Technical Lead Manager (TLM) at QuintoAndar:

At QuintoAndar, the Technical Lead Manager (TLM) role is designed for Senior+ Software Engineers who aspire to balance technical leadership with people management. TLMs play a critical role in defining technical strategies, driving high-quality implementation, and supporting their team members' growth and priorities. The position requires a robust technical background paired with a genuine passion for mentoring and managing people.

Unlike traditional management roles, TLMs typically oversee a smaller number of direct reports and have a more focused scope of management. However, they remain integral to the technical career path, offering opportunities to advance toward Staff+ engineering roles or transition into broader management responsibilities with a larger team and expanded leadership duties.

This role is ideal for candidates who excel in both hands-on technical work and guiding teams to achieve peak performance.

• Collaborate across teams to drive alignment, balance trade-offs, and ensure timely project delivery

Additional Expectations:

• Act as a technical reference and leader for your team.
• Contribute directly to code, code review, and architecture discussion, addressing key technical challenges.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Data teams to define and execute a winning strategy.
• Recruit and develop exceptional talent, fostering a culture of growth and excellence.

Requirements:

• Programming & Databases: Fluency in at least one programming language (e.g., Java, Kotlin) and experience with databases or search engines
• Scalable Systems: Proven ability to design, build, and maintain large, scalable systems/apps, including distributed systems and RESTful APIs.
• Best Practices: Deep understanding of software maintainability, team productivity, CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and troubleshooting.
• Experience: 5+ years in software development, delivering solutions to complex problems.
• Languages: Professional fluency in English (Portuguese is a plus).

You'll Stand Out If You Have:

• Expertise in NLP, LLMs, multi-agent applications, and agentic frameworks (Langgraph, CrewAI)
• Hands-on experience with AWS, containerization, and maintaining high-availability services.
• A history of leading cross-team collaborations, mentoring engineers, and managing complex projects.
• A proven record of building successful products or platforms for large-scale, distributed systems.
• Strong communication and people management skills, with a passion for inspiring high-performing teams
