Technical Lead (TL)

As the role implies, you will be the primary leader for your project, and the Executive Team will be here to support you with anything you might need! Your responsibilities include:

• Project Scoping: Meet with the non-profit organization to understand their project needs and determine the appropriate tech stack, given their requirements and your team’s abilities. The VP Projects and your Product Manager will be available to support you throughout this stage. You will also be expected to meet consistently with the NPO to ensure that you are meeting their requirements. 

• Project Planning: The goal is to implement an Agile (Scrum) project methodology that emphasizes iterative development, frequent communication, and team collaboration to deliver high-quality products. Setting bi-weekly goals for your developers and dividing features into manageable tasks will help enable consistent progress.

• Building Team Culture: Blueprint and its teams should be seen as more than just a “job”. While the work may be challenging, we want this to be an enjoyable experience for all of those involved. The Exec Team will host GBMs and events throughout the semester to help build the culture within Blueprint as a whole. While most of your team’s work may be done asynchronously, implementing practices such as pair programming, or hosting live in-person work sessions can prevent your team from feeling isolated.
