  • Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation that supports our production services 


As the Tech Lead, you can expect to:

  • Provide technical leadership to teammates through coaching and mentorship
  • Be responsible for technical deliverables, development timelines, and ensuring software architecture is aligned with the business and customer needs
  • Planning project scope and direction aligning with business and customer needs
  • Conduct code reviews and monitoring compliance with coding standards

  • Experience building and scaling distributed, highly-available systems
  • Informed opinions from experience about service ownership best practices, incident response and resolution, and platform resiliency
  • Solid knowledge with one systems language, and ability to code in several more (our foundational services are written in Go and we also have a Rails monolith)

  • Familiarity with best practices for application and infrastructure security
  • Strong communication and leadership skills
