The Role s

Tech Leads at Univeris are senior engineers and people managers who are equally accountable for the technical quality of their team's output and the professional growth of every developer on their team. The following responsibilities apply across allroles:

• Lead, coach, and mentor developers through regular 1:1s, constructive feedback, and hands-on technical guidance
• Own performance evaluations and career development planning for direct reports
• Drive hiring and onboarding, ensuring new team members ramp effectively and integrate into the team s culture and standards
• Foster a high-trust, high-accountability team environment where engineers are empowered to do their best work

• Continuously collaborate with other Tech Leads, Development Managers, and Architecture on cross-cutting decisions
• Identify and drive opportunities to improve performance, stability, extensibility, and reusability
• Contribute to and enforce development standards and best practices across the team

We expect our Tech Leads to embed AI natively across every phase of the SDLC, and not use it as a shortcut, but as a multiplier. This means incorporating AI agents to automate and augment repeatable lifecycle phases, leveraging AI tooling for analysis, code review, development, test case generation, and documentation. It s important also to preserve the discipline and integrity of our established SDLC gates and quality controls.

Ultimately, you don t just use AI tools; you know where and when to apply them, you coach your team to do the same, and you continuously raise the bar on how AI makes your team faster, more reliable, and higher quality.
