More about this role
As an AI Tech Lead Manager / Engineering Manager you’ll lead a small team of engineers while staying deeply hands-on in the code. You’ll report directly to the Director of Engineering, owning both the technical direction of your team and the growth of the people on it.
This is not a role where you hand off the hard problems. We expect you to hold the same technical bar as our senior engineers - roughly half of your week will go into writing and reviewing production code. The other half goes into hiring, developing people, setting direction, and deciding what good looks like.
You’ll start by leading a team of 3-5 engineers who own our agentic automation in carrier expansion, and you’ll work with leadership over time to expand that scope.
This is an in-person role based in San Francisco, with the expectation of being in the office 4+ days per week.
- Set the technical direction for your team.
- Grow the engineers on your team by setting clear expectations, running one-on-ones, writing performance reviews, and giving direct feedback early rather than late.
- Define what good looks like on your team, and address it when the work falls short.
- Own the reliability of what your team...
