This role is designed for strong engineers who are already confident technical leaders - people who combine deep hands-on expertise with the ability to guide, mentor, and elevate others.

You will work on a large-scale, production-grade system used by cities around the world, solving complex engineering challenges while setting technical direction and leading a team of engineers. As a Senior Team Lead, you will be accountable for both delivery and technical quality, shaping architecture, engineering standards, and team execution, while remaining meaningfully hands-on.

What You’ll Work On

• Lead & Own: Take end-to-end ownership of key domains within a complex, high-impact system, driving technical decisions, execution, and outcomes.
• Technical Leadership: Lead a team of engineers through design, implementation, and delivery, setting high standards for code quality, architecture, testing, and reliability.
• Build at Scale: Remain hands-on across a modern full-stack environment (Python, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Kubernetes), contributing directly to production systems while guiding others.
• Solve Hard Problems: Tackle non-trivial engineering challenges, influence system architecture, and continuously improve performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Grow People & Teams: Mentor and coach engineers, support career growth, and foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence.
• Innovate with AI: Apply AI-driven tools and practices to improve development velocity, reliability, and engineering effectiveness.

What We’re Looking For

• Experienced Engineering Leader: A senior engineer with 5+ years of professional experience, including proven experience leading engineers and owning complex production systems.
• **Strong Hands-On Background:**Deep experience working with modern stacks (Python, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Kubernetes) and the judgment to make pragmatic technical trade-offs.
• Technical Authority & Ownership: Comfortable setting technical direction, making architectural decisions, and being accountable for outcomes across a team or domain.
• People Leadership: Demonstrated ability to mentor, guide, and develop engineers, balancing delivery with long-term team and technical health.
• High Bar for Quality: A strong sense of engineering craftsmanship, with a track record of improving codebases, systems, and engineering practices.
