VidMob Engineering

VidMob engineers develop a first-in-class operating system for creativity, bringing together the power of data and human creativity to help creators, marketers, non-profits, and more to thrive in the era of scaled digital creative. We are a high-performing team with a strong, positive culture. These are the tenets of engineering at VidMob:

• Continued improvement of our products, our organizations, and ourselves
• Outcomes over outputs; delivered value is more important than lines code, sprint points, hours, or other metrics
• Ownership of success; we are individually responsible for our success as a group; we take our commitments very seriously
• Our opportunity deserves urgency and care
• We value our colleagues; we are collaborative and supportive and embrace diversity
• We build for the user; the needs of the user are our inspiration and our arbiter of success

Who We’re Seeking

You care about your work and how it affects your team, the product, and our customers. You have demonstrated technical leadership. You are proactive with a natural desire to improve the product and your career. You communicate well, early and often. There’s no need to guess where you are now, where you are going, and if there are any obstacles. You have a passion for quality and an eye for detail.

• You have 6+ years of backend or full-stack development experience using Java or Scala.
• You are able to translate user stories and feature requirements into clear, actionable, small tasks; you can provide reasonable estimates for the amount of work involved; and you can work with all stakeholders to discover the right solution
• You can transition smoothly and easily among high-level planning, task breakdown, reviewing others work, and your own implementation tasks
• You can clearly communicate complex concepts both verbally and in writing, to both technical and non-technical audiences; you make meetings worthwhile, as the organizer and/or a participant
• You write well designed, readable, testable, and scalable code in accordance with clean code principles and team consensus. You keep solutions simple when possible, and know how to encapsulate complexity when it’s necessary
• You value collaboration and teamwork; you seek consensus, but are comfortable making decisions when called to do so
• You are eager to teach and empower you co-workers and have experience in scaling adoption of new technologies and / or skills across an engineering organization

What You'll Do

You will be a senior member of an engineering team, providing technical leadership, modeling excellent communication skills, and driving high performance. You will take the lead in high-level architectural discussions to balance the needs of users, desires of engineers, established standards, and technology constraints. You will collaborate to set internal standards and establish guidelines for others. You will leverage your own talent and experience to help others grow. You will ensure that the documentation that people need is available to them, and in a way that is most useful to them. You will be a key force in making VidMob engineering a great place to work.
