Job Description

The Challenge

We believe that technology leaders are defined by their ability to solve today’s biggest product challenges, while also modeling and transferring the best practices of their craft to any team member — from entry level developers to senior software engineers. 

We’re looking for a confident and people-centric Lead Software Engineer with experience in people management to join our team. Your challenge: lead our key partner accounts with your own team, and mentor the next generation of engineers at Think-it in your area of technical expertise.

80%: Your key responsibilities 

  • Take ownership of one or more of our key partner accounts, including technical strategy and decision-making, product problem-solving and troubleshooting, partner success communication, and coaching junior engineers

  • Support our social impact learning programs and internal Learning & Development by coaching up-and-coming engineers on your areas of expertise

  • Responsible for the development, support, and assessment of personalized growth plans for the engineers reporting to you on your partner teams
  • Collaborate with our Talent Acquisition team to strengthen our pipeline and hiring experience for engineers in your area of expertise

  • Set an example of responsible technology leadership: Think big, but hold yourself accountable for the quality and ethical impact of your work — and lead your team by example with humility, strong work ethic, and a growth mindset. 

20%: Up to you! What are you passionate about? What do you want to learn, and where else would you like to contribute?

Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of experience as a software engineer, including experience with team leadership and/or technical project management

  • Experience with Agile Software Development Techniques and Tools, TDD, and pair programming

  • You are a shipper. You respect deadlines, accomplish your work autonomously, and have experience setting a positive example for self-management to your team.

  • You are people-centric. You are excited by a role focused on the mentorship and guidance of junior Software Engineers, and are confident giving and receiving feedback to help others grow.
