As a Tech Lead Manager at LightSource, you'll be expected to wear many hats. You will be in charge of a team of senior engineers and responsible for your own work as an individual contributor.

As a manager, you'll be coordinating resources, driving planning and execution, and promoting technical excellence throughout the org.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
