We believe it takes great people to create a great product. That’s why our team lives our company values, and we hire based on them, too. Since 2010, Pipedrive has been on a mission to support sales and marketing teams with easy-to-use, powerful tools that make everyday work faster and easier. Today, our cloud-based software is trusted by over 100,000 companies and used in 179 countries. We have grown from a five-person team to a truly international company of over 850+ people, representing more than 50 nationalities, with ten offices distributed across Europe and the US. In 2020, Pipedrive received a majority investment from Vista Equity Partners, a global investment firm that invests exclusively in enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses, making Pipedrive the fifth unicorn from Estonia.
Our engineering team is our biggest team, yet we try to keep it flat and scalable using an innovative model built around independently operating Tribes. Each Tribe is headed by an Engineering Manager and is a self-sufficient and self-organizing unit with full ownership of its own area, accommodating Product Managers, Designers and all necessary Engineering roles. Engineers have a lot of freedom, they get to pick Missions to work on and when they’re done with a Mission, they’re back at the Launchpad keeping the show running and recovering before the next Mission.
We are on the lookout for an engineering manager for the Contactivity tribe. At Contactivity, we apply our expertise to help small businesses communicate with their customers. We own features such as activities, contacts, calendar management, video calling, scheduler, and more to streamline and optimize sales communications and sales engagement. If you’re passionate about engineering leadership, committed to continuous improvement, and eager to help shape the future of our engineering department, we’d love to hear from you!
