Who is Recruiting from Scratch:

Recruiting from Scratch is a premier talent firm that focuses on placing the best product managers, software, and hardware talent at innovative companies. Our team is 100% remote and we work with teams across the United States to help them hire. We work with companies funded by the best investors including Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Ventures, Tiger Global Management, A16Z, Accel, DFJ, and more.

If you are a fit, the team will reach out to you about this role or any others that may be a fit for our clients.

About the Role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who can coordinate, facilitate and lead a team of exceptionally talented engineers. You will ensure that projects, milestones and goals are met on time and within budget. You will work closely with our product team to build out the right features at the right time that are used by tens of thousands of people every day.

What we’ll accomplish together:

• Build, lead and grow an incredible team of engineers by hiring, mentoring, and coaching them in line with our organizational values of self-growth and high impact.
• Work with product and design leads to ensure we balance product aspirations with engineering realities, tracking useful tech specifications, and maintaining appropriate user stories.
• Define, scope, and estimate team effort during the execution of important features and projects.
• Collaborate with other engineering leads to move our engineering practice forward and uphold and improve our execution standards.
• Close the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders - explaining technical concepts to non-technical folks and translating business-oriented and strategic plans to technical folks - to ensure that everyone is aligned around the value we are creating for our users.

A little about you:

• You have an engineering background with strong technical fundamentals and a history of high-quality execution.
• Track record of delivering complex technical systems that were easy for others to maintain and use, through thoughtful structure and naming, standard design patterns, and approachable documentation.
• Experienced in coding with Golang
• Solid understanding of distributed system architecture, like micro-services with CQRS
• A strong product sense, and have delivered user-facing products through rapid iteration where requirements are uncertain or changing.
• Experiences with building consumer-based applications at scale and are familiar with A/B testing, feature toggles and measuring results with analytics data.
• You are an enthusiastic proponent of light-weight, agile project management.
• Comfortable with trying out new tools, failing fast, and navigating unknowns.
