  • Collaborate closely with product management, UX design, and fellow engineering stakeholders to align efforts across the product
  • Cultivate a big-picture perspective that enables you to spot existing and impending problems, then work with senior engineers and leadership across the department to analyze and solve them
  • Mentor engineers in your team and others, ensuring your team delivers high output
  • Represent your team in cross-team technical collaboration and consultation
  • Continuously seek ways to make a substantial impact on your team and the broader engineering organization

Your Experience

  • 5+ years of industry experience as a professional software engineer building customer-facing software for a SaaS business
  • Significant experience providing technical leadership of teams building enterprise features on a multi-tenant SaaS platform at scale (examples - role-based access, SAML integrations, feature flag frameworks)
  • Excitement to dig in, prototype, build, test, and see projects through to production
  • Ability to balance shipping new products and features with addressing technical debt and investments in architecture and infrastructure

In this role, you will be an integral part of the group that enables customers to engage with their data through our web application.

You will draw upon your experience to rapidly investigate and prototype new functionality, then switch to implementation mode to deliver products. You will guide and mentor your team in enterprise software development, architecture and technical design, and the evaluation thereof.
