SUMMARY:

Our client's workplace platform software has redefined how companies welcome visitors, keep employees safe, book desks and conference rooms, and manage deliveries in over 20,000 locations around the globe. Companies like Slack, Pinterest, and Warby Parker rely on our client to create an unrivaled first impression and keep their offices running smoothly. Our client is proudly backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Menlo Ventures, Initialized Capital, Brookfield Growth, and many others.

This team is the core features team for Workplace and is ultimately held responsible for this product's success and failure.

We are looking for a Senior Engineer who is capable of being fullstack but is excited to be backend heavy in their work. Our senior engineers lead major product features, design systems, and mentor other engineers. This is a unique opportunity and timing to join in the early stages of a rocket ship product and to direct where it's going.

Since the pandemic, our client has become a Employee workplace management product including features like Scheduling, Desk Reservations, Conference Room Management, Occupancy Analytics, Badging and Access Control, Mapping, and Health & Safety tracking.
We want this individual to get excited about driving the end-to-end Product Engineering process through all its stages: problem definition, solution exploration, system design, code execution, deployment, monitoring and iteration. We want this individual to be obsessed with enabling others on the team to improve "Product Velocity - the speed at which we can ship new products to the market. We intend to accomplish this not by putting in more hours, but by creating clean abstractions and systems so that Product Engineers can move quickly.

• Drive ambitious system design and architecture
• Drive engineering projects to completion. You will be an advocate for quality while also holding ambitious product goals.
• Be an advocate for the end-user, whether they are a customer or external developer

We believe that strong engineers can learn any stack, but we currently use:

• Kotlin and Ruby on Rails for our backend application layer
• Ember, React, and Typescript for our front-end
• Postgres for our database
• AWS for our infrastructure

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Comfortable and energized operating in a fast moving organization
• Excited to work with a team that's focused on Product Velocity
• Passionate about our product and working with Enterprise sized businesses
