More about this role
You’ll lead architecture and delivery across Tonal’s device, app, and cloud systems: turn business priorities into technical direction, own initiatives that span teams, and grow senior engineers into technical leaders. You report to engineering leadership and stay hands-on from design through production. Success means shipped outcomes, stronger systems, and teams that move faster.
Set 6–12 month technical direction across device, app, and cloud. Turn product priorities into architecture, ownership, and delivery plans.
Lead a few cross-team initiatives from problem definition to launch and adoption. Settle tradeoffs with team leads; flag priority and resource conflicts early.
Write critical-path code, build prototypes, guide migrations, and debug hard production issues. Own how your architecture decisions play out in practice.
Simplify shared systems and interfaces. Improve reliability, observability, security, and developer workflow so teams need less coordination to ship.
Mentor senior and Staff engineers through design, pairing, and shared delivery. Set up lightweight decision practices so teams can act on their own.
Use AI-assisted engineering tools where they improve delivery...
