Description
We are seeking Technical Team Leads to own quality and delivery for our application-layer products. You will guide a compact team of 3-5 engineers developing educational applications serving thousands of students.

- TeachTap: AI-driven platform animating historical personalities within a TikTok-inspired educational interface
- TeachTales: Customized, enchanting narrative experiences enhancing reading comprehension
- TrashCat: Game-based learning platform transforming education into an engaging experience
This position balances two responsibilities equally: 50% direct implementation of sophisticated features, 50% mentoring and empowering your engineers. You define quality expectations, create architectural patterns, conduct code reviews emphasizing education, and facilitate professional development. Team results are your accountability, extending beyond individual contribution.

- Implementing sophisticated features that establish technical patterns for team adoption
- Conducting PR reviews delivering comprehensive, instructional commentary
- Developing engineers through pair programming and constructive feedback
- Orchestrating technical delivery and decomposing product requirements
- Defining quality benchmarks and maintaining team adherence
What you will NOT be doing
- Handling personnel matters (recruitment, termination, performance assessments, professional development discussions)
- Building platform or infrastructure-layer systems
- Attending excessive meeting schedules
- Designing architecture divorced from hands-on execution
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 5 years of full-stack development experience
- Minimum 2 years in a technical leadership capacity (conducting code reviews, mentoring developers, defining team standards)
- Proven history delivering SaaS products to production
- Practical experience integrating AI tools into development processes
- Verifiable success elevating the capabilities of fellow engineers
