Tech Lead Engineer
Job Description
[AI-summarized by JobStash]
You will own and evolve the technical architecture across Rust services, Go infrastructure, and Next.js/TypeScript surfaces on Google Cloud. You will write production code in high-leverage parts of the stack, implement shared libraries and complex integrations, and deliver load-bearing changes. You will align system boundaries and interfaces across multiple pods, lead design reviews, and unblock teams on hard technical decisions. You will raise engineering standards by improving code review, testing, observability, on-call, and incident response practices. You will mentor engineers, help calibrate seniority, and translate ambiguous product goals into clear technical plans and execution sequences. You will write crisp design docs, RFCs, and post-mortems to communicate complex systems.
