Our workforce management platform helps some of the fastest-growing, most innovative companies in the world—including Stripe, Zoom, and Robinhood—to schedule, forecast, and organize their support teams. We’ve raised $70m in funding from the likes of NEA, Emergence Capital, and Stripe itself. You’ll be joining a special group of people who learned the ropes at companies like Stripe, Google, Palantir, Atlassian, Twitter, Airbnb, Looker, NEA, Bain, and more. We are looking for an experienced and visionary engineering leader to strategically guide our Data Platform and Infrastructure teams. These teams have wide charters and act both as external product teams and internal force multipliers. It will be up to this leader to help determine each team’s strategy, organization, and focus going forward keeping heavy customer focus and impact in mind. You'll have wide autonomy to make product decisions and be the technical decision maker for your team. You'll end up working with product managers and design extensively to scope a project, engineers to build the product, and the business team to help launch and sell what your team has built. Responsibilities Lead and mentor teams of passionate software engineers that pride themselves on ownership and impact. There will be opportunities to cultivate manager reports. Recruit, manage, and coach the team to ensure that each person is motivated, excited about work, and performing their best. Set and communicate a clear vision for the future of these teams. It is important to be customer focused and wear a product manager hat when needed. Lead the team on technical decisions. You'll be accountable for technical decisions on the team. You'll lead the team in the right direction technically and ensure that the team is thinking through tradeoffs between the long and short term. Ensure on-time, high quality product delivery to ensure we are getting value to our customers quickly and effectively. Keep the engineering quality bar high. Drive adoption of engineering best practices. Be hands-on in technical architecture reviews and ensure our infrastructure scales to appropriate levels as we continue to grow. Make contributions to code if needed. Communicate cross-functionally with customers and business to ensure that everyone at Assembled understands the importance of what the team is building and that communication lines are open. You should help the team empathize with customer needs. Drive initiatives that improve our operational excellence, technical architecture, cross-team/organization communication, and recruiting. Work in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. The needs of our customers are changing quickly as companies grow (or shrink) and navigate new ways of working. The ability to thrive in ambiguity and change is critical.
