Technical 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're looking for Technical Team Leads to drive quality and delivery on our app-level products. You'll lead a small team (3-5 engineers) building educational apps used by thousands of students.
Products you might work on:
- Athena: AI-generated videos and tests delivering measurable academic outcomes
- TeachTap: AI bringing historical figures to life in a TikTok-like learning experience
- TeachTales: Personalized, magical storytelling that boosts comprehension
- TrashCat: Gamified learning making education fun and engaging
This is a player-coach role: 50% hands-on building the complex features, 50% coaching and enabling your team. You set the quality bar, establish patterns, review code with teaching-focused feedback, and help engineers grow. You're accountable for team outcomes, not just your own code.
Small team, high ownership, no bureaucracy. You lead technically; someone else handles the HR side.
What you will be doing
- Building complex features that set the pattern for your team
- Reviewing PRs with detailed, teaching-focused feedback
- Coaching engineers through pairing and feedback
- Coordinating technical work and breaking down requirements
- Setting quality standards and ensuring the team follows them
What you will NOT be doing
- Managing people (hiring, firing, performance reviews, career conversations)
- Working on platform-level infrastructure
- Sitting in endless meetings
- Pure architecture without implementation
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
