About the role
Help set technical direction for the ControlCheck team, designing work that spans multiple domains (front-end, back-end, infrastructure) over months, not sprints
Contribute to critical architectural decisions for services built on Ruby on Rails and Python FastAPI, deployed via Terraform and guide the team on architectural choices.
Make critical technical and architectural calls within the timelines the team needs.
Drive proactive de-coupling of services and application of sound microservices patterns as ControlCheck scales.
Identify and resolve the hardest technical problems in the codebase — expert-level debugging across distributed systems and complex applications
Help elevate the whole team's technical ability and execution — the goal is doubling (or more) the team's collective output, not just personal 5–10x contributions
Lead cross-team dependency management and coordinate cross-discipline efforts with Product, QA, and adjacent engineering teams while maintaining productive relationships across the organization.
Communicate large systems and technical tradeoffs clearly to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders, including in roadmap and planning conversations
Influence at the Engineering Manager level — partner closely with your EM and fellow technical leads on team execution, hiring signal, and technical roadmap and provide technical guidance across the broader engineering team, not just direct collaborators.
Mentor senior engineers and serve as an escalation point for the team's most difficult technical challenges
Maintain a "customer service" mentality toward the rest of the team — your job is to help make everyone else's work better
