Technical Lead

Overview

Freelance Technical Lead Chatbot Platform:

We are supporting a large enterprise organisation that is scaling an existing chatbot platform and is looking for a hands on Technical Lead to take full technical ownership of the solution.

This is not a greenfield build and not a project management role. The platform is already live and in use, and the focus is on stabilisation, technical control, and sound architectural decision making within a complex enterprise environment.

This role suits a senior engineer who has already acted as a Technical Lead and enjoys bringing structure and clarity to running systems.

Responsibilities

• Take full technical ownership of an existing chatbot platform
• Act as the single technical reference point for architecture and delivery decisions
• Review code and guide technical implementation across contributors
• Ensure architectural consistency and quality across the platform
• Work hands on when required to unblock or stabilise delivery
• Guide and support existing developers without line management responsibility
• Reduce delivery risk and bring control to a complex technical setup

What we are looking for

• Strong engineering background in Java, .NET, or Python
• Proven experience acting as a Technical Lead in a large enterprise environment
• Real world production experience with chatbot or conversational platforms
• Comfortable working in complex corporate IT landscapes
• Able to make clear technical decisions and explain trade offs
• Hands on mindset with the ability to step into the code when needed

Location and setup

• Hybrid working model with onsite presence expected
• English speaking environment

Why this role

• High level of technical ownership and autonomy
• Clear mandate and fast decision making
• Opportunity to stabilise and shape a business critical platform
• Focus on real delivery rather than presentations or process

If you are a senior technical leader who enjoys owning real systems and making pragmatic decisions in enterprise environments, we would like to hear from you.
