The Challenge

We're looking for an Engineering Team Lead who's as passionate about technology as they are about people. In this role, you'll shape the long-term technical direction of your team, mentor talented engineers, and guide the delivery of high-impact, scalable products that power OneTrust's global privacy and trust platform. You'll balance strategic vision with hands-on execution — designing solutions, setting priorities, and leading by example to deliver excellence at scale.

Your Mission

As an Engineering Team Lead, you will:

• Drive strategy and execution — define technical goals, prioritize initiatives, and ensure timely, high-quality delivery.

• Lead and mentor a team of engineers, fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• Design, architect, and implement enterprise-grade systems that are scalable, resilient, and secure.

• Monitor performance and reliability, proactively identifying and resolving issues across systems and processes.

• Champion DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and automation to enhance efficiency and delivery speed.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Managers, Architects, and UX to translate ideas into impactful products.

• Continuously innovate — introduce new technologies, tools, and processes to elevate engineering standards.

You Are

A strong technical leader who thrives on building both systems and teams. You combine deep engineering expertise with the ability to inspire others, make data-driven decisions, and deliver results. You're as comfortable diving into code reviews and architecture sessions as you are setting strategy and mentoring future leaders.

Your Experience Includes

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.

• +6 years of engineering experience with a proven track record delivering complex, enterprise-grade software.

• Hands-on experience leading software development teams or projects end-to-end — from planning to release.

• Strong understanding of DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, and modern cloud architectures.

• Expertise in system design, distributed systems, and architecture best practices.

• Proficiency in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a systematic, strategic approach.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels.

Extra Awesome

• Experience designing or scaling cloud-native services (Azure, AWS, or GCP).

• Proven success in driving innovation and adopting new technologies across teams.

• Passion for building large-scale, high-performance systems.

• Experience developing onboarding or mentorship programs to grow engineering talent.

• A natural facilitator who drives alignment and delivers results across diverse teams.
