Head of Engineering

This is a new role. The team has doubled in size over the past year. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

Your responsibilities:

• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.

You'll need:

• 8+ years of professional software development experience.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

Desirable:

• Prior work at an early-stage startup.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.

What we offer:

Rate: $265,000-$320,000 per year

• Medical, dental and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%.
• Paid time off.
• Flexible schedule.
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Health insurance.

Who we are:

Content moderation runs around the clock, with reviewers in multiple time zones and languages. Experiments run constantly, and most product decisions follow A/B test results.
