We are a high-energy, high-growth product company seeking an enterprising individual to join our growing team as an  Engineering Manager.  A strong background in software engineering is a must, as is experience leading teams of 5+ people.

We’re big believers in continuous delivery and use metrics like cycle time, defect removal efficiency, and mean time to resolution as tools to improve and get better.  Our products live in the cloud on Google’s Cloud Platform.  Our Microservices technology stack includes AngularJS / React on the front end, Java (primarily), and Scala on the application side, and a mix of relational and NoSQL solutions on the back end including MySQL, CloudSQL, ElasticSearch, BigTable, BigQuery, and Google’s Cloud Datastore.  We handle eye-popping amounts of data and requests using stream processing technologies such as Kafka and Flink.

We don’t expect anyone to have experience with all of these technologies.  We’re simply looking for a software engineering leader who loves to lead and mentor highly functioning development teams and loves to learn.  The ideal candidate has spent time as a software engineer, transitioned to an architect or team lead role, and has managed a development team.  If you have these qualities and are willing to hit the ground running then we’re the place for you!
