The Prospect

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 Chronus
