About the Role We are seeking a Tech Lead who doesn't just write code, but acts as a true "Force Multiplier" for our engineering program. Your primary goal is to build an autonomous, high-performing, and resilient team by systematically removing operational friction, coaching talent, and aligning execution with our broader departmental strategy. Balancing strategic people leadership with hands-on technical guidance, you will champion program delivery and team health while protecting your engineers from external distractions. Key Responsibilities People Management & Career Velocity ● Continuous Coaching & Career Planning: Conduct regular, structured 1:1s with every engineer in your program to evaluate morale, remove technical blockers, and track actionable career development paths. ● Performance & Competency Ownership: Run objective developer competency evaluations based on our progression framework, execute fair appraisals, and manage the program's evolving skills-matrix. ● Team Admin & Burnout Prevention: Balance sprint workloads dynamically across team members, manage vacancy/leave approvals, and maintain a sustainable pace of delivery to prevent burnout. Process, Execution & "The Shield" ● Operational Protection: Serve as the primary operational shield for Technical Owners, absorbing non-technical interruptions and stakeholder negotiations before they impact active development. ● Agile Metrics & Bottleneck Resolution: Proactively monitor and analyze the program’s agile delivery metrics to spot structural bottlenecks and continuously refine team processes. ● Quarterly & Resource Alignment: Collaborate closely with Engineering Managers (EMs) and Product Managers (PMs) to align on quarterly objectives (OKRs), resource sharing across programs, and capacity planning. Technical Mentorship & Architecture ● High-Value, Non-Blocking Contributions: Focus on high-value, non-blocking technical objectives (such as high-level system design, addressing architecture-level technical debt, or authoring essential engineering documentation). ● Quality Assurance & Architecture Reviews: Provide overarching architectural guidance across projects, champion automated testing standards in collaboration with QA, and conduct complex Pull Request (PR) reviews to ensure system reliability. ● 7+ years of Software Engineering experience, building scalable production-grade applications (aligned with the Tech Lead track expectations). ● 1+ years of experience in a leadership or management role, directly managing multiple projects (5–7 engineers). ● Architectural & System Design: Proven experience designing highly scalable system architectures, authoring pristine design docs, and guiding others through complex system integrations. ● Code Quality & Technical Standards: Demonstrated ability to establish codebase standards, execute complex PR reviews, and systematically address technical debt to keep production stable. ● Delivery & Agile Execution: Experience using modern agile workflow tools (such as Jira) to plan sprint capacities, analyze delivery metrics, and systematically resolve program-level bottlenecks. ● People Leadership & Coaching: A track record of successfully mentoring junior and mid-level engineers, co-creating actionable career development plans, and unblocking professional growth paths. ● Stakeholder Collaboration: Exceptional communication skills with experience acting as an operational shield for developers, managing cross-program alignment, and translating business needs into clear technical scope. ● Reliability Engineering: A strong focus on system reliability, scalability, and performance optimization to build highly available, fault-tolerant production environments. Preferred Qualifications (The "Plus" Factors) ● Experience managing resource allocation and alignment across multiple distinct projects simultaneously. ● Background collaborating closely with Product Management on capacity planning and product roadmapping. ● Active experience in hiring, from running technical interviews to designing onboarding processes that set up new hits for immediate success.
