About this role

  • We’re looking for a Tech Lead to own the technical direction of the Signals engineering team and drive the next phase of the product forward
  • This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll set the technical vision, make architecture decisions, and write code — while also unblocking your team, raising the engineering bar, and working directly with product, data, and revenue stakeholders to shape what gets built
  • You’ll lead a small, high-output team of engineers and QA, and be the person accountable for the quality, reliability, and velocity of everything the Signals team ships
  • You’ll be responsible for production-grade systems that customers and internal teams depend on daily. That means being responsive, reliable, and an excellent communicator — both when things are going well and especially when they’re not
  • Own the technical direction of the Signals platform — architecture, system design, tech debt strategy, and engineering standards
  • Lead a team of engineers and QA — set priorities, unblock work, conduct code reviews, and drive execution
  • Stay hands-on: you’re writing code, shipping features, and debugging production issues alongside your team
  • Work directly with product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into a technical roadmap
  • Make the calls on build vs. buy, tradeoffs between speed and quality, and when to invest in infrastructure vs. features
  • Own production reliability — you’re the first person who cares when something breaks, and you drive the team to fix it fast and prevent it from happening again
  • Raise the bar for the engineering team through mentorship, tooling improvements, and establishing best practices
  • Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier for yourself and your team — and push the team to adopt AI-native workflows that accelerate output

  • Flexible vacation
  • Generous 401K match
