As the Senior Team Leader of the Accounts Team, you will lead the nerve center of our companys R&D. This team provides the essential platformic services – User Management, Authentication (SSO, SAML, OAuth), Authorization, and Notifications – that allow our product teams to focus on delivering world-class value to end-users.
You will be the guardian of our platform services, transitioning our stack from Ruby to Go, while leading a talented cross-functional team toward a culture of high performance, technical excellence, and massive impact.
What Youll Do
The Power Couple Partnership: Partner closely with a dedicated Product Manager to own the What and the How. Together, you are fully accountable for the teams roadmap, execution, and long-term vision.
Elevate the Standard: Inherit an existing team and build it into a high-performing engine. You will set the bar for what good looks like, coaching engineers, and make sure the team is pushing its limits.
Architectural Oversight: Guide the team through a critical technical area together with our architect. While you wont be coding daily, you will be in the weeds with your developers, challenging their designs, reviewing code, and ensuring the system is robust and secure.
R&D Influencer: Act as a leading voice beyond your team. You will collaborate with the Group Architect and peer TLs to ensure the Accounts platform scales with the companys vision, often serving as a consultant for other teams integration needs.
The Art of No: Manage a high volume of requests from across the organization (DevOps, CS, Product). You will use your exceptional communication skills to prioritize ruthlessly, managing expectations while maintaining strong relationships.
