We are a high-energy, high-growth product company seeking an enterprising individual to join our growing team as a Director of Engineering.  A strong background in software engineering is a must, as is experience managing teams of 10+ people.

We’re big believers in continuous delivery and use metrics like cycle time, defect removal efficiency, and mean time to resolution as tools to improve and get better.  Our products live in the cloud on Google’s Cloud Platform.  Our Microservices technology stack includes React on the front end, Java (primarily), Scala, and Go on the application side, and a mix of relational and NoSQL solutions on the back end including MySQL, Cassandra, ElasticSearch, Hadoop, and Google’s Cloud Datastore.  We handle eye-popping amounts of data and requests using stream processing technologies such as Kafka and Flink.

We don’t expect anyone to have experience with all of these technologies.  We’re simply looking for a seasoned software engineering leader who loves to create, lead, and mentor highly functioning development teams. The ideal candidate loves to learn and has experience managing development teams.  As a leader of leaders, our ideal person puts the team ahead of themselves, thinks holistically about organization health, and has a keen focus on engineering hygiene and efficient processes. If you have these qualities and are willing to hit the ground running then we’re the place for you!
