Clarity AI is looking for an **Engineering Data **Team Leader** for a Data team.
- Our Team Leaders have both the technical experience to work across multiple systems as well as great communication skills.
- They represent their own team externally, coordinating with other teams and stakeholders. They are the preferred point of contact and collaborate tightly with their product manager.
- They help ensure the product team is focused and delivering incremental value, by managing priorities and controlling WIP
- They are responsible for managing engineers across a team, guiding and supporting their growth.
- They ensure there are the right technical skills and capacity in the team to tackle the challenges the business is solving.

**The expected distribution of effort is**:

- ~25% of the time will be spent on the coordination of the team and the product.
- ~25% of the time will be spent on people management (1-1s, hiring, support).
- ~50% of the time will be spent on hands-on technical work (code, software design, test, write documentation, review merge requests, etc.)

These percentages are just indicative and can be very different from one team to the other. Some Team Leads in clarity are in reality closer to 10-20% of hands-on technical work while others are able to dedicate almost 60%. This will depend of course on the size of the team, the amount of coordination needed, but more than that on the criteria of the Team Lead.
