• Enable and facilitate your team's projects, partnering closely with your PM to plan work and help the team execute effectively.

• Reinforce our culture of learning, collaborating, and taking ownership.

What you'll have:

• Experience leading software teams in an agile environment.

• A people-first mindset to leadership, and a deep passion for helping your team members grow.
• A readiness to share opinions about software engineering and leadership without being dogmatic.
• Experience with people management (hiring, performance management, etc).
• Demonstrated success building great products on top of strong technical foundations.
• Respect for the industry we serve.

What you do NOT need:

• A college degree, or high GPA or SAT score.
• An address in or around New York City. 
• Any equipment – we’ll provide a MacBook and monitor.
• To drink alcohol! Many of our colleagues do not.
