Description

We’re looking for a talented Engineering Manager to lead the product engineering team. Engineering has stayed small throughout the company’s growth and we’ve been able to keep things relatively loosely organized

Day to day roles would include

• Working with Product Management to prioritize engineering work, and make tradeoffs between product needs and developer productivity goals.


• Mentorship and coaching of other engineers to facilitate long-term growth.


• Reviewing code and design docs for other team members.


• Planning for longer-term team needs, and designing architectures and staffing strategies to meet these.


• Hiring and onboarding new team members.

• Multiple years experience leading a team or teams of engineers with at least five individual contributors, ideally while at an organization undergoing rapid user growth, a faster pace of product development, and increasing technical complexity


• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience or 4+ of professional software engineering experience in a high-growth, rapidly changing environment


• Solid understanding of server tools and concepts (python, databases, web performance) and familiarity with mobile (iOS & Android) platforms, and cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS, GCP, Heroku).


• Demonstrated experience articulating a longer-term technical vision and making complex technical/architectural tradeoffs thoughtfully and collaboratively to get there


• A willingness to travel 4 weeks/year

• Have led teams of teams before


• Have been part of a rapidly growing engineering organization and have experienced (and hopefully helped to solve!) the challenges that come with growth


• Have experience building, working with and supporting diverse teams


• Have experience with DevOps and with the tools/technologies/processes for building easy developer workflows
