Lead Engineer

Responsibilities

• Build robust, well-designed and effective software that solves complex problems.
• Test, review and deploy code quickly. Our team is exceptional and we TDD most changes, so we don’t slow ourselves down with excessive release processes or meetings. We deploy over 5 times per day and manage major releases with feature flags rather than coordinated deployments.
• Research, learn and share new techniques for solving complex engineering problems. We’re a highly collaborative team and we push each other to find better solutions every day.
• Write tools and develop practices for the engineering team. From GraphQL-to-Typescript compilers to fully automated deployments, we take the time to invest heavily in our own productivity.
• Own projects from end-to-end. On a given day you might be building a system to measure search engine performance, reworking an integration with a telephony provider, or designing a UI component library.
• Analyze and design solutions to business problems. No one wants to work at a company that throws solutions over the wall to engineers. At Tegus, you’ll be fully involved in determining what to do, not just doing it.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of experience as a generalist working on both the frontend, backend, and anything it takes to solve problems and delight users both internally and externally.
• Experience with Python, Ruby on Rails, Vue or Typescript is a plus but not at all required.
• Experience with Elastic or other search technologies.
• Familiarity with Agile software development processes and software testing.
• Ability and desire to work in an open and team-oriented environment.

Benefits & Perks

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans. 
• 401K plan with an employer match.
• Paid parental leave for all parents.
• Unlimited paid vacation, flexible work hours, and 10 observed paid holidays per year.
• Employer funded long-term disability.
• Award-winning culture with regular team-wide events designed to foster connections and promote creativity.
• Generous employee referral bonus program.
• The opportunity to attend peer-nominated quarterly DEI events.
• Working for a thriving, performance-based company that values promoting from within, career advancement and transparency.
• Work from our state of the art office in the heart of Chicago’s Loop featuring standing desks, nursing parent rooms, gender neutral bathrooms, subsidized gym access, and full amenity floor.
• Commuter benefits & a fully stocked kitchen with rotating snacks and beverages.
