New Course: Tech Lead Masterclass

Are you an experienced engineer ready to take your career to the next level without heading into a management position? Than the Tech Lead Masterclass is the right program for you.

What is a Tech Lead? 

A Tech Lead is an individual in a leadership position with a strong technical expertise in software development, data analytics, or DevOps, who takes responsibility for infrastructure, tools, and architecture. A Tech Lead develops concepts for technically complex projects, observes technical trends, influences the direction of technical development, and imparts own expertise to team members.

Why is this Masterclass needed? 🎓

The software industry is becoming increasingly fast-paced, and the development of digital products is growing more complex. Companies aiming to create successful digital products require competent technology experts who can set the technical direction while keeping a close eye on business goals.

For a Tech Lead role, only experienced developers are considered. Nevertheless, transitioning from engineer to Tech Lead requires a new and unique set of skills that goes far beyond technical expertise. These talents must think strategically, communicate effectively, and connect the dots with business objectives.

When engineers step into the role of Tech Leads, it often feels like taking a plunge into icy waters. The shift can be challenging, and unfortunately, many find themselves unprepared for this transition. Some Tech Leads attend leadership programs alongside other managers, which sometimes fail to equip Tech Leads with the necessary skills relevant for their roles. This situation can lead to a sense of being out of place. The Tech Lead Masterclass is going to change this dilemma! It’s the first 6 week program exclusively designed to master the Tech Lead role.
