Uvik Software is looking for a Tech Lead (Python/Django and React) who loves combining hands-on coding (~70%) with architectural leadership. You will define the technical vision, design scalable systems, and ensure best practices across the stack—while still writing code and shipping features.

About the ProjectWe are building a platform that connects nonprofits and small businesses with skilled volunteers, helping them tackle complex challenges and maximize their impact. Our mission is to close the resource gap that 92% of nonprofits face by giving them access to expertise in marketing, HR, technology, strategy, and more. Volunteers contribute to causes they care about, while organizations gain the support they need to achieve their vision.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being both a builder and a strategist: leading technical decision-making, mentoring engineers, and architecting systems that last.
