This is a team lead position. Lead can mean many things to many people. Leads at client contribute often directly to the codebase, and all of them mentor other team members and have a strong desire and motivation to grow the individuals on their team and the team. Leads are highly opinionated and back up their opinions with data and experience. Leads are advocates for their team members and care greatly about individual contributor successes as well as the teams success. We are seeking the desire for personal growth, good communication, and commitment to delivering value for real users, not just shipping features.

About You: You have demonstrated leadership experience in the past in a modern engineering environment, working across the full tech stack. Your motivation to lead is intrinsic and not from a belief that the sole means of career growth mandates management. At client, your opportunities for growth dont require you to take your career a direction youre not interested in. You know that ceremonies (daily standups, sprint reviews, etc.) arent to be performed for their own sake, but you know why such ceremonies are held. You believe Agile and Scrum are mindsets, not a strict playbook that must be followed, but rather you run your team how you, and they, best feel will result in positive outcomes. You design APIs that are meant to be consumed by others, so ease of use, simplistic design, and other attributes that benefit interoperability are key. You believe in understanding why work is being done and empathizing with the users, not just implementing code and moving onto the next task. You are outspoken in your beliefs and seek out and use data to drive decisions to help your team and project succeed. You have demonstrated software delivery experience with a distributed product & engineering team. You enjoy researching new technologies and methodologies and have a keen desire to dig into complex technical issues.

Be an organizational leader in unlocking the potential of data to improve our ePaaS platform. Collaborate with your partner product and program leaders to push projects forward by removing obstacles, think beyond the MVP, and clearly communicate status to stakeholders. Balance the need to solve deep technical problems with the larger macro goal of delivering software expediently and efficiently across a distributed microservice architecture. Analyze business requirements and identify possible gaps, ambiguities, missing scenarios, etc. Design and implement sound engineering solutions that meet the business need. Solve problems quickly and collaboratively. Present a passion for the ePaaS mission. Advocate for processes, either by maintaining existing ones, modifying them, adding new ones, or even eliminating processes, to improve the efficacy, quality, and morale of your team. Work with product, engineering, SRE, and other leadership to understand how your solutions will be planned, developed, implemented, and supported. Contribute to CI/CD processes to allow for smoother releases and increasing team confidence. Use your interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate effectively with product sponsors and senior leadership in engineering and the greater business Understand the business requirements of products, tasks, and stores, and if you identify possible gaps, ambiguities, missing scenarios, opportunities, etc., raise them with the team and with leadership so we can all improve them.
