About the role

Tech Lead Manager role at Databricks London leading a small team of approximately five engineers within the Lakebase initiative, combining hands-on technical leadership with people management, focused on architecture, design, and delivery across Lakebase Platform Reliability, Lakebase Proxy, or Lakebase Storage.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a small team of 5-6 engineers, owning execution and on-time, high-quality delivery.
  • Stay hands-on: drive architecture and design, and write code on the hardest parts of your team's projects.
  • Set and uphold high technical standards through architecture reviews, testing, and a culture of engineering excellence.
  • Grow the engineers on your team with clear feedback and career development.
  • Align with partner teams on dependencies and unblock cross-cutting projects across the Lakebase stack.
  • Partner with engineering and product leadership to shape and deliver a long-term roadmap.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of engineering experience, including time as a tech lead or senior engineer, driving projects end-to-end.
  • Strong hands-on technical depth: you still design systems and write code, and can go deep on architecture for large-scale distributed services.
  • Experience with large-scale distributed services and the processes around testing, monitoring, and SLAs.
  • People management, or at least tech lead experience, is a must — you're ready to take on direct reports and lead them.
  • Ability to align multiple stakeholders on competing priorities.
  • Able to balance short-term delivery against long-term stability.
  • BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.
