The experience we feel we need...
- Extensive Application Development Experience: You should have a solid foundation in application development, including front-end, back-end, and API development. Expertise in modern programming languages and frameworks suitable for building scalable applications is essential. Experience with scaling a company through post-startup growth phases and into serious growth, ideally with development teams of 200+ members, is highly valued.
- Leadership in Cloud Computing and DevOps/SRE: You will have transitioned from application development to roles emphasizing cloud-based systems and DevOps or SRE methodologies. Experience with infrastructure as code, continuous integration (CI), and continuous deployment (CD) is critical.
- Cloud Platforms Expertise: Extensive experience with AWS (or equivalent) services. Familiarity with GCP or Azure can also be beneficial
- Strong Technical Foundation in Quality and Security: A deep understanding of quality assurance, automated testing and delivery frameworks, and security protocols is essential to ensure the architecture supports robust and secure application development.
- Mentorship and Technical Leadership: Proven capability in mentoring and leading teams and individuals, especially in environments focused on technical excellence and innovation. You should be able to articulate a clear vision and guide teams toward achieving excellence in development practices.
- Broad Technological Proficiency: Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD tooling (especially GitHub Actions, feature flagging such as Launch Darkly). Containerization and Orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). Development frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, React, etc.
- Problem-Solving and Strategic Thinking: You will have demonstrated the ability to tackle complex technical issues, driving innovation and adapting to evolving business and technology landscapes. This means using all the tools at your disposal, including teams and individuals, as part of your solution mechanism. Quality and delivery are natural artifacts of your solutions.
- Communication and Influence: Exceptional communication skills are required, with the ability to effectively convey technical strategies to a diverse range of stakeholders, enhancing cross-functional understanding and collaboration. You should have experience working with larger development teams (50+ across multiple domains), leading without authority across teams and projects, and achieving results through influence and guidance. Demonstrating situations that required strong leadership and decision-making, as well as others where support was necessary to accomplish what was required, is crucial.
- Strong opinions lightly held; you need the background and confidence to lead and drive decision-making, with the wisdom to be open to alternative approaches and ideas.
- Ideas are praised. Execution is worshipped; you must understand that while everyone has ideas, success hinges on the ability to execute and iterate towards constant improvements. Being able to show multiple examples of successful execution throughout your recent career is essential.
