About the role and your impact:

As a Senior Development Lead on the Engineering team, you will work in a cross-functional team to build features that drive user growth and retention.

You and your team will build on top of our cutting-edge event sourcing system that connects our users via SMS messages, mobile and web apps.

What You Will be Doing:

  • Lead the design and implementation of features with an obsessive focus on solving customer problems and operational excellence
  • Work with senior members of technical staff to drive architectural and best practices decisions
  • Write code and pair with engineers (more coding responsibilities when the team is small)
  • Grow and retain a team of talented, cross-discipline engineers
  • Manage your team's roadmap in collaboration with product managers and designers.
  • Establish team goals and objectives.

What You May Bring:

  • 7+ years experience in full-stack development but also open to frontend or backend focused skills
  • 2+ years in leading a SaaS engineering team
  • Experience in running experimentation and A/B testing
  • Ability to organize and communicate complex projects that involve cross-functional stakeholders
  • A track record of shipping on time and at quality in agile environments.
  • Bonus: Experience in developing cloud-based CMS systems
