Team Lead Engineer

Quick Facts

• You’ll lead the Sensor team while remaining hands-on in engineering.
• Start as a senior individual contributor shipping production code.
• Over the first 3–6 months, gradually take on team leadership (ceremonies, delivery, performance management, stakeholder communication).
• Long term: own technical direction of the Sensor domain while continuing to code on critical paths.
• Work involves Go microservices, eBPF/Linux/Windows low-level programming, and Helm/CI/CD.
• Ability to work from the office 2 days per week.

Description

You’ll lead the Sensor team while remaining hands-on in engineering—initially shipping production code and learning the codebase to understand the domain and challenges. Over the first 3–6 months, you’ll progressively take on team leadership responsibilities, including ceremonies, delivery, performance management, and stakeholder communication. In the long term, you’ll own the technical direction of the Sensor domain while continuing to code on critical paths.

Responsibilities

• Contribute primarily to the Go/Python codebase as a senior engineer to the microservices backend and runtime sensor (Go on Linux/Windows, container/Kubernetes integrations).
• Own the product end-to-end, including DevOps: Helm charts, CI/CD (GitHub Actions), and monitoring/alerting (Grafana/Prometheus).
• Drive architecture and design decisions across the team with first-class concerns for performance, low overhead, reliability, and security of a sensor running on customer infrastructure.
• Lead on-call rotation and production incident response for the team domain.
• Run team ceremonies, manage delivery against the roadmap, and grow team members (up to 7 engineers).
• Manage performance and wellbeing of the team.

Requirements

• 7+ years of production software engineering experience in low-level/back-end languages (willingness to ramp on Go fast).
• At least one of:
  • Low-level/systems experience: system programming for Linux/Windows with a focus on performance.
  • Deep backend experience with microservices at scale.
• Production experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP) and Kubernetes.
• DevOps experience: Helm, GitHub Actions, container runtimes, observability tooling.
• 1+ year as a tech lead or team lead with proven ability to make and defend technical decisions and grow other engineers.

Benefits

• Employment and HR support
• Benefits package
• Enjoyable work environment
