Appetize is looking for a truly exceptional engineering leader to work with one of our large software development teams. This is a critical role, leading web, mobile, and platform engineers to tackle an endless, important feature list at intimidating scale. Imagine Lollapalooza or a hot Yankees game in the middle of summer if you couldn’t buy a beer…unacceptable. The stuff you’ll work on has a very real impact, and our customers will love you or hate you for what you deliver. What you and your team build matters here.

You’ll own the entire lifecycle of development; analysis, construction, quality, deployment, maintenance…the works. This isn’t your first rodeo; you’ve got years of successful projects behind you, refining process and tuning teams to be delivery machines. That experience makes you credible, yet you’re humble enough to listen. You know how to balance quick wins against following process, and how to take shortcuts without compromising principle. You’re respectful, and coach your teams to be the same. You don’t micromanage; you empower, delegate and trust. You won’t have time to code, but you need enough technical experience and chops to gain the respect of your team. You feel passion to deliver great features for our customers, and develop that same sense of urgency within your teams. At the same time, you understand that running means you’ll trip, and you view mistakes as evidence that you’re trying hard stuff and learning. You realize that your success depends on the success of your team; that you don’t need to have all the answers, you just have to grow your team and trust them to find those answers for you. Team first, and you last…if that’s how you think and lead, and the deets below seem like a fit, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage web and mobile engineering teams
  • Drive and improve a structured software development approach
  • Work with the business to prioritize and deliver on schedule
  • Be customer facing as necessary, building confidence and credibility
  • Be available as necessary to coordinate troubleshooting urgent issues
  • Be a technical thought-leader, constantly improving how we design software
  • Be approachable and transparent, wear a lot of hats, and always be aware of the big picture of making Appetize great

Requirements

  • 5+ years of engineering experience as an individual contributor
  • 8+ years of management experience
  • Experience leading both web and mobile development teams
  • Strong architectural skills, with experience in scaling
  • Strong background in implementing process around the full lifecycle of software development
  • Strong knowledge of dev tools, quality tools, DevOps platforms, and the latest trends in all three
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, or similar
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, and excellent listening skills
  • Willing to travel occasionally, including internationally
