We're looking for a (Senior) Tech Lead Manager to set the technical direction for our Marketplace team and lead the engineers who build it. We launched the Propel Marketplace to connect our ~5M monthly active users to products, services, and exclusive offers from leading brands across grocery and retail, healthcare, telecoms, financial services, and auto via the Propel app. As the product scales, the systems underneath it have to keep up, and you'll own that.
This is a player-coach role, and the technical work comes first. Our ideal candidate can easily take on a staff engineer project with no support. You'll design and build the architecture that lets Marketplace reach its goals, lead design review, and decide with product, design, and data what we build and what we leave alone. You'll also manage 3-5 engineers across multiple sub-teams: setting goals, giving direct feedback, running performance evaluations, and helping them grow. You'll own onboarding for new engineers and keep improving it.
You'll do well here if you're empathetic, a clear communicator, a skilled facilitator, and someone who likes building a team. We want you to help us hire, build, and develop a diverse engineering team as we grow.
Propel is a for-profit software company that holds its social mission at its core. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, the Omidyar Network, Kevin Durant, Serena Williams, and Nas.
We are strongly committed to hiring a diverse and multicultural team. We encourage applications from traditionally under-represented backgrounds, including those with direct experience with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Set technical vision for the marketplace team and build a system that serves helpful offers to our users efficiently and effectively
Manage and coach 3-5 reports across multiple sub-teams and help them advance in their careers
Develop team level processes to foster consistency and collaboration in our remote-first company culture
Help sustain efficient cross functional collaboration between engineering, product, design, and data and be an advocate for change in the system when necessary
Ensure smooth onboarding for new engineers and help a growing team iterate on the process
10+ years of experience designing and developing web or mobile applications especially ad tech or consumer products
2+ years of experience managing engineers of various levels in a start-up remote first environment
