## About the role

Supply chain is broken. It's the foundation of our entire economy, but it (barely) runs on a mix of home-brewed processes duct-taped to some spreadsheets and emails. As a Tech Lead Manager at LightSource, you'll be expected to wear many hats. You will be in charge of a team of senior engineers and responsible for your own work as an individual contributor.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience in software development
- 3+ years of people management experience in a startup environment
- Track record of successfully shipping products
