Pachyderm is growing fast and still small, so joining means you are getting in right at the ground floor and that you will have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company and product. Pachyderm has always and will always embrace a “Remote-first” approach to growing our team. This allows us to hire a diverse group of individuals across the country (and world!) while giving our team members the flexibility to work from anywhere. Being a member of The Pach means joining a supportive team that cares about you, values kindness and works hard to create an open and transparent workplace.

  • Nurture a culture of excellence on the team through hiring diverse and talented engineers, predictable execution, and a high level of quality
  • Collaborate with others in engineering and product leadership to create and own the long-term roadmap and deliverables for your team
  • Effectively communicate the roadmap and strategy within the team and across the organization
  • Create and manage processes that enable team members to do their best work

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of industry experience with 2+ years in an engineering management role leading high functioning teams
  • Ability to ensure a high hiring bar, develop and iterate on interview processes, and prioritize excellent candidate and interviewer experience throughout.
  • Ability to keep engineers motivated, and be a coach/mentor
  • Strong fundamentals in modern frontend technologies – Typescript, Apollo, Graphql
  • Experience with test automation tools – Jest and Cypress
  • A great track record of shipping features and hitting deadlines consistently
  • Ability to move fast, build in increments, and iterate
  • A sense of urgency, a mindset toward achieving results, and excellent prioritization skills
  • Ability to work effectively with stakeholders to influence product direction
  • Must have strong communication skills when talking about technical concepts
  • Focus on building and maintaining a culture of collaboration within the team
  • Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science

Additional Desirable Experience

  • Contributions to prominent and related open-source projects
  • Experience/familiarity with Machine learning and Data science workflows

Benefits:

  • Significant equity, 401k and full benefits (100% medical, dental and vision for employees, 50% for all dependents).
  • Flexible PTO - work/life balance is important and we want you to take time off to rejuvenate!
  • Remote friendly- we were remote before remote was cool and we intend to continue to invest in a remote first culture.
  • Tons of fun swag and surprise packages sent to your doorstep.
  • Tech and office stipends - what you buy is yours to keep.
  • Education and donation stipends - we want to support your career growth and the community.
  • Supportive parental leave (see also: work/life balance).
