About the Role
Lead and scale multiple product engineering squads at a mission-driven education technology company focused on tools for K-12 school scheduling. Reporting to the CTO, you will guide product engineering priorities and technical decisions while staying hands-on as the organization grows.
What You'll Do
Own delivery across multiple product squads focused on scheduling, reporting and visibility, and elementary school experiences.
Contribute code, review work, and pair with engineers, initially spending about half your time hands-on.
Make and communicate architecture decisions that support a robust, scalable platform.
Partner with product and other cross-functional teams to align engineering priorities with business outcomes.
Deliver high-value product features ahead of the school scheduling season, including AI-powered capabilities.
Scale teams and, over time, shift toward a primarily leadership-focused role.
What We're Looking For
5 or more years of engineering experience and 3 or more years in engineering management, including management across multiple teams.
Experience scaling engineering teams, managing other managers, and owning product or business outcomes.
Strong backend architecture and design skills, with the ability to assess trade-offs and remain hands-on.
Experience with TypeScript or Python, AWS, and MongoDB; familiarity with React is useful.
Background in K-12 education technology or related learning and teaching fields, ideally with experience in mission-driven education initiatives.
Comfort working in a high-growth environment, aligning technical decisions with business goals, and learning and applying AI.
Ability to travel for occasional company retreats and business needs.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $210,000 to $240,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
Remote within the United States, with Boston as the primary location.
