About the role
Lead Tonal's Experiences team focused on improving member happiness through incremental improvements and new features across the trainer, mobile app, and backend, collaborating with Product, Design, Data Science and Content.
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of six engineers directly: set direction, run performance reviews, coach directly, and give hard feedback early rather than letting problems compound.
- Own delivery of the member experience roadmap with Product, Design, Data Science and Content. Ensure the team ships predictably and that what ships is high quality.
- Drive technical quality on the codebase: reliability, performance, test coverage, and release health. Decide where to invest in paying down debt versus shipping faster.
- Partner with other teams so your team gets fast feedback on their work and spends less time on coordination.
- Hire and grow the team. Define what good looks like at each level, run a fair and calibrated loop, and build a bench of engineers who can lead.
- Stay close to the work. Read a design doc critically, review a risky change, and understand the tradeoffs the team is making.
Qualifications
- You have managed software engineers directly for several years, including hiring, performance management, and technical growth.
- You have shipped consumer-facing product experiences, on mobile, embedded devices, or web, and you understand what makes them feel fast and reliable to a user.
- You have a strong engineering background and have gone deep in at least one area. You can still read and reason about code and architecture.
- You communicate clearly with Product, Design, Data Science and executives, you’ve learned how to get to ‘yes’ without overcommitting the team.
- You can hold a direct, respectful conversation with someone who is underperforming, framed around the opportunity ahead of them.
- You use AI-assisted engineering tools yourself and can tell when their output is good and when it is not.
