Descripción del empleo

We are looking for a Senior Technical Lead Manager (Sr. TLM) to lead the engineering team responsible for ThoughtSpot’s Liveboard team, our flagship interactive analytics experience.

Liveboards power the core of how users consume insights: real-time visualisations, drill-downs, interactive queries, KPIs, AI-assisted recommendations, and collaborative actions. You will drive the technical roadmap, mentor engineers, and deliver a scalable, performant, and intuitive analytics experience for thousands of enterprise users.

This is a hands-on leadership role: ~60% technical contribution (architecture, design reviews, prototyping, performance tuning) and ~40% people leadership (coaching, execution, quality, cross-functional collaboration).

What you will do

Technical Leadership

• Own the architecture, scalability, and performance of the Liveboard platform, front-end, service layer, and query integration.
• Lead design reviews, drive engineering best practices, and ensure high-quality, maintainable code.
• Partner closely with Product to define the technical vision for Liveboard interactivity, performance optimisations, caching, personalisation, and AI-driven insights.
• Guide the team through complex refactors and migrations (e.g., visualisation library updates, Liveboard metadata changes, caching strategies).
• Drive observability, reliability, SLO/SLA definitions, and performance instrumentation for Liveboard usage patterns.
• Collaborate with AI/LLM teams to integrate intelligent insight generation, natural language interactions, and smart recommendations.

Execution & Delivery

• Lead a team of engineers in delivering capabilities across multiple releases with predictable, high-quality execution.
• Break down ambiguous feature requirements into technical plans, milestones, and deliverable work-streams.
• Improve iteration velocity through better tooling, CI/CD, testing automation, and standardisation.
• Work closely with SRE to ensure smooth releases, on-call quality, incident analysis, and reliability improvements.
• Mentor, coach, and grow engineers; support career development through feedback, performance discussions, and empowerment.
• Create a high-performing engineering culture anchored on ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Partner with cross-functional leaders (Product, Design, QA, SRE, Customer Success) to align priorities and remove execution blockers.

What you will bring

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 2–4 years in a technical leadership/management role.
• Solid backend/service fundamentals with experience in distributed systems, REST/GraphQL, caching, and performance patterns.
• Deep experience building complex data/analytics products or consumer-grade interactive UIs.
• Ability to lead architecture discussions, make technical decisions, and balance short-term vs. long-term trade-offs.
• Proven track record of mentoring engineers, driving execution, and leading teams through technical complexity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with analytics, BI, or data visualisation products.
• Background integrating AI/LLM-based features or building intelligent UX workflows.
• Familiarity with Highcharts, D3, or custom charting libraries.
• Experience driving reliability, monitoring, and performance optimization in large-scale SaaS.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced product organization with cross-functional influence.
