Clank Tech Group is a fast-growing software consultancy and product company focused on building high-performance digital platforms, intelligent automation systems, and scalable enterprise software. We work across bespoke software development, AI-driven tooling, data platforms, and modern cloud infrastructure to help businesses solve complex operational problems and move faster.
Our team combines strong engineering fundamentals with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset. From internal business platforms to large-scale client systems, we design and build software that is reliable, scalable, and built for real-world use – not just demos.

As we continue expanding internationally, we’re focused on building both innovative products and a world-class engineering culture around quality, execution, and continuous improvement.
Role Description
As a Team Leader / Senior Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of technical excellence and team empowerment. You will be responsible for architecting robust solutions, mentoring junior-to-mid-level developers, and ensuring that our agile processes, managed through Jira, are streamlined and effective. You are not just writing code; you are building the environment where great code happens.
