We are seeking Technical Team Leads to oversee delivery and quality across our application-layer products. In this position, you will manage a compact team of 3-5 engineers responsible for developing educational applications that serve thousands of students.

This position combines individual contribution with leadership: you will spend 50% of your time implementing sophisticated features and 50% coaching and empowering your team members. Your responsibilities include defining quality standards, establishing technical patterns, conducting code reviews with an instructional focus, and supporting engineer development. You own team results, not solely your individual output.

- Implementing sophisticated features that establish technical standards for the team
- Conducting pull request reviews with comprehensive, instructional commentary
- Mentoring engineers through pair programming and targeted feedback
- Orchestrating technical execution and decomposing project requirements

- Contributing to platform-layer infrastructure initiatives
- Attending excessive meeting schedules
- Designing architecture without hands-on implementation
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 5 years of full-stack development experience

- Practical experience integrating AI tools into development processes
- Verifiable success in elevating the skills and performance of fellow engineers
