Engineering Team Lead $200,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
We are seeking Technical Team Leads to ensure quality and timely delivery across our application-layer products. You will guide a compact team of 3-5 engineers developing educational applications that serve thousands of students.
Example products in your potential scope:
- Athena: AI-powered video and assessment generation producing quantifiable learning gains
- TeachTap: AI-driven platform recreating historical figures in a TikTok-inspired educational format
- TeachTales: Customized, immersive storytelling designed to enhance reading comprehension
- TrashCat: Game-based learning platform transforming education into an engaging experience
This position balances execution and leadership: half your time spent implementing challenging features, the other half devoted to mentoring and empowering your team. You define quality expectations, model engineering patterns, conduct code reviews with instructional emphasis, and support professional development. Team-level results fall under your accountability, extending beyond individual contributions.
Lean teams, substantial ownership, minimal overhead. Your focus is technical leadership; people management resides elsewhere.
What you will be doing
- Implementing challenging features that serve as blueprints for team standards
- Conducting PR reviews with comprehensive, instructional commentary
- Developing engineers through pairing sessions and constructive feedback
- Organizing technical initiatives and decomposing product requirements
- Defining quality benchmarks and maintaining team adherence
What you will NOT be doing
- Handling personnel functions (recruiting, terminations, performance evaluations, career planning)
- Building platform or infrastructure-layer systems
- Attending excessive or unproductive meetings
- Designing architecture without hands-on execution
Candidate requirements
- At least 5 years of full-stack development experience
- At least 2 years in a lead role (reviewing others' work, mentoring engineers, establishing team practices)
- Track record of shipping SaaS products
- Experience with AI tools in development workflow
- Demonstrated ability to help other engineers improve and grow
