Enterprise Search is a search experience toolkit which connects your source data to Elasticsearch, with modern search relevance features to improve the experience of the end user. That’s what we’re building, and we’re seeking a talented communicator, keen technical mind, and a compassionate leader with a light heart to help us continue to deliver against this vision.

What You Will Be Doing:
  • You will lead and manage a talented team of engineers. You’ll perform frequent 1on1s, deliver quarterly reviews, lead in “All Hands” discussions, onboard, coach and mentor new and existing team mates.
  • You will collaborate with other Tech, Team, and Product leads over a product roadmap. You’ll act as an essential and communicative part of an engaged and spirited team.
  • You will help navigate customer experiences with our world-class, empathetic support teams. You’ll work with all types of people and roles.
Our Team Style:
  • We appreciate articulate and “low ego” people who want to grow as part of a team.
  • We welcome diversity in all forms. We embrace strange and risky ideas and appreciate characters of all sorts.
  • We hold each other accountable and work to a high standard. We take pride in the frequent, safe and graceful delivery of innovative and valuable features.
  • We embrace open communication and challenge. We appreciate positivity and vigilance and strive for autonomy, trust and personal and professional growth.
  • Our stack is in Ruby, Java/JRuby, and Typescript. We welcome any language background and get deep into Elasticsearch.
What You Will Bring:
  • Experience leading a team of people at scale. You will have experience with flexible people management, rapid growth, servant leadership, and be comfortable with performance management.
  • Experience with remote management. You will know how different remote management is from in-office management and how to optimize for a distributed environment.
  • Experience as an individual contributor in an engineering role. You have shipped quality code into delightful applications, and know how good teams build systems.
  • Measured and articulate written and spoken communication skills. You work well with others and can craft concise and expressive thoughts into correspondence: emails, issues, investigations, documentation, onboarding materials, and so on.
  • An interest in learning new tools, workflows and philosophies that can help you grow. You can function well in an environment that drives towards change. This role has tremendous opportunity for growth!
