Description

About the Role

Lead and scale multiple product engineering teams at a mission-driven K-12 education technology company focused on helping schools create schedules for teachers and students. You will partner with product and school-facing teams to connect engineering priorities with business outcomes, while remaining hands-on as the organization grows.

Responsibilities

  • Own delivery across multiple product squads, including scheduling, reporting and visibility, and elementary school experiences.
  • Contribute code, review work, and pair with engineers, with an initial focus split of roughly half hands-on work and half leadership.
  • Make and guide technical architecture decisions to support platform reliability and future growth.
  • Partner with product and school-facing stakeholders to set squad goals and align engineering priorities with business outcomes.
  • Deliver valuable product features ahead of the school scheduling season, including AI-powered capabilities.

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of engineering management experience and 5 or more years of engineering experience, including management of multiple teams and experience scaling engineering organizations.
  • Experience leading engineering teams and other managers, owning product or business outcomes, and guiding teams through significant technical decisions.
  • Strong backend architecture and design skills, with the ability to assess trade-offs and remain hands-on with code.
  • Experience in K-12 education technology or related learning and teaching fields, ideally in a mission-driven environment.
  • Proficiency with TypeScript or Python and experience with React, AWS, and MongoDB; able to ramp up on new technologies.
  • Strong communication skills, comfort with ambiguity, and experience translating technical decisions into business outcomes.
  • Ability to travel for periodic company retreats and business needs.
