly growing in our other markets too, especially in Europe and North America (more at our website nordhealth.com.)

About the role

We are here to create great healthcare products. That’s at our very core, but it’s the people who make companies great, not the other way around. We spend more time with our co-workers than anyone else in our lives. Being part of an exceptional team is not only important for your personal mindfulness but key for your professional progression.

We're now looking for a technically hands-on Engineering Team Lead for our Financial integrations team. The team consist of backend and frontend engineers. In this role, you will be building the industry-leading finances features of our Provet Cloud veterinary practice management product. On the leadership side, you will be technically leading and mentoring your team members, as well as being part of a Python/Django -focused development team yourself. You and your development team will be working with a Product Manager, Designer, and QA Specialists on a specific product area to ensure our team's developments are well planned and of high quality.

The Engineering Team Lead's role is to provide leadership, direction, and support to a team of engineers to ensure the successful completion of projects and the achievement of organizational goals. The Engineering Team Lead will also be responsible for managing the day-to-day activities of the engineering team, including planning, organizing, and delegating tasks, as well as monitoring progress and ensuring quality standards are met.

Last but not least, the Engineering Team Lead will be responsible for fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement within the team. This role requires strong technical expertise, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to motivate and inspire team members to achieve their full potential. 

🚀 Your key responsibilities include:

• Leadership. Providing direction and leadership to the engineering team by setting clear goals, expectations, and priorities. 
• Project Management. Developing project plans, schedules, and ensuring that the engineering team meets deadlines. 
• Technical Expertise. Providing technical expertise and guidance to the engineering team to ensure that projects are executed efficiently and effectively. 
• Technical Oversight. Ensuring best practices in API development, coding, and testing. Review technical designs and maintain system security and reliability. 
• Financial System Integration. Overseeing the integration of financial systems (e.g., ERP, accounting software, payment gateways) with the SaaS platform. Develop scalable, robust financial integration solutions that align with customer needs and business goals. Audit requirements when integrating third-party financial platforms. 
• Team Management. Managing the performance and development of the engineering team by setting performance goals, providing feedback, coaching, and mentoring. 
• Communication. Communicating effectively with stakeholders, clients, and team members to ensure that everyone is informed and up-to-date on project progress and status. 
• Problem-Solving. Identifying and resolving technical and non-technical issues that arise during project execution, and making adjustments to project plans as needed. 
• Quality Control. Ensuring that engineering projects meet quality standards and that deliverables are completed to a high level of quality. 
• Innovation. Encouraging and fostering a culture of innovation within the engineering team to drive new ideas, processes, and technologies.
