Engineering Team Lead

We are a globally distributed team with folks from the United States, Canada, Chile, Mongolia, Turkey, India, Madagascar, Ukraine, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia… and more. Our values center around customer centricity, urgency, curiosity, and ownership. We are all empowered to fix the problems we see, there are no “toes” to be stepped on. A team went off and created a new SaaS product, another team rewrote a core service under a new architecture. We believe in our collective mission and do what it takes to move the needle on that goal.

• You will partner with product managers, and our customers, to create your team’s roadmap.
