As Tech Lead, you'll shape the next generation of Assist Chat, leading architecture, scalability, and cross-platform integration for real-time, AI-driven interactions. You'll partner closely with product, AI, and design to bring intuitive, voice-first interfaces to life—at scale, in production, and with mission-critical reliability.

• Mentor and unblock engineers across the team, raising the technical bar through code reviews, pair programming, and architecture discussions.

• Drive technical direction making decisions that balance velocity, quality, and safety in public safety environments.

• Shape engineering culture through pragmatic leadership and a bias for action.

• Steward the product lifecycle by ensuring its development, delivery and continued operation in production while addressing issues proactively to support its long-term success.

• You'll have room to own: technical direction, architecture, and mentoring are in your hands.

• You'll be surrounded by top-tier engineers and product leaders who care deeply about quality and impact.
