• You will drive cross-functional collaboration with Design, Data, Security, and Customer Success teams to ensure cohesive product development and seamless user experiences for both interviewers and candidates.
• You will help scale organizational structures and hiring practices as the team grows, promoting inclusivity, psychological safety, and high performance across distributed teams in North America and Latin America.

• You will represent engineering in executive forums, communicating technical trade-offs, risks, and opportunities to stakeholders and helping shape company-wide technology strategy.

• You will grow as a strategic technology leader, gaining experience in scaling engineering organizations, aligning technical vision with business outcomes, and leading through influence in a fast-growing, purpose-driven startup environment.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience leading multiple engineering teams or engineering managers in a fast-paced, product-driven technology company, preferably with exposure to distributed or global teams.
• Strong technical background in software engineering, with hands-on experience in full-stack development, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and modern web technologies (e.g., React, Node.js, Python, or similar).
• Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with Product, Design, and other cross-functional leaders to define strategy, prioritize work, and deliver customer-centric solutions.
• Experience mentoring and developing engineering managers, including coaching on leadership, performance management, and team building.
• Track record of improving engineering velocity, system reliability, and process efficiency through the implementation of best practices in DevOps, Agile, and quality engineering.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and influence decisions at the executive level.

🏖️ Benefits

• Opportunity to lead engineering efforts for a mission-driven product used by thousands of companies globally to make technical hiring more fair, consistent, and inclusive.
• Remote-first work environment with flexibility to work from anywhere in the United States while collaborating across North American and Latin American time zones.
