Description
We are seeking Technical Team Leads to oversee quality and delivery for our application-level products. You will guide a compact team of 3-5 engineers developing 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-inspired educational interface
- TeachTales: Customized, engaging storytelling designed to enhance comprehension
- TrashCat: Game-based learning that makes education enjoyable and interactive
This position combines hands-on execution with leadership: approximately 50% direct contribution to complex feature development and 50% team coaching and enablement. You will define quality expectations, create technical patterns, conduct code reviews with instructional commentary, and foster engineer development. Accountability extends to team-wide results, not solely individual output.
Expect a lean team structure with substantial ownership and minimal administrative overhead. Technical leadership is your domain; people management responsibilities rest elsewhere.
What you will be doing
- Developing complex features that establish technical patterns for the team
- Conducting PR reviews with thorough, instructional feedback
- Mentoring engineers through pair programming and constructive critique
- Organizing technical workstreams and decomposing requirements
- Defining quality benchmarks and ensuring team adherence
What you will NOT be doing
- Handling people management tasks (recruitment, termination, performance evaluations, career development discussions)
- Building platform-level infrastructure components
- Attending excessive 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 engineers, defining team practices)
- Proven history of delivering SaaS products
- Experience integrating AI tools into development processes
- Documented success in advancing engineer capabilities and growth
