About Cambly: Our mission is to bring high quality English education to every English learner in the world at the touch of a button. We match English learners with the perfect tutor to help them achieve their goals. Come help us build the world’s largest English learning marketplace and school.
Our engineering team is built of world-class engineers who take pride in helping students around the world unlock economic opportunity by learning English. What started as a 1:1 video platform connecting a Native English tutor and an English learner, has grown to offering Groups (3 students, 1 tutor) as well as using AI to help students and tutors. While our product offerings continue to grow, our mission remains the same.
To continue our growth trajectory, we're currently looking for a seasoned Director of Engineering who will:
- Lead the company through difficult and complex decisions regarding technical strategy and tradeoffs, optimizing for Cambly’s near- and long-term success

-Lead engineering execution by developing engineering managers, leveraging our most senior engineers, and not being afraid to get into the weeds with any engineer on the team

- Develop roadmaps that balance ambitious and rapid improvements to our product with infrastructure investment to help us scale and ship quickly
- Partner with cross functional leaders across the organization to ensure we leverage our technical expertise to find the shortest path to maximum impact on our learners, tutors, and business
- Take broad ownership over who and how we hire while holding the bar high on skills and culture
- Embody and develop our culture both within engineering and beyond

- 5+ years of experience successfully leading, managing, and coaching multiple engineering teams with over 15+ engineers (3+ years for a consumer tech product with a mobile app and web experience)
- 15+ years of software engineering experience
