What you need

You'll thrive as an Engineering Team Lead if you

Lead from inside the work, stay hands‑on in the code, and measure success by your team's output and growth rather than your own.
Have a bias to action, turning recurring problems into owned, dated, shipped solutions instead of letting good ideas recirculate.
Treat verification and trust as the real throughput limit in an AI‑first org, and hold the line on quality without stalling momentum.
Make people decisions and difficult trade‑offs with care, and own the outcomes.
Establish standards and inspire others, not just through your own expertise but through mentorship and advocacy.
Default to open, transparent communication, and adapt your message to engineers, peers, product partners, and leadership.
Stay calm and steady when priorities compete, and keep your team oriented on what matters most.
Stay a forever learner, and grow the people around you.

Required skills and qualifications

7+ years in hands‑on software engineering roles, with real depth on the backend (Python) or the front end (React, TypeScript, or modern JavaScript frameworks), and the judgment to review and improve both engineers' and agent‑generated code.
1+ year in a technical lead, team lead, or hands‑on project management role, with a track record of mentoring and growing engineers. We are open to a strong first‑time people manager who has been a de facto lead.
Experience owning a team's delivery: setting direction, breaking down ambiguous work, holding people accountable to commitments, and driving projects to done.
Demonstrated ability to design solutions with AI development tools and coding assistants, and to raise a team's standard for reviewing agent‑generated work.
Strong experience across our stack: Python, React, and TypeScript, plus databases, caching strategies, UNIX development tools, and deploying to AWS or other cloud infrastructure.
Readiness to own the people work of a lead: performing reviews, interviewing and evaluating candidates, and developing careers.
A track record of turning recurring problems into owned, shared solutions, and of managing projects cross‑functionally to deadline in a fast‑paced environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication, with a proven ability to inspire and mentor engineers across experience levels.
