About Us
We're an early-stage, venture-backed SaaS startup focused on the construction and home services industry. Our platform helps contractors incentivize their hourly workforce by rewarding productivity, finishing jobs early, and improving job site efficiency. We service owners and the workers.
Demand is not the problem. Sales come easy because our solution solves a real pain point in the industry. We need an exceptional technical leader to take ownership of our technology and scale it to meet the demand.
The Role:
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our six-person engineering team and own the development of our platform. You'll be responsible for driving our technology vision, scaling our infrastructure, and ensuring we're building a world-class product.
Our web platform runs on:
Backend: Ruby on Rails
Frontend: Ember.js
Hosting: Heroku
We're also developing a native mobile app, and you'll play a key role in its development and success.
Responsibilities
Technical Leadership - Assist with technical direction and architectural decisions.
Hands-On Development - Actively contribute to coding, debugging, and optimizing our platform.
Team Management - Lead and grow our six-person engineering team (hiring, mentoring, and structuring the team for scale).
Product & Engineering Collaboration - Work closely with the product team to define and execute the product roadmap.
Scalability & Performance - Ensure the platform is reliable, fast, and scalable as we grow.
Mobile App Development - Drive the development and launch of our native mobile app.
DevOps & Infrastructure - Oversee hosting, cloud architecture, and deployments on Heroku to ensure a stable and secure platform.
Process & Best Practices - Implement agile methodologies, CI/CD, and best practices for rapid, high-quality development.
Security & Compliance - Ensure security best practices are in place as we scale.
Who You Are
A high-caliber engineer with experience leading teams and scaling products
General experience in Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, and cloud-based infrastructure a plus (Heroku experience too)
Experience with B2C or consumer-facing products is highly preferred or experience building self-service B2B software
A builder who thrives in high-growth, high-impact environments
Someone hungry and ambitious, ready to take full ownership of the engineering team and tech stack
Based in NY/NJ - Our office is in Jersey City, and while we're hybrid, we need someone local who can be on-site when needed
