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 oversee quality and delivery for our application-level products. In this role, you will guide a compact team of 3-5 engineers as they develop educational applications serving thousands of students.
Examples of products in your portfolio:
- Athena: AI-powered video and assessment generation that produces measurable learning gains
- TeachTap: AI-driven platform bringing historical personalities to life through TikTok-style educational content
- TeachTales: Customized storytelling experiences designed to enhance reading comprehension
- TrashCat: Game-based learning platform that makes education both enjoyable and effective
This position balances two core functions: 50% hands-on development of sophisticated features, 50% mentoring and empowering your engineering team. You define quality expectations, create technical patterns, conduct code reviews with educational intent, and support engineer development. Your responsibility extends to collective team results, not solely your individual contributions.
Lean team structure, substantial ownership, minimal process overhead. Your focus is technical leadership; people management is handled separately.
What you will be doing
- Developing sophisticated features that establish technical standards for the team
- Conducting pull request reviews with comprehensive, educational commentary
- Mentoring engineers through pair programming and targeted feedback
- Organizing technical initiatives and decomposing product requirements
- Defining quality benchmarks and ensuring team adherence
What you will NOT be doing
- Handling personnel management (recruitment, termination, performance evaluations, career development discussions)
- Developing platform-level infrastructure components
- Attending excessive meetings
- Creating architecture without hands-on implementation
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 5 years of full-stack development experience
- Minimum 2 years in a leadership capacity (conducting code reviews, mentoring developers, defining team standards)
- Proven history of delivering SaaS products
- Experience integrating AI tools into development processes
- Verified ability to facilitate engineer growth and skill development
