Technical Lead​/Senior Developer

Position: Technical Lead / Senior Developer
Wiz-Team is the solution provider for Event and Games management software. From our head offices in Lausanne (Switzerland) and with registered subsidiaries in Italy, Belgium, Ukraine, and the USA and a global presence with our partners, we empower event managers with software, consultancy, and delivery services for world class events for the sport, corporate, and IGOs/NGOs industries. With over 15 years of experience in event management platforms and managing event-related projects, we pride ourselves into delivering real world solutions for your projects.
Reporting to Head of Operations and to the CTO, the Technical Lead will work with a distributed engineering organization across our European offices.
This role will own the technical evolution of one of our key products — a multi-tenant, multi-client platform serving major sporting clients during their most critical operational phases.

You will be the technical anchor of the pod, accountable for the codebase, the architecture, and the team's engineering practices.
This is a hands‑on leadership role: you will write code, review code, and set technical direction while coaching engineers and improving how the team operates.
