Description

  • Own the technical vision for a domain, including system boundaries, dependencies, and long-term architectural direction.
  • Partner with a Technical Product Manager to turn business problems into initiatives, projects, and high-level technical requirements.
  • Review and approve funded project approaches to ensure they fit domain systems and technical standards before development begins.
  • Coordinate cross-domain technical decisions with other Engineering Leads to avoid redundant solutions and shared system conflicts.
  • Set, maintain, and enforce Counterpart’s shared technical standards within your domain.
  • Make deliberate decisions about technical debt, refactoring, and reuse, and communicate trade-offs to leadership.
  • Write code and lead projects directly when your depth is needed, including taking on Project Lead responsibilities when appropriate.
  • Review production incidents in your domain and address underlying architectural issues rather than only fixing symptoms.
  • Mentor engineers and coach Project Leads through technical decisions and system design trade-offs.
  • Advise the VP of Engineering on Project Lead assignments and project ownership.

Requirements

  • Deep experience designing, building, and operating complex software systems.
  • Experience maintaining systems over time and improving systems you inherited.
  • Ability to operate as both an architect and an individual contributor as needed.
  • Demonstrated experience reviewing technical work from other engineers.
  • Proficiency with Python, Django, Amazon Web Services (AWS), React, and PostgreSQL.
  • Proficiency developing with AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools.
  • Experience setting technical direction across teams without direct managerial authority.
  • Domain curiosity about insurance.
  • Ability to communicate clearly across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
  • Low ego and high Emotional Quotient (EQ).
  • Experience working with distributed, remote teams.

Benefits

  • Estimated base salary of $190,000 to $240,000.
  • Base pay determined by market data, location, internal equity, and experience.
  • Welcoming and inclusive workplace.
  • Intentional focus on helping employees feel respected, supported, and connected at work.
  • Equal Opportunity Employer commitment with non-discrimination across protected characteristics.
