Our engineering team is preparing for significant growth, and we're looking for someone who can help guide that journey. If you have experience scaling teams, modernizing engineering practices, and driving technical excellence, we'd love to connect.

- Hands-On Development: Write high-quality, production-ready code; participate in code reviews; ensure best practices in testing, CI/CD, and deployment.
- Drive transformation: Coach existing team members on best practices in software design, testing and operation. Serve as a mentor to other engineers.
- System Architecture: Design scalable, secure, and resilient systems that will support rapid growth and evolving customer needs.
- Mentorship & Management: Lead, mentor, and occasionally manage up to three engineers; provide guidance on technical challenges and career development.
- Drive engineering productivity: Evaluate new technologies, tools, and frameworks that can accelerate development and improve reliability.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong expertise in backend or full-stack development.
- Proven success designing and implementing large-scale systems and leading high-impact projects
- Deep knowledge of modern software practices, such as continuous deployment and software testing.
- 3+ years of engineering management experience; you've been both a technical lead and people manager and understand how to balance the two.
- Strong understanding of AWS (or similar cloud platforms) and the ability to coach teams on modern infrastructure practices
- Experience working with distributed teams; comfortable leading in a hybrid environment (role based in Chicago, with team members across the U.S., including our Cincinnati HQ).
