About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Help improve core engineering practices — sprint cadence, code review standards, and release process — and set the example through your own work.
  • Champion quality, helping define the standards and practices that make sure what Tallo ships works and holds up.
  • Partner closely with your Engineering Manager so that technical direction and people and delivery priorities reinforce each other.
  • Champion agile, iterative ways of working grounded in a shared understanding of user goals.
  • Keep engineering work connected to user outcomes and product goals, not just feature delivery, so teammates understand why they’re building what they build.
  • Help balance cross-cutting feature work (auth, notifications, shared components) with maintenance and infrastructure work (tech debt, CI/CD, environment improvements), keeping technical priorities aligned to what feature squads need.
  • Design and evolve technical architecture and standards across the platform, ensuring solutions are secure, performant, scalable, and sound.
  • Inform build-versus-buy decisions, vendor evaluations, and long-term platform investments through hands-on technical analysis and recommendations.
  • Build safety and security into the platform by design, helping make sure it protects its users and their data.
  • Partner with product managers on roadmap priorities, sequencing, and technical feasibility.
  • Connect engineering effort to Tallo’s company goals of Engagement, Outcomes, and Growth, and to the metrics that track progress against them.
  • Identify and clear technical blockers to delivery across teams, including dependencies, requirements, and cross-team coordination.
  • Evaluate realistic AI and ML use cases given Tallo’s data, user base, and product goals, including matching, recommendations, career path prediction, skills inference, and content personalization.

  • Strong technical mentorship skills, including coaching engineers, raising the technical bar, and developing others through code review and pairing.
  • Strong strategic thinking paired with a hands-on execution orientation.
