About the Role
Lead multiple product engineering squads at a growing K-12 education technology company focused on helping schools create schedules for teachers and students. Reporting to the CTO, you will guide technical direction and product delivery while initially remaining hands-on.
What You'll Do
Own delivery across product squads focused on scheduling, visibility and reporting, and elementary school experiences.
Contribute code, review work, and pair with engineers, with an initial balance of roughly half hands-on work and half leadership.
Make and implement architecture decisions that support platform reliability and future growth.
Partner with product and school-facing teams to set squad goals and align engineering priorities with business outcomes.
Deliver high-value product features ahead of the school scheduling season, including AI-enabled capabilities.
Develop the engineering organization, shifting over time toward a primarily leadership-focused role.
What We're Looking For
At least 3 years of engineering management experience, including managing multiple teams and experience leading other managers.
Strong hands-on engineering ability and backend architecture experience, including navigating technical trade-offs.
Experience scaling teams and owning product or business outcomes such as speed, quality, growth, or retention.
Proficiency in TypeScript or Python, with experience in AWS and MongoDB; the broader stack includes React.
Background in K-12 EdTech or related education and learning fields, ideally with experience in mission-driven work.
Comfort working in a high-growth environment, communicating technical decisions in business terms, and learning to apply AI.
Ability to travel for periodic company retreats and business needs.
