About the role
Clutch is seeking a Team Lead, Software Engineering to lead a team of engineers building and scaling our platform. This is a player-coach role: you'll split your time roughly evenly between hands-on engineering and team leadership, mentoring engineers, owning team delivery, and partnering with product to ship work that moves the business forward. You'll partner closely with other engineering leaders on technical direction and cross-team initiatives while owning the health, growth, and execution of your team.
What you'll do
- Lead a team of 3–5 engineers, owning their growth, performance, career development, and day-to-day delivery
- Stay hands-on, contributing roughly half your time to code, architecture, and technical design across the stack
- Partner with Product, Design, and Data to translate business priorities into a clear roadmap and well-scoped engineering work
- Drive execution and delivery for your team, removing blockers, managing trade-offs, and keeping work aligned with business goals
- Coach engineers through peer review, pairing, system design discussions, and regular 1:1s, raising the bar on quality across the team
- Partner with Staff Engineers and other leads on cross-team architecture, technical standards, and platform direction
- Hire, onboard, and retain great engineers as the team grows
What we're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 7+ years of industry experience building software, with at least 1–2 years leading or managing engineers
- Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, etc.) and frontend or backend frameworks (React, Vue, Express, etc.)
- Solid experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and microservices architecture
- Strong database skills with PostgreSQL or similar: schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning
- Proven track record of shipping complex projects end-to-end and balancing technical debt against new delivery
- Experience coaching and growing engineers — running 1:1s, giving feedback, supporting career development, and handling performance conversations
- Comfortable operating in Agile environments (Scrum or Kanban) using tools like Jira or GitHub Projects
- Strong communication skills and the ability to partner effectively with cross-functional stakeholders
Why you'll love it at Clutch
- Autonomy & ownership – create your own path and own your work
- Competitive compensation and equity incentives
- Generous time off program
- Health & dental benefits
Employment Type Existing, Permanent Full-Time, Hybrid
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $175,000 - $225,000
- Equity incentives
- Comprehensive healthcare, dental, vision, life insurance, and dependent coverage starting from day 1
