Assembled is building software to transform and elevate customer support teams, which often represent 20-50% of the people at a company. Our workforce management platform helps some of the fastest-growing, most innovative companies in the world—including Stripe, Etsy, and Robinhood—to schedule, forecast, and organize their support teams. We’ve raised $70m in funding from the likes of NEA, Emergence Capital, and Stripe itself.

Responsibilities:

  • You’ll lead the technical architecture and implementation of new projects and features. You’ll help scope these projects and advise the design, product management, and leadership teams on the technical details of these projects.
  • You’ll provide technical mentorship to the rest of the engineering team and advise on topics such as systems design, engineering best practices, and managing technical debt.
  • You’ll participate in design and code reviews and be a go-to person to unblock technical challenges for your team.
  • You’ll serve as the subject matter expert for your team or project by providing guidance to internal partners and customers.

About you:

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering as an individual contributor in full-stack environment.
    • Experience with translatable languages: Extensive back-end engineering experience in statically typed languages like Go, Java, or Rust.
    • Familiarity with ML packages and software: Experience using Python libraries like pandas, SciPy, and seaborn for statistical or predictive work.
    • Background in ML or algorithmic teams: Previous experience working on a machine learning or algorithmic team.
    • Passion for performance: A strong commitment to advancing both statistical and runtime performance, ensuring reliable and efficient forecasting and scheduling.
  • Product sense: You have consistently worked with product and design team to take ambiguous problems and turn them into technical stories.
  • Technical leadership: You have the ability to make well thought through technical trade-offs and have led code reviews or design conversations in the past.
    • You have experience leading the team of engineers as a technical lead or a senior team member responsible for the technical direction of the project.
  • Mentorship: You’ve helped mentor and coach other engineers who have then shown concerted, dedicated improvement in their abilities.
