Team Lead - AI & Connect

We need an experienced Team Lead who has managed developers before and knows how to get things done. You'll own the delivery and day-to-day leadership of a 7-person team working across two demanding domains - AI and Connect.

Beyond managing the team, you'll be expected to lead the vision. That means staying ahead of the AI curve, identifying where the product should go next, and actively pushing for innovation - not waiting to be told. The team works with LLMs, RAG pipelines, integration infrastructure, and APIs. You need to own the technical design decisions, set the architectural direction, and ensure the team is building things the right way - not just on time.

You'll report directly to the Director of the Growth Group and work closely with Product, Architecture, and peer engineering leads.

What You'll Do
Lead and Develop Your Team - Manage a team of 7 developers across the AI and Connect domains. Run 1:1s, set clear goals, support growth, and create a culture of ownership and accountability.
Drive Delivery - Own the team's roadmap execution. Ensure features are designed well, delivered on time, and meet a high-quality bar.
Own the Architecture - Lead system and feature design end-to-end. Define the architectural approach, review technical designs, and make sure the team builds solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with the platform's direction.
Champion AI Innovation - Stay sharp on the latest in LLMs, RAG, and AI tooling. Help the team identify opportunities to push the product forward and maintain our competitive edge.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally - Work closely with Product Managers, other TLs, and stakeholders to align priorities and turn vision into execution.
Raise the Bar - Establish and enforce engineering best practices: code quality, automated testing, CI/CD, and microservices design principles.
Recruit When Needed - Participate in hiring as team needs evolve, and help onboard new team members effectively.
