What the Role Is
The Tech Lead Engineer is the senior-most individual contributor role, sitting at the intersection of hands-on engineering and technical leadership. The bar for this hire is intentionally high.
This is not a management position — this person writes code and carries a full delivery workload. But it comes with a clear expectation to drive how the team engineers software: setting technical direction, establishing the code quality bar, and actively advancing the engineering playbook.
The role carries dual accountability: deliver Traverse product features end-to-end, and co-build the agentic engineering framework that continuously raises the standard for how software gets built. AI-forward development is not a tool this person reaches for occasionally — it is the operating model for everything they build.
The Single Most Important Thing
Proactiveness. If this person has to be pulled into conversations or asked for input, the fit is wrong. They insert themselves into the team rhythm and push things forward without being asked.
