Coach junior engineers and work closely with senior engineers to raise technical quality, development speed, and engineering consistency across the squad.
Proven experience as a Tech Lead or equivalent technical leader, with ownership of a team's delivery outcomes and engineering standards.
Strong track record of leading from the front line, including writing design documents, reviewing pull requests and architecture decisions, and solving complex technical challenges hands‐on.
Experience establishing a team's engineering practices and ways of working from the ground up, with a pragmatic approach to balancing speed, quality, reliability, and resilience.
Experience taking an early‐stage or basic service and evolving it into a robust, scalable production system is a strong plus.
Comfortable working in a remote‐first, fast‐moving environment where autonomy, ownership, and pragmatic decision‐making are highly valued.
