About the role

  • Define and drive a coherent technical roadmap aligned with Product strategy; make build/buy/deprecate decisions to control complexity and cost-efficiency
  • Own development velocity and quality: establish coding standards, testing strategy, CI/CD, and release practices with clear SLAs/SLOs
  • Lead architecture/design reviews; de-risk initiatives through RFCs, spikes, and measurable milestones
  • Write production-grade code (e.g., core services, performance fixes, developer tooling) ~30–50% of your time
  • Mentor and level-up engineers in your function as a line manager for the tech team; institute feedback loops, pairing, and growth plans
  • Champion observability, security, and reliability as well as compliance: logging/metrics/tracing, threat modeling, incident playbooks, postmortems
  • Partner with Product on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs; ensure ticket quality and tight feedback cycles
  • Improve data practices: schemas, migrations, performance, and privacy-by-design
  • Support hiring, onboarding, and vendor/tool selection; manage engineering budget levers tied to throughput
  • Participate in developer oversight, performance management, and discipline

Requirements

  • 8+ years building production software, including 3+ in a technical leadership role (team/tech lead, staff/principal, or head of eng)
  • You are a conflict mediator, a coach and a team player with experience in leading and growing teams
  • Hands-on expertise with AWS, along with most of the TMH tech stack: Node.js, Typescript, Python, Rust
  • Strong coding ability in at least two TMH languages, plus fluency with modern dev tooling (Git, CI/CD, containers, IaC)
  • Proven track record shipping complex services at pace with high reliability (cloud-native, APIs, data pipelines, or similar)
  • Deep experience with testing strategies (unit/integration/e2e), code review discipline, and continuous delivery
  • Demonstrated architectural judgment and ability to pay down tech debt without stalling delivery
  • Clear communicator who partners effectively with Product, Design, and GTM
  • Resident of United States or Canada

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation, including $200k+ salary, bonuses and stock options, 22 days PTO, health benefits and more (offer details contingent on skills, qualifications, experience, and location)
  • Growth opportunity – exposure to cutting-edge projects, international partners, and senior leaders
  • Team building – company-wide retreat 2x a year + annual team off-sites
  • Open feedback culture – we want to grow as people and help each other do the same
  • Learning opportunities – this is a burgeoning industry; you’ll gain new knowledge and skills every day
  • Diversity – our small, multi-cultural team is passionate about The Mobility House’s mission
