Technical Lead

Responsibilities

• Own delivery
• Own the end-to-end technical delivery of your team’s roadmap — from breaking down an epic into sequenced, atomic units of work through to production release.
• Partner with the Product Manager and Engineering Manager to shape scope, sequence work realistically and say no to the things that will not fit.
• Run sprint-level execution: identify risk early, surface and clear blockers, and keep commitments honest and predictable.
• Be the single technical point of accountability when a release slips, a migration goes sideways or a customer escalation lands on the team.
• Drive production health for your services — SLOs, on-call quality, alert hygiene, and root-cause follow-through rather than repeat firefighting.
• Set technical direction
• Own the architecture of your domain: service boundaries, data models, event contracts and integration patterns, aligned with the FourKites North Star architecture.
• Write and review design documents; make the calls that need making and document the trade-offs behind them.
• Evaluate frameworks, tools and third-party/partner APIs; decide what we build, what we buy and what we integrate.
