About you:

You’re an established IT leader who serves as a mentor and player-coach to high-performing operations teams.

And what you don’t know, you’re willing to figure out with your peers. You are process-oriented and rigorous in following up on your plans and commitments. Above all, you value servant leadership and you are driven to support the needs of every employee who walks through Stack Overflow’s hallways (virtual or otherwise), no matter their role, personal background or technical experience level.

• Collaborate with the Information Security, Internal Development and SRE departments to implement best practices for keeping Stack Overflow employees’, users’, and customers’ data secure
• Create and track KPIs, metrics and goals for the IT Helpdesk team 
• Manage the IT Helpdesk budget and balance business needs with our employees’ technical and workplace-related needs 
• Ensure that each member of your team has a development path that ensures they are learning and developing in their current role and into their next 

What we’re looking for:

• Servant leadership mindset – one that models humility and empathy through action
• Experience with multiple hardware and software platforms 
• 5+ years’ experience working in IT support or operations, or commensurate experience
• 3+ years’ experience managing high-performing teams, or commensurate experience

About Stack Overflow

More than 50 million professional and aspiring programmers visit Stack Overflow each month to help solve coding problems, develop new skills, and find job opportunities.

We partner with businesses to help them understand, hire, engage, and enable the world's developers. Our products and services are focused on developer marketing, technical recruiting, market research, and enterprise knowledge sharing.

We believe in hiring smart people and getting out of their way. We have an office in New York with some of the best amenities of any New York startup, and we have people who work remotely all over the world. We keep meetings and ceremony to an absolute minimum.

What we value:

• Servant Leadership: We lead by empowering and inspiring people to do their best work, not by micromanaging. We hire smart people, set them up for success, then get out of their way.
• Collaboration: The best products are created when people from different backgrounds and disciplines work closely together in an environment of respect and trust.
• Transparency: Trust is built on openness and transparency. If there is not a good reason to keep it a secret, we share it. For example, we share our complete engineering salary formula.
• Inclusion: We do our best work when we can be our whole selves at work. We’re committed to policies and benefits that support people, and leaders who foster an open and inclusive culture.

Diverse teams build better products.
