Who are we?

We are a team passionate about the environment, people and climate. We come from different countries and backgrounds. We decided to build TREEO to fight climate change and help smallholder farmers by planting trees. We are building technology that brings unprecedented transparency, trust and efficiency into tree planting. Our product consists of a native Android mobile app written in Kotlin, backend written in TypeScrit, NestJS running on Google Cloud, and web written in React. We use GitHub, ZenHub, Miro, LinearB, SonarCloud, Slack and Basecamp to organise our work.

We have teams based in Kampala, Germany, and Indonesia. Our core development team is based in Kampala and has seven members. We will hire more engineers over the following months.

Why do we need a development lead?

The TREEO development team is expanding, and we are looking for an experienced development lead who will focus on the team culture, performance and quality of our product.

What will you do?

You will lead Scrum teams and help them in achieving company goals:

  • Together with your teams, you will set up rules and make sure that teams follow these rules.
  • You will measure and review the teams’ performance using various metrics and share these metrics with the entire team.
  • You will actively look for improvements in the development process and product quality.
  • You will coach whole teams and individual team members on their professional development.
  • You will be the go-to person for the CTO and company management.
  • You will hire new team members.
  • You will handle the personal issues and fight for your team.

What skills and experience do you need to have?

You have already been a development lead or manager for several years and enjoyed it. You have a background in software development, and you are hands-on. However, we don’t expect you to be the best developer or have the best technical skills. You see yourself more as a leader than a manager. You know how to improve team performance and the quality of software products. You have international working experience. You have first-hand experience with Scrum, and you’ve been in the role of a Scrum Master.
