What is The Role

You won’t always be the person with the answer or the person making the decisions, but you are expected to guide most of them. We need a person who has made critical decisions in the evolution of a big product and platform over multiple years and releases, and who can lead a team with a coherent vision while making appropriate compromises along the way.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Manage, mentor and lead a globally distributed team of approximately 8 experienced engineers
  • Lead the efficient delivery for time-boxed software releases, ensuring high quality and innovative feature development
  • Build roadmaps and lead prioritization; balance the right amount of structure and planning for a fast-paced engineering team
  • Work with our Product Management team to ensure requirements and the “why” are clear
  • Foster a culture of mutual respect and collaborative decision-making
  • Stay true to the principles of software development as adopted by our team
  • Identify staffing requirements and help drive recruitment of high quality colleagues
  • Support the development and training of direct reports through regular performance evaluations
  • Be an amazing person to work with, somebody who sincerely empathizes with others
  • Mentor the software engineers in the team as well as other Tech Leads and Team Leads

What You Bring

  • Experience leading diverse teams of software engineers as a line manager (people manager)
  • Experience leading complex engineering projects that cross engineering teams
  • Experience as a hands-on software engineer and strength in computer science fundamentals to understand the engineering work that is going on in your team
  • Strong written and spoken English communication skills
  • A compassionate approach to communication, a good sense of humor, and a genuine curiosity about the success and growth of the people you work with
  • Experience and expertise in vulnerability management processes, and security compliance frameworks (e.g. FedRAMP)

Bonus Points

  • Experience in any of the following:
    • Authentication protocols such as SAML, OpenID Connect or LDAP
    • TLS and X.509 certificate management
    • Cryptography, including hashing and encryption.
  • You've worked in open source before and are familiar with different styles of source control workflow and continuous integration.
  • You've built things with Elasticsearch before, and understand how distributed systems operate and the limitations and advantages.

We strive to have parity of benefits across regions, and while regulations differ from place to place, we believe taking care of our people is the right thing to do.

  • Competitive pay based on the work you do here and not your previous salary
  • Health coverage for you and your family in many locations
  • Ability to craft your calendar with flexible locations and schedules for many roles
  • Generous number of vacation days each year
  • Increase your impact - We match up to $2000 (or local currency equivalent) for financial donations and service
