Tech Lead / Engineering Manager

Your ability to quickly learn about the product, business, and technology is your superpower. You crave growth and learning, but also have the experience to guide and accelerate the growth of others. You’ll own execution of complex features that your team builds, setting technical direction, mentoring engineers, and ensuring your team is delivering high-quality, scalable, and reliable systems. In parallel, you won't shy from getting hands on and making technical contributions yourself. You’ll lead by example- building APIs that other engineers can use to solve customer problems, shaping architectural decisions, and ensuring Common Room’s core internal capabilities, infrastructure, and systems continue to serve the needs of our customers and our team. You’ll be a bridge between engineering, product, and other stakeholders, keeping us one step ahead of the product roadmap. Outside of technical work, you’ll participate in important company-building initiatives (from hiring and onboarding to improving processes) that a fast-growing startup needs to scale successfully. You would enjoy being a member of our team if you have 6+ years of professional experience as a software engineer, with at least 2+ years in a tech lead or people management capacity. You should also feel at home with AWS, Postgres, and Node.js (TypeScript experience a plus).
