About the Role

We are seeking a Technical Lead Manager (TLM) to lead our CI/CD team, responsible for how engineers build, integrate, and ship code. This player-coach role involves hands-on coding (40%+), people management, and owning the team's roadmap and the reliability of critical production systems. The TLM will leverage AI coding agents to maintain low overhead and focus on development.

Responsibilities

Build and ship code hands-on, authoring and reviewing production PRs.
Own the team's technical direction, architecture, and quality bar.
Lead technical design discussions and technical planning.
Own full people management for the team, including 1:1s, career coaching, performance feedback, promotion decisions, and hiring.
Build an inclusive, high-trust team and own its health and engagement.
Mentor engineers toward Staff or a future TLM path.
Set direction and delivery for build and integration systems (GitHub, CircleCI, Artifactory, Sourcegraph, Qlty).
Ensure fast, reliable, self-service pipelines with strong documentation and low-friction adoption.
Own the release-safety toolkit (Release Guard, canaries, feature flagging, rollback) and operational discipline.
Manage incident prevention, incident response, SLAs, and blameless learning for critical systems.
Balance platform team needs against keep-the-lights-on work, security, and dependency upgrades.
Champion AI-driven velocity by using AI coding agents and tooling to scale planning, coding, and operations.
Serve as the XFN point of contact for platform capabilities.
Coordinate inbound requests and outbound dependencies.
Partner with client engineering teams and sibling platform teams on scope and delivery commitments.
Tie-break technical decisions.
Work closely with product engineering teams, security, Core Infrastructure, and other Engineering Services leaders on shared roadmaps, dependencies, and initiatives.

Requirements

5+ years of software engineering experience.
2+ years leading or managing engineers, including hiring, performance management, and career development.
Appetite and ability to stay hands-on in the codebase.
Track record of delivering CI/CD, build/release, or developer-productivity systems.
Hands-on experience with CI systems (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or comparable), build pipelines, and artifact management in production.
Strong development experience in Ruby, Go, Python, or comparable languages.
Experience with progressive and safe delivery: canaries, release gating, feature flagging, and rollback strategies.
Strong understanding of operating production systems at scale: reliability, observability, incident response, and operational discipline.
Judgment to balance delivery velocity against safety, reliability, and technical-debt realities.
Communication skills to make trade-offs clear to engineers and executives.
Demonstrated use of AI coding agents and tooling to accelerate development and team velocity, with a concrete example of impact.
Customer-obsessed mindset toward internal developers.
Excellent written and verbal communication.
Collaborative, low-ego approach to cross-team leadership.
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Argo CD, or GitOps-based deployment in production.
