About
The Role: We're hiring a Tech Lead Manager (Staff+) to lead a small team building the platform that is modernizing homebuilding. This is a leadership-track role for a senior engineer ready to grow their scope and impact. You'll stay hands-on as a technical leader while directly managing a team of 2–4 engineers.
The role blends deep technical ownership with people leadership. You'll set technical direction for your domain, ship production-grade code, and be accountable for the growth, output, and delivery of your team. The work spans the full stack and covers both internal tools that power construction operations and customer-facing experiences for homeowners and trades. We're a remote-first team. You'll work from wherever you do your best work, with regular offsites to get together in person. You'll own entire product areas, make real technical decisions, and work directly with engineering leadership, product, and design to take features from concept to production.
What You'll Do: Technical Leadership: Set technical direction for your domain. Contribute to architecture decisions, API contracts, and data models that shape how our systems scale and evolve. Design, build, and deliver features across the platform. You own the full lifecycle from technical design through deployment and monitoring. Stay hands-on. Write and deploy high-quality, production-grade code on a regular basis. Raise the bar across engineering. Review designs, improve developer experience, and help other engineers work through complex problems. People Leadership: Directly manage a team of 2–4 engineers. Hold regular 1:1s, give clear and actionable feedback, and lead growth and performance conversations. Own your team's delivery. Drive planning, prioritization, and execution, and be accountable for outcomes. Coach and develop your engineers. Help them grow their skills, scope, and careers, and create the conditions for them to do their best work. Partner with product and design to translate messy, real-world processes into clean, reliable software and to make tradeoffs that balance speed and quality. Help grow
