About the Role
Engineers at Kobalt own products end-to-end, from understanding customer problems and shaping technical approach through building, shipping, and operating the solution in production. As a Tech Lead, you will own and drive a major area of Kobalt's product, responsible for its technical direction and execution.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction and execution of a major Kobalt product module end-to-end.
- Develop a deep understanding of customers, workflows, and problems within your product area and use that context to shape what we build.
- Turn ambiguous product and customer problems into technical strategy, architecture, and concrete execution plans.
- Lead complex projects spanning multiple engineers, making technical decisions and tradeoffs to ship quickly without sacrificing foundations needed for scaling.
- Personally design and build critical parts of the product, from backend systems and data models to customer-facing experiences.
- Set a high technical bar through architecture, code reviews, engineering practices, and mentorship of other engineers.
- Identify and address technical and product problems before they become neatly scoped projects.
- Help shape Kobalt's broader engineering architecture and culture as product surface area and engineering team grow.
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, or equivalent experience demonstrating Staff+ level technical ownership.
- Track record of owning a substantial product or technical area end-to-end and setting its technical direction.
- Experience leading complex projects across multiple engineers and driving them from ambiguous problem through production.
- Exceptional hands-on engineering skills; you still want to spend a significant portion of your time writing and reviewing code.
- Strong product instincts and the ability to understand customer problems, make tradeoffs, and determine what should be built rather than waiting for a detailed specification.
- Comfortable operating across the stack and going wherever the hardest or highest-leverage problem requires.
- Experience as a Staff or Principal Engineer, technical lead, founding engineer, or technical founder/CTO is a plus.
Experience Level
- Staff+
Salary/Compensations
- $250k base salary + equity, with equity based on experience and scope
Benefits
- Lunch provided in-office
- 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees and dependents
- Paid time off and paid company holidays
