More about this role
The Tech Lead Manager (TLM) for the Platform squad at Super Dispatch is a hybrid leadership role that combines deep technical ownership with people management. Unlike a traditional Engineering Manager role, this position requires you to be the primary technical authority for our platform infrastructure - the person who makes architecture decisions, leads incident response, and directly contributes to critical platform systems.
The Platform squad owns the foundation that all product squads build on: infrastructure (GCP, Kubernetes, CloudSQL, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch), CI/CD pipelines, observability (Datadog), identity and authentication services, security controls, and developer experience tooling. With a team of ~4-5 engineers, this role demands someone who can personally drive technical direction while growing and managing the team.
You will report to the CTO and collaborate closely with Engineering Managers across all product squads, as well as Security, Analytics, and Customer Support teams.
Your work will split roughly 60% technical leadership / 40% people management, though this will shift based on team and organizational needs.
