About the Team:

The Entity Management team is responsible for building and maintaining tools that help small businesses manage the entire lifecycle of their legal and compliance needs, including incorporation.

• Act as the technical leader for the team, pioneering solutions and overcoming challenges to innovate and drive the project forward.
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain code quality standards.

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 12+ years of professional software development experience.
• Proven experience in leading the development of greenfield products and/or features. Ruby on Rails, Typescript, and React experience is preferred but not required.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Product Management, Design, and Marketing.
• Strong mentorship skills with a track record of fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within a team.
• Experience acting as a technical leader, solving complex problems, and driving innovation.
• Ability to develop and enhance the team’s software development processes and technical approaches.
