[Hiring] Engineering Team Lead @AWeber

Role Description

We're currently hiring for remote team members in the following states: DC, DE, GA, MA, MD, NC, NH, NJ, OH, PA, SC, UT, and VA.

At AWeber, agentic development is core to how we build. Our engineers spend most of their time designing agents and agentic engineering systems, reviewing agent‑generated work for quality and correctness, and coordinating that work across the codebase. As an Engineering Team Lead, you build a small team of engineers who do exactly that into a high‑performing, healthy, well‑functioning group, and you lead them from inside the work.

This is a player‑coach role. You run 1:1s, grow careers, own hiring and reviews for your team, and own its delivery and quality bar. You also stay hands‑on: designing solutions, reviewing agent output on the risky paths, and shipping the hard parts yourself. Your mission is to help a capable, curious group ship work the org can trust, move quickly without cutting corners, and consistently finish what they start.

On any given day, you could be found:

• Reviewing an agent‑generated pull request on a risky path and coaching the engineer on how they verified it.
• Running a 1:1 that turns someone's recurring frustration into an owned initiative.
• Interviewing a candidate and sharpening how your team evaluates new hires.
• Pairing for an hour to unblock a stalled migration.
• Deciding what comes off the plate so your team is not underwater.
• Carrying your team's priorities into a cross‑team engineering forum.

You'll thrive as an Engineering Team Lead if you:

• Lead from inside the work, stay hands‑on in the code, and measure success by your team's output and growth rather than your own.
• Have a bias to action, turning recurring problems into owned, dated, shipped solutions instead of letting good ideas recirculate.
• Treat verification and trust as the real throughput limit in an AI‑first org, and hold the line on quality without stalling momentum.
• Make people decisions and difficult trade‑offs with care, and own the outcomes.
• Establish standards and inspire others, not just through your own expertise but through mentorship and advocacy.
• Default to open, transparent communication, and adapt your message to engineers, peers, product partners, and leadership.
• Stay calm and steady when priorities compete, and keep your team oriented on what matters most.
• Stay a forever learner, and grow the people around you.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in hands‑on software engineering roles, with real depth on the backend (Python) or the front end (React, TypeScript, or modern JavaScript frameworks).
• 1+ year in a technical lead, team lead, or hands‑on project management role, with a track record of mentoring and growing engineers.
• Experience owning a team's delivery: setting direction, breaking down ambiguous work, holding people accountable to commitments, and driving projects to done.
• Demonstrated ability to design solutions with AI development tools and coding assistants.
• Strong experience across our stack: Python, React, and TypeScript, plus databases, caching strategies, UNIX development tools, and deploying to AWS or other cloud infrastructure.
• Readiness to own the people work of a lead: performing reviews, interviewing and evaluating candidates, and developing careers.
• A track record of turning recurring problems into owned, shared solutions, and of managing projects cross‑functionally to deadline in a fast‑paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with a proven ability to inspire and mentor engineers across experience levels.

Requirements

• Experience leading delivery in a high‑volume agentic or AI‑assisted codebase.
• Experience in a remote‑first, asynchronous engineering culture.
• Background in one of our domains: email or marketing SaaS, web platforms, backend services, or front‑end at scale.
• Familiarity with application monitoring, metrics, performance tuning, and scaling web applications.
• Experience with vendor relationship management for software, services, or external consultants.
• A record of developing others' AI and agentic capability through working sessions, documentation, or reusable patterns.
• Experience running a team through a migration or platform shift without stalling delivery.

Benefits

• 100% Remote - we're not going back to the office.
• Strong culture that supports flexibility, entrepreneurialism, and collaboration.
• 100% Company Paid PPO medical, dental, vision insurance (spousal and domestic partner benefits available).
• 4-7 weeks of paid time off and holidays (based on tenure).
• 4 week paid sabbatical (based on tenure).
• 401K retirement plan with 4% company match.
• Company Profit Share.
• Home office equipment and internet stipend.
• Tuition reimbursement, conferences, and learning opportunities.
• Gym Memberships Reimbursement.
• Company Paid Short Term Disability Insurance.
• Company Paid Life Insurance.
• Additional Supplemental Benefits (Long Term Disability, Critical Illness, and Additional Life Insurance).
