About Quilt Data

Quilt Data is a fast-growing early-stage startup building Quilt, an open-source data hub that enables enterprises to make smarter decisions faster. GitHub solved the problem of developers collaborating around code. Quilt solves the bigger problem of developers and non-developers collaborating around data. As a result of using Quilt, scientists, leadership, business users, and developers can bring drugs, models, and therapies to market faster.

About the Role

You'll work closely with the CTO to ensure the implementation product features at a high level of quality and on time for customer releases. You will turn high-level objectives into tasks and organize them into sprints. You'll hold developers accountable and nurture their development.

You will lead Quilt's highly talented remote engineering team. You will run the team's daily standup (currently 9PM PDT/7AM MKT). The timing is somewhat flexible, but strongly preferred to be in the morning for the developers. As the company scales, you will help grow the engineering team.

  • Hold developers accountable
  • Manage software releases and quality control

  • Hit the ground running. Therefore, 3 or more years of industry experience is required.
