This role is intended for a senior technical leader who can stay close to code, design, delivery risks, production issues, and engineering quality while also guiding other engineers.\nThis is not a formal people management role. Engineering Managers will own people management, hiring, performance feedback, capacity planning, and team structure. Product / Delivery Managers will own business intake, prioritization, backlog readiness, user communication, and UAT coordination. The Product Group Team Lead / Architect will own technical design, architecture decisions, engineering quality, implementation approach, technical mentoring, and L3 technical escalation for the assigned product group.\nThe right candidate should be comfortable working in a practical, execution-focused environment where systems are business-critical, some platforms are legacy, and engineering ownership is being formalized as part of the new GEO operating model.\nAssigned Product Group:\nThis role may be assigned to one of the following product groups or internal software platform areas:\nSourceCore\nNLP\nMobile App / Computer Vision\nLegacy PHP\nOther internal business platforms as needed\nThe core responsibilities of the role remain the same across product groups, but the technical stack, business context, users, delivery priorities, and production risks will vary by assignment.\nProduct Group Focus Areas:\nDepending on assignment, the role may focus on one or more of the following areas:\nSourceCore: Core business platform, enterprise workflows, integrations, SQL Server-backed systems, production stability, scalability, maintainability, and business process support.\nNLP: Text processing, data pipelines, model evaluation workflows, taxonomy support, internal AI-assisted tools, training / evaluation datasets, and integration of NLP capabilities into business workflows.\nMobile App / Computer Vision: Warehouse mobile workflows, mobile application architecture, image capture, computer vision model integration, user feedback loops, UAT support, and field / warehouse usability.\nLegacy PHP: Maintenance, stabilization, modernization planning, integration cleanup, technical debt reduction, security improvements, and safe transition of legacy functionality where needed.\nInsight on Your Impact:\nIn this role, you will:\nOwn the technical direction, architecture, and engineering quality for an assigned product group or internal software platform.\nLead technical design discussions, architecture reviews, work breakdown, implementation planning, and technical sequencing for the assigned product group.\nStay hands-on in code, design, troubleshooting, technical reviews, and production problem solving.\nPartner with Product / Delivery Managers to translate business priorities and backlog items into practical technical plans.\nPartner with Engineering Managers to identify capacity needs, delivery risks, technical skill gaps, and team-level blockers.\nProvide technical estimates, implementation options, dependency analysis, and risk assessment for planned work.\nReview critical code changes and enforce code quality, maintainability, testability, documentation, and engineering standards.\nMentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, technical coaching, and hands-on problem solving.\nOwn L3 technical escalation for assigned systems, including investigation of complex defects, production issues, and urgent business-impacting problems.\nLead technical root cause analysis after production incidents and define practical remediation actions.\nIdentify technical debt, architectural weaknesses, single points of failure, and maintainability risks.\nPropose pragmatic modernization, refactoring, stabilization, or remediation plans without creating unnecessary disruption to business operations.\nEnsure technical decisions are documented clearly enough for future maintenance and knowledge transfer.\nHelp define release readiness expectations together with QA, DevOps, DBA, Infrastructure, Security, Product / Delivery, and Engineering Management.\nSupport onboarding of new engineers into the assigned product group by explaining architecture, codebase structure, standards, risks, and system behavior.\nPromote consistent engineering practices across GEO while still respecting the practical needs of the assigned product group.\nYour Qualifications, Your

maintainability concerns in the assigned product group.\nDefine or improve technical ownership boundaries for the assigned systems.\nImprove technical clarity of the active backlog by helping with design notes, technical breakdown, dependencies, estimates, and risks.\nEstablish practical code review, design review, documentation, and release readiness expectations for the assigned product group.\nLead at least one meaningful technical improvement, stabilization effort, or risk-reduction activity.\nImprove L3 technical escalation and production issue investigation for assigned systems.\nCreate an initial technical roadmap or remediation plan aligned with product priorities and engineering capacity.\nHelp onboard or mentor engineers working in the assigned product group.\nWhat This Role Does Not Own:\nThis role does not own formal people management for engineers. Engineering Managers remain responsible for hiring, performance management, compensation input, team structure, and capacity planning.\nThis role does not own business prioritization or user acceptance. Product / Delivery Managers and business stakeholders remain responsible for intake, priority alignment, backlog readiness, UAT coordination, and business acceptance.\nThis role does not independently commit delivery dates without alignment with Engineering Managers and Product / Delivery Managers.\nThis role does not act as a central enterprise architect for all Sourceability systems unless specifically assigned by GEO leadership.
