THE CHANCE
Chronus is the market leader in enterprise mentoring and connection software,
trusted by Fortune 500 companies worldwide. Under new leadership and backed by
private-equity investment, we are expanding beyond mentoring into a broader
platform for how organizations develop, engage, and retain their people.
We are an AI-native engineering organization — coding agents, automated review,
and machine-assisted design are core to how we ship, not a side experiment. You
will join a small, seasoned team of engineers with deep technical backgrounds, a
high bar, and the autonomy to move fast. We are looking for a Tech Lead to be
the technical anchor among them.
This is a hands-on individual-contributor role: you lead through architecture,
code, design review, and influence rather than through direct reports — the
person the team reasons with when a design is hard, a system is slow, or the
path forward is unclear. It is built to grow, with a natural path into a
Principal Engineer or Architect role as your scope expands. Required experience
7-10 years.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
System Design & Technical Direction
* Own the high- and low-level design of complex initiatives — from system
architecture down to component and data-model detail — with security, scale,
and cost-effectiveness in mind.
* Set the technical direction: the build-vs-buy, schema, and service-boundary
calls, documented clearly enough that the team moves fast behind you.
* Run design reviews that raise the bar — pushing back on accidental complexity
and favoring evolution over rewrites.
Hands-On Delivery
* Stay in the code: write production code and own the hardest parts of the most
important work.
* Proactively review pull requests to hold design and code quality to a high
bar across the team.
* Own performance and reliability — profile, fix the real bottleneck, and carry
the production workloads and incidents that follow.
AI-Native Engineering
* Build software that writes software — extend Chr
