Introduction

Streamflow is growing!

We have more engineers with different skillsets.

We need domain ownership split among team members in order to scale and accumulate expertise and experience efficiency increase from having more team members!

Lead Engineer is a product-oriented, people-focused, highly-technical engineer with managerial duties responsible for being a technical lead and making (and keeping) the engineering team happy, motivated, knowledgeable, and on track.

In layman terms, one could say that there is 50/50 split between technical (individual contributor) and people (managerial) duties in the beginning, with the expectation to increase people management duties as time passes and team size increases.

We’re looking to increase the quality and efficiency of the engineering team and overall company.
