Job Description
Youll take an active role in the full product development lifecycle working closely with your crossfunctional team aka Quad (Tech Lead Product Designer Product Manager and Growth Product Manager) and managers serving Product to conceptualize and prioritize features and overseeing technical implementation. This role straddles the product and technical domains to align technology decisions with product strategy and vision.
This role involves working closely with a team of engineers of a variety of levels ensuring highquality code and aligning technical solutions with the companys strategic goals.
Job Responsibilities:
- Write clear maintainable code and provide thoughtful code reviews that elevate the entire team.
- Collaborate with Quad to shape solutions aimed at value delivered
- Provide technical mentorship to engineers guiding their growth both as engineers and as effective members of product teams
- Be a strong steward of the domains you oversee within the codebase across the engineering organization
- Continuously improve the technical processes within Engineering and at the critical points where Engineering integrates with other functions
- Ensure that highquality software reaches customers frequently and reliably
State the Possible. Marty Cagan is well known for saying If youre just using your engineers to code youre only getting about half their value. A big reason why to continue from Marty: Theyre working with the enabling technology every day so theyre in the best position to see whats just now possible. All members of the Quad must be a part of discovering the solutions and shaping the intended value (we call this being a Value Shaper)... stating the possible and helping ensure we are continuously learning are critical to the Quads success
Continuously Be Learning. Delivering on a project is table stakes. Breaking up a project into minimal progressable units takes the type of skill we look for! What is a Minimal Progressable Unit (MPU) Progress is defined as either: 1 adding value to the customer 2 adding clarity to stakeholders about what is possible and what is coming 3 derisking an initiative. Above all an MPU is about learning. If there is an opportunity to learn we must take advantage by being vigilant and constantly on the lookout. This means valuing effectiveness over efficiency. Efficient being we can build all of this if we stay focused in X time vs we can build this iteration in Y time... but well learn if building Z is worth it if we pause there... yes itll be more time overall but well be learning along the way.
Possible into Reality. The other three members of the Quad are dedicated to a Base. Meaning they serve multiple squads. However tech leads are dedicated to a single squad. Why Primarily because we expect the tech lead to be a deep expert in the functional area their quad is responsible for. Including the tech debt and other headwinds. These headwinds are mentioned here because they are one of the many factors that have to be addressed in the journey towards value delivered. Ultimately squads design build and are then responsible for the operations of the software. The tech lead is at the center of the responsibility: turning the dream of the possible into a reality full of highquality software that our customers love.
