Requirements and responsibilities


• Grow and support a world-class team of backend developers who feel autonomous, productive, and fulfilled. You will be responsible for setting them up for success while coaching and providing guidance along the way. • Expand and reorganize the team and its processes as context changes. You will ensure that tooling and workflows are appropriate. You will be critical of the status quo. • Empower each individual to make decisions and move forward with as little dependencies as possible. You will ensure the team brainstorms and documents high-level ideas, goals, and best practices. You will encourage knowledge sharing. • Drive the vision and technical strategy for the team and its codebases. You will do this at scale, serving hundreds of millions of users and billions of data items. • Work to strike a healthy balance between feature development, short-term and long-term improvements, so that we can confidently rely on our backends and APIs for years to come. • Coordinate and communicate between various technical and non-technical stakeholders, such as other Engineering teams, Product and Support. • Collaborate with other Engineering leaders around shared values, standards, and processes, and ultimately help shape Engineering at Doist as a whole. You will report to the CTO. • Help plan each work cycle internally by reviewing priorities, availability, and optimal matching of people to projects. You will periodically share updates, so that everyone is aware of what's going on behind the scenes.
