About TeamBridge:
More than 60% of workers in the US (and 70% of workers in the world) are paid hourly, and the businesses that employ them each have their own unique processes and workflows when it comes to managing their workforce. Unfortunately, the workforce management tools that have historically been available to them are some combination of rigid, outdated, or not built for an on-the-go workforce.
TeamBridge is the world's first flexible workforce management platform-it's fully composable and built mobile-first, making it easy for companies to mold TeamBridge to the unique shape of their business. TeamBridge is powered by modular, no-code blocks that can be combined to automate any task or process that comes with managing a large workforce, such as hiring and onboarding, or time tracking and scheduling.
With a $28M Series B raised in 2024, TeamBridge is funded by General Catalyst, Mayfield and industry leading angel investors as we build flexible, efficient, and intuitive solutions for complex workforce challenges. Based in San Francisco, TeamBridge is committed to redefining the industries we partner with.
About the Candidate:
We are seeking a Technical Lead Manager (TLM) to lead and support a high-performing pod of engineers. This role is designed for an experienced engineer with some formal TLM experience or engineering manager experience. You thrive in both technical execution and leadership, enjoying a hands-on approach while leading in an environment that blends both seamlessly. In the first six months, the TLM will balance hands-on coding with managing the team, gradually transitioning into a full-time people management role. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys mentoring engineers, driving technical excellence, and scaling impactful teams.
