Description
We're seeking Technical Team Leads to oversee quality and delivery for our application-level products. You will guide a compact team of 3-5 engineers who develop educational applications serving thousands of students.
Potential products include:
- Athena: AI-powered videos and assessments producing measurable learning results
- TeachTap: AI-driven platform bringing historical personalities to life through a TikTok-style learning interface
- TeachTales: Customized, enchanting storytelling designed to enhance comprehension
- TrashCat: Game-based learning that makes education enjoyable and interactive
This role balances individual contribution with leadership: you'll spend 50% building sophisticated features hands-on and 50% mentoring and empowering your team. You define quality expectations, create coding patterns, provide instructive code reviews, and support engineer development. Your accountability extends to team results, not solely your individual contributions.
Compact team structure, substantial ownership, minimal bureaucracy. Your focus is technical leadership; people management is handled separately.
What you will be doing
- Developing sophisticated features that establish patterns for your team to follow
- Conducting PR reviews with thorough, instructional feedback
- Mentoring engineers through pair programming and constructive guidance
- Organizing technical workstreams and decomposing requirements
- Defining quality benchmarks and ensuring team adherence
What you will NOT be doing
- Handling people management responsibilities (hiring, terminations, performance evaluations, career development discussions)
- Developing platform-level infrastructure
- Attending endless meetings
- Designing architecture without hands-on implementation
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 5 years of full-stack development experience
- Minimum 2 years in a leadership capacity (conducting code reviews, mentoring developers, defining team practices)
- Proven history of delivering SaaS products
- Practical experience integrating AI tools into development processes
- Proven capability in elevating other engineers' skills and performance
