Technical 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-level products. In this role, you will guide a compact team of 3-5 engineers as they develop educational applications used by thousands of students.
Potential product assignments include:
- Athena: AI-powered video and test generation delivering quantifiable academic results
- TeachTap: AI-driven platform bringing historical personalities to life through a TikTok-inspired learning interface
- TeachTales: Customized, immersive storytelling designed to improve reading comprehension
- TrashCat: Game-based learning that transforms education into an engaging experience
This position balances two key responsibilities: 50% direct development of sophisticated features and 50% mentoring and empowering your team. You will define quality expectations, create reusable patterns, conduct code reviews with instructional intent, and foster engineer development. Your accountability extends to collective team results, not solely individual contributions.
Expect a lean team structure, substantial ownership, and minimal administrative overhead. Technical leadership is your domain; people management responsibilities belong elsewhere.
What you will be doing
- Developing sophisticated features that establish technical patterns for the team
- Conducting pull request reviews with comprehensive, instructional commentary
- Mentoring engineers through pair programming and constructive feedback
- Orchestrating technical initiatives and decomposing project requirements
- Defining quality benchmarks and ensuring team adherence
What you will NOT be doing
- Handling personnel management (recruitment, termination, performance evaluations, career development discussions)
- Contributing to platform-level infrastructure projects
- Participating in prolonged meeting schedules
- Designing architecture without hands-on implementation
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 5 years of full-stack development experience
- Minimum 2 years in a technical leadership capacity (conducting code reviews, mentoring engineers, defining team standards)
- Proven history of delivering SaaS products
- Practical experience integrating AI tools into development processes
- Verifiable track record of elevating other engineers' skills and performance
