HEAD OF ENGINEERING (frontend, backend, python, software developer, typescript, React/Next.js)
• Virtual
• Company Location: Kenya
What does the job involve
• Hands on development work. We’d like you to be able to pick up tasks across the board as needed, whether that is frontend updates or backend architecture. Our primary tech stack uses Typescript, React/Next.js, gRPC, all running on GCP with modern CI and deployment pipelines in place.
• Overall ownership of architecture, best practices, platform reliability and ways of working within the engineering team. Close collaboration with the Product and Design function. You’ll work closely with our product managers to help inform roadmaps and prioritization.
• Manage, mentor, and grow the engineering team. You’d initially be the manager for a team of three great engineers, but would be the point person for future hiring
Qualifications
• 5+ years of proven experience as an individual software developer using relevant tools and technologies. We do all new development on Typescript, both frontend and backend, and you need to be able to hit the ground running using these tools. Exposure to Python is a bonus as we do use this for parts of our legacy platform and data science projects.
• Experience as a manager including hiring, performance management, streamlining ways of working, and cross functional collaboration is a strong plus, though we will consider candidates with exceptional technical skills that are interested in taking on management responsibilities
• Greenfield/startup experience is a big plus. You’ve likely worked in smaller teams tasked with creating something from nothing, not only in bigger organizations where everything is already defined for you.
