**The Opportunity**
We’re seeking an Engineering Team Lead to lead engineering efforts on our Embedded Analytics team. As an Engineering Team Lead, you will combine deep technical expertise with strong leadership and a product-driven mindset. You’ll lead a high-performing, cross-functional squad of Full Stack Application Engineers, Data Engineers, and QA Engineers to build, scale, and evolve the systems that power our customer-facing reporting and analytics features. This role bridges hands-on technical work, architectural leadership, and people development — ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, strategy, and team impact.
This role is a unique opportunity to guide the transformation of our embedded analytics into a new era of AI enabled business intelligence, providing high performing, trustworthy, and actionable reporting and analytics to our customers at a higher scale and speed than has been possible before.
**What You’ll Do**
* Lead, mentor, and grow a cross-functional engineering and data team, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and collaboration.
* Own end-to-end delivery of your squad's product area — from early involvement in product discovery and design validation through implementation, testing, deployment, and post-ship monitoring. You will own the stack, working collaboratively with systems architects to design the most effective data and analytics platform.
* Write code, review code, and architect solutions. You understand the codebase deeply enough to make informed tradeoffs and unblock your team.
* Partner with the Product team as a collaborative equal — validating technical feasibility early, pushing back when scope is unrealistic, and advocating for quality and stability as first-class priorities alongside new features.
* Balance feature work against bugs, tech debt, performance, and reliability. Work collaboratively with Product leadership to allocate engineering time towards the stability and high performance needs of our customers.
* Drive architectural decision-making, balancing innovation, scalability, and delivery speed.
* Promote engineering best practices, including clean architecture, testing, monitoring, and performance optimization.
* Help the team break work down, manage flow, and ensure design, engineering, and QA operate in parallel rather than in sequential phases.
* Champion high-quality code through design reviews, code reviews, and robust CI/CD pipelines (Docker, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes). Own the definition of "done" — tested, stable, monitored, and maintainable.
* Coach engineers on career growth, system design, and effective collaboration. Because you work alongside your team daily, feedback is immediate, specific, and grounded in real work.
* Drive AI and agentic coding tool adoption within your squad — leading by example, partnering with the Platform team on standards and guardrails, and helping your team understand how to use AI effectively while avoiding common pitfalls.
* Build an inclusive and motivated team culture centered on transparency, ownership, and impact.
* Collaborate with recruiting to attract and retain top engineering talent.
* Establish performance goals, track key metrics, and ensure operational excellence in delivery.
**What We’re Looking For**
* 5+ years of professional experience in software development and/or data engineering, with at least 2 years in a technical leadership or management capacity.
* Deep understanding of SQL, data modeling, and analytics/reporting
* Experience with cloud platforms and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
* Proven success leading technical teams and mentoring engineers of varied seniority levels.
* Experience with or strong enthusiasm for AI-assisted development tools and workflows.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical audiences.
* Strategic thinker who can connect engineering priorities to product and business outcomes.
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
_We know many women do not apply for a job if they don't perfectly fit the description. We want you to apply anyway._
**Bonus Points If You Have**
* Deep understanding of microservice architecture, RESTful API design, distributed systems, and modern frontend frameworks.
* Strong hands-on proficiency in one or more of our core technologies (Python, Java, Kotlin, TypeScript/React), with the ability and willingness to learn and work across the stack.
