Technical Support Engineer- Team Lead 4

What?

A Team Lead, which is used interchangeably with the term player / coach, is a non-management role which does not formally manage any direct reports, but acts as a guide / mentor to team members to support development and enablement. This role can as well as provide an upward path to formal management roles.

As Team Lead you will:

• Spend the majority of time performing as an IC - team lead responsibilities are in addition to your current role
• Create an inspiring team environment with an open communication culture
• Act as a proxy when the manager is on leave or when manager unavailable 
• Answer team member questions, help with team member problems, and oversee team member work for quality and guideline compliance
• Provide direction, coaching and guidance for team members
• Provide input on day-to-day operations for employees in partnership with their leader
• Take part in recruitment process 
• Act as buddy for all new hires
• Run agendas for weekly team meetings
• Identify areas for new training or skill checks
• Communicate campaign initiatives
• Provide management visibility on team performance and growth with regular reports
• Research and test new outbound methods and tools

For clarity the role will not include any of the following responsibilities: 

• Have any direct reports 
• Own responsibility for other employees’ performance  
• Have budgetary responsibility 
• Provide recommendations on comp increases or deliver performance reviews
• Conduct performance reviews or quarterly check-ins

Candidates must have:

• Have 12 months tenure and be in good standing
• Be a P4 or higher
• Have been rated “Strong” or above in their most recent performance review
• Broad understanding of  server-side code (C#, Java, Node.js, Ruby, or PHP) and client-side code (JavaScript, Android, iOS). A good understanding of OOP is necessary. Expertise with both native and mobile applications is a great bonus.
• Good knowledge of RESTful technology, previous work with APIs and ability to understand and solve issues with cloud solutions.
• Skills in troubleshooting network connectivity issues, with an understanding of TCP/UDP, and basics of SSL/TLS. Bonus: Understanding of WebRTC would be a HUGE plus.
