# Engineering Team Lead, Management Track

You are a tech lead who is ready to move toward management, or already partway there. You will lead a team of two to three other engineers, depending on the team, reporting to the Engineering Manager and working closely with the Principal Architect (who holds architecture sign-off) and the Product team. The split is roughly 25 to 50 percent hands-on development and 50 to 75 percent leading people and coordinating work. The person in this role knows the tech stack and the business well enough to make good calls, and either has people-management skills already or is clearly ready to develop them. We are hiring two people for this role. Each will take on a share of the team-facing work that currently sits with the Engineering Manager. You are serious about KATIX specifically. You have looked at the product, you understand what we are trying to do for people selling a vehicle, and you have a concrete reason to want to lead a team doing it here. We ask about this in every interview, and for this role we expect a clear answer. You have changed how a team works with AI, not only how you work. Personal productivity with AI is table stakes. For this role we want evidence at the team or org
