  • Create a strong engineering culture and practice
  • Put great engineering processes and tooling in place (e.g. code reviews, testing, deployment process, development environments, etc.) 
  • Work closely with the product team to understand product priorities and roadmap
  • Build a performance management framework for a high-performance team, driving personal growth & business goals forward 

What You Will Bring:

  • Minimum of 5+ years of software development experience at high-growth startups 
  • Minimum of 3+ years leading and/or managing engineering teams
  • Ideally, staff-level engineering & architecture experience, especially with our stack (Node, Typescript, React, GraphQL, Postgres, GCP)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, presentation, and listening skills, with the ability to present complex technical information to a variety of technical and non-technical audiences
  • Built complex interaction-heavy products and features

What do we offer:

  • Competitive Salary and meaningful equity
  • Ability to work on a hybrid schedule, 3 days remote and 2 days in office at our SF location in the heart of the financial district
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage and partial company-paid coverage for dependents
  • 401k program
  • Flexible PTO
  • Holidays
  • Sick days
  • Parental Leave
  • Weekly team lunches
  • Company events (monthly social events)

The salary range for this role takes into account a wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including, but not limited to, skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.
