Tech Lead (.NET — AI-Powered Video Platform

Own outcomes, not just tickets

• Lead a squad of 2–4 engineers (mix of senior/junior) to deliver measurable product impact
• Set clear goals and success metrics (e.g., latency/reliability/adoption), break work into small, reversible slices, and ship on a steady cadence

Design and build production systems

• Architect and implement .NET services/APIs with SQL Server for a multi‑tenant B2B SaaS platform
• Make pragmatic trade‑offs: idempotent writes, rate limiting, caching/ETag, indexing and query shaping, back‑pressure, and failure‑mode handling

Operate what you build

• Instrument services with logs/metrics/traces; hold the line on p95/p99 performance and availability SLOs
• Run incident reviews that produce systemic fixes and documentation (runbooks, dashboards)

Prioritise for the business

• Partner with PM/Design/Customer teams to translate goals into scope; cut or resequence work when data changes
• Keep stakeholders aligned with concise updates, risks, and owner/dates

Create clarity and accountability

• Set explicit expectations with your reports; give direct feedback; follow through with support and check‑ins
• Use lightweight mechanisms—PR templates, decision records, checklists — to make accountability routine

Grow people and the codebase

• Mentor engineers via pairing, reviews, and 1:1s; create growth plans and celebrate momentum.
• Keep standards high: tests where they matter, clear interfaces, and intentional debt management.

Leverage AI effectively

• Use AI assistants to accelerate boilerplate and documentation, and verify outputs with tests and metrics.
• Help the team adopt safe practices (no secrets, anonymised data, prompt discipline, simple evals).

Collaborate across the product suite

• Work with the iOS/Android/Web SDK teams to ensure that backend APIs and contracts are stable, well-documented, and easy to integrate.
• Support enterprise client integrations (often in sport), balancing reliability with delivery speed.

Hire and onboard

• Contribute to interviews and rubrics; onboard new teammates with clear goals, docs, and a first‑week win.
