Technical Lead

About the role

This is a full ownership, hands on technical role. You own a small, exceptional team and take end-to-end ownership of a core product domain - from architecture decisions to shipping to on-call. You will manage 2–3 engineers today and grow the team as the domain scales.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end ownership of a core product domain: architecture, implementation, and reliability
• Technical direction: make meaningful architectural calls, document them, and defend them
• Quality bar: code review standards, testing discipline, and engineering norms for your team
• Shipping velocity: keep a small team unblocked, focused, and moving at a pace that compounds
• Team growth: hire 3-5 engineers under you over the next 12 months and make them better
• Cross-functional partnership: work directly with product, research, and clinical teams — no layers

Requirements

• You have built things that mattered: as a founder, founding engineer, or first technical hire at a company that shipped real product to real users
• You have owned backend systems under production load: not just contributed to them
• You are ready to lead a small team and grow into owning an engineering org : you have led people in some capacity (even informally) and made them better
• You communicate with high clarity: in PRs, OKRs, architecture docs, and direct conversation
• You thrive in ambiguity: you define the problem before you solve it, and you do not need a perfect spec to start

Qualifications

• Experience in AI SaaS
• Hands-on work with LLMs, ASR, or real-time audio/NLP pipelines
• Comfort building at the infrastructure-product boundary (not just pure backend or pure ML)
• Previous founding engineer or early employee experience (sub-20 headcount)

Skills

• TypeScript
