We are looking for a hands-on Tech Lead with a strong background in SaaS

platforms and mobile application development, who will own the technical

direction of one of our product teams (Team Loopym or Team Knightriders) within

Company OS. This role owns the overall health of the codebase, drives

engineering excellence, and ensures high standards in quality, security, and

performance. You will lead by example, writing code, guiding architecture, and

mentoring engineers, while integrating modern tooling, including AI/automation

agents, to improve development velocity and product reliability. You can

articulate why each agile practice exists, when it's the right tool, and when

it isn't, we hire judgment, not certifications. Our tech leads are a healthy

blend of eternal idealism and pragmatism, who have a track record of making

good judgement decisions based on data.

generation, testing, monitoring).

Evaluate and integrate tools that improve developer productivity and software

quality.

Establish guardrails for safe and effective use of automation/AI in development

workflows.

Run evals on agent output so we can tell when an agent-owned workflow is

regressing.

Implement robust testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end, automated

testing).

Ensure CI/CD pipelines enforce quality gates before deployment 5. Security

You've used AI coding agents, skills in an orchestrated

agentic ecosystem on production code and can describe what they're good at,

what they're not, and how you measured their output, and guardrails you can

place to protect quality.
