Who we are
Toucanberry Tech is a boutique software consultancy specialising in the reinsurance sector. We build innovative products and services by organising cross-functional squads covering product, design, engineering, and data. We value autonomy, results, and cutting through bureaucracy.
The role
You will be the technical lead on one of our client data platform projects, working with a small engineering team and one or two key client stakeholders.
Where this role can go

- Join daily stand-ups and challenge technical decisions where needed
- Set and enforce engineering standards, including the release process and platform security

- Be the client’s go-to technical contact, setting clear expectations and giving them confidence the project is under control
- Make sure solutions are built to be maintained and supported long term through our managed service
- Report clearly and concisely, both internally and to the client
Minimum requirements
You will have come up through the tech lead route and be ready to own a client engagement, with a strong technical background and a growing commercial mindset.
- A background as a Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, Solutions Architect or Lead Consultant on data or cloud platform projects
- Strong architectural knowledge of modern cloud data platforms (Azure, AWS or GCP)
- Experience working in regulated environments where security and governance matter
- Able to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical and commercial stakeholders
- Highly organised, detail-focused, reliable and proactive
