ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a Staff Technical Lead Manager role, which is a flexible mix of people management and technical hands-on work, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds! We are looking for people who are passionate about product experimentation and running an experimentation platform to enable Slack to rapidly develop and release impactful features.
As a Staff TLM, you like building for the long term and value patterns and structures that allow for maximum flexibility in a constantly evolving product. You excel in leading a small team (~3-4 engineers) through mentoring them to develop into technical leaders. You set a high bar for the technical design and code quality of your org. You demonstrate outstanding ownership of not only the area of your team, but in multiple functional areas such as data pipelines, data schema governance and experimental statistics. You possess a “can do” demeanor and nothing is beneath you or outside your responsibilities because you do what it takes to deliver the highest quality code and the most impactful features.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

• Develop team governance and rituals, establish and run regular meetings
• Work with our product manager to build a vision and develop the roadmap for Experimentation at Slack.
• Mentor engineers on the team with an eye for excellence and technical leadership
• Build, maintain and supervise team health metrics and product health metrics, e.g. Houston experiment runtime, experiment reliability and metrics pipeline health.
• Ensure the team is well-staffed by hiring top talent, and using performance management to ensure engineering excellence.
• Work with stakeholders to ensure needs are met and that there is alignment between customers of Houston and the team.
• Build, maintain and ensure availability of our Experimentation platform, Houston.
• Develop product & technical specifications for impactful features and work with engineers on the team to complete projects.
