What you will do
- Join engineering leadership in working with cross functional leads (Product, Design, BD, Sales) to understand the organization's goals and set technical vision and roadmap.
- Rally the engineering team around the future vision and coordinate execution toward it.
- Help architect challenging distributed systems problems around scalability, reliability, high availability for the core trading API, web sockets, datastore services, and new initiatives.
- Ensure your team members are performing at their peak, are growing, and advancing in their careers.
- Contribute to the interview process and design, raise the bar, and help build and retain a world-class engineering team.
- Be a champion of the engineering culture at Seed Labs by coaching and mentoring engineers and other managers, participating in architectural reviews, and spearheading initiatives for higher developer productivity and team efficiency. As one of the early managers, you’re setting the culture not just for a team but for Seed Labs as a whole.
What you will bring
- 7+ years of software engineering experience and at least 3 years of experience as a software engineering manager, technical lead manager or similar
- Experience working with many of the following technologies in our stack with no hesitancy to dive in and contribute to challenges as needed: TypeScript, GoLang, Python, Solidity, Rust, data-processing systems (e.g. Kafka, Lambda architecture, ELK), storage solutions (DynamoDB, Postgres, Redis, Zookeeper), SQL database performance tuning, VMs and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure (AWS, Terraform, Terragrunt)
- Experience scaling up teams/organizations with a strong shared vision to build a world-class engineering team and nothing less.
- Experience hiring competitive candidates and the ability to craft and convey compelling visions of the future.
- A voracious and intrinsic desire for continuous learning and an equally strong ability for sharing that information clearly and concisely with others.
- You view changes as an opportunity to add structure and order when necessary.
- You believe data is the most powerful tool for informed decision-making.
- You thrive in ambiguity; complex and fuzzy requirements are more common than clearly defined expectations.
- You have strong verbal and written communication skills.
- You understand the importance of written, transparent communication as a default way to share not only technical but also strategic proposals and decisions.
