📋 Description

• 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.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 6+ years of professional experience as a software engineer, with at least 2+ years in a tech lead or people management capacity. • Can operate independently, but know when to involve others to get the best outcome. • Are excited by and capable of owning large, complex projects (primarily in the backend domain) while ensuring your team is unblocked and productive. • Collaborate effectively with engineers across the stack, as well as with product, design, and other cross-functional partners. • Have strong judgment on tradeoffs, tools, and architecture- focusing on supported, stable technologies over trends for their own sake. • Use customer problems as input to system design and value creating simple, elegant solutions. • Consider observability, SLA, and scalability implications in design decisions, while avoiding premature optimization. • Feel at home with AWS, Postgres, and Node.js (TypeScript experience a plus). • Provide mentorship, code reviews, and technical guidance to help engineers grow in their craft. • Build sustainably and help your team manage priorities and scope to meet deadlines without burnout. • Bring your authentic self to work, give and receive candid feedback, and foster a psychologically safe environment. • Take pride, ownership, and accountability in both your work and your team’s work.
