- Partner with product and other cross-functional teams to set goals and align engineering priorities with business outcomes.
- Deliver valuable product improvements ahead of the annual school scheduling season, including AI-enabled capabilities.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 3 years of engineering management experience, including managing multiple teams and scaling teams; experience managing other managers is valuable.
- Strong backend architecture and design skills, with the ability to assess trade-offs and remain hands-on.
- Experience with TypeScript or Python, AWS, and MongoDB; familiarity with React is also relevant.
- Experience in K-12 education technology or related learning and teaching fields, with a track record of connecting technical decisions to product and business outcomes.
- Comfort working in a fast-growing environment with ambiguity and cross-functional responsibilities.
- Ability to travel for company retreats and occasional business trips.
