About Us: Homebound is on a mission to make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to build a home using technology. Created by an experienced team of construction, real estate, design, and technology experts, Homebound is transforming the residential construction industry by improving the costly and inefficient process of building a home. We’ve created an entirely new way to build homes with technology powering every stage from start to finish to provide a seamless experience for our customers. Homeowners across the country can choose where they want to live, select a home plan that’s perfect for them, then personalize and buy it, all online. Homebound has raised $150M in capital from leading venture capitalists like Google, Khosla, Thrive Ventures, and we’re scaling quickly in places like Texas, Colorado and Florida. Come build your future with us. About The Role: We're hiring a Tech Lead Manager (Staff+) to lead a small team building the platform that is modernizing homebuilding. This is a leadership-track role for a senior engineer ready to grow their scope and impact. You'll stay hands-on as a technical leader while directly managing a team of 2–4 engineers. The role blends deep technical ownership with people leadership. You'll set technical direction for your domain, ship production-grade code, and be accountable for the growth, output, and delivery of your team. The work spans the full stack and covers both internal tools that power construction operations and customer-facing experiences for homeowners and trades. We're a remote-first team. You'll work from wherever you do your best work, with regular offsites to get together in person. You'll own entire product areas, make real technical decisions, and work directly with engineering leadership, product, and design to take features from concept to production. What You'll Do: Technical Leadership: - Set technical direction for your domain. Contribute to architecture decisions, API contracts, and data models that shape how our systems scale and evolve. - Design, build, and deliver features across the platform. You own the full lifecycle from technical design through deployment and monitoring. - Stay hands-on. Write and deploy high-quality, production-grade code on a regular basis. - Raise the bar across engineering. Review designs, improve developer experience, and help other engineers work through complex problems. People Leadership: - Directly manage a team of 2–4 engineers. Hold regular 1:1s, give clear and actionable feedback, and lead growth and performance conversations. - Own your team's delivery. Drive planning, prioritization, and execution, and be accountable for outcomes. - Coach and develop your engineers. Help them grow their skills, scope, and careers, and create the conditions for them to do their best work. - Partner with product and design to translate messy, real-world processes into clean, reliable software and to make tradeoffs that balance speed and quality. - Help grow the team. Recruit, interview, and raise the bar on who we hire. About You: - 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping products that land real-world impact. - Experience as a tech lead, team lead, or engineering manager. You've led projects and/or people, whether formally or informally, and prior direct management experience is a strong plus. - Built and delivered full-stack features across modern web technologies. Our stack includes TypeScript, Node, React, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and AWS. We care more about your ability to learn and build than checking every box. - Actively using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your daily workflow. You can explain how they change the way you approach problems and how you'd bring that leverage to a team. - Demonstrated leadership and ownership. Mentoring engineers, influencing technical direction, and being the person people depend on. - Designed systems that balance quick iterations with long-term reliability and maintainability. - Partnered with product, design, and non-technical stakeholders to define requirements, make tradeoffs, and deliver outcomes. Not just code. Who You Are: - You want to grow your scope and impact through leadership, both technical and people. - You care about the people on your team. Their growth, their output, and their experience. - You take ownership and seek autonomy over your work and outcomes. - You're excited to build and lead within a small, nimble, high-impact team. - You are self-directed. Comfortable prioritizing your own work and your team's with minimal oversight. - You communicate clearly and proactively. Especially in writing. - You're humble, good-natured, and bring positive energy to your tea Our Commitment: We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce.
