📋 Description

• Help improve core engineering practices — sprint cadence, code review standards, and release process — and set the example through your own work. • Champion quality, helping define the standards and practices that make sure what Tallo ships works and holds up. • Partner closely with your Engineering Manager so that technical direction and people and delivery priorities reinforce each other. • Champion agile, iterative ways of working grounded in a shared understanding of user goals. • Keep engineering work connected to user outcomes and product goals, not just feature delivery, so teammates understand why they’re building what they build. • Help balance cross-cutting feature work (auth, notifications, shared components) with maintenance and infrastructure work (tech debt, CI/CD, environment improvements), keeping technical priorities aligned to what feature squads need. • Design and evolve technical architecture and standards across the platform, ensuring solutions are secure, performant, scalable, and sound. • Inform build-versus-buy decisions, vendor evaluations, and long-term platform investments through hands-on technical analysis and recommendations. • Build safety and security into the platform by design, helping make sure it protects its users and their data. • Partner with product managers on roadmap priorities, sequencing, and technical feasibility. • Connect engineering effort to Tallo’s company goals of Engagement, Outcomes, and Growth, and to the metrics that track progress against them. • Identify and clear technical blockers to delivery across teams, including dependencies, requirements, and cross-team coordination. • Evaluate realistic AI and ML use cases given Tallo’s data, user base, and product goals, including matching, recommendations, career path prediction, skills inference, and content personalization.

🎯 Requirements

• Eight (8) years of related experience • Strong background in modern cloud-based architectures, DevOps practices, and distributed systems. • Track record of shipping customer-facing product capabilities, including data-driven or AI-enabled features, into production. • Experience driving quality, including the standards and practices that keep what a team ships reliable. • Ownership mindset for technology safety and security, with experience building secure systems and meeting compliance requirements, ideally for sensitive or young user populations. • Experience partnering with data and data science functions, including data architecture and analytics. • Strong technical mentorship skills, including coaching engineers, raising the technical bar, and developing others through code review and pairing. • Strong strategic thinking paired with a hands-on execution orientation. • Comfortable working directly in the codebase rather than leading from a distance. • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence across engineering, product, and leadership. • Ability to clear required background checks.
