Your role

We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Director of Engineering to lead and execute the technical strategy for our partner and inventory group. You’ll work closely with product and business leaders to guide thinking around foundational data models, integrations, operational tools and overall inventory quality to ensure high reliability and long-term maintainability. 

Your mission will be twofold: 

• to optimize the quality and quantity of inventory on ClassPass while helping our fitness and spa/salon partners grow their businesses.  
• to build the right set of internal tools that enable us to operationally scale as the business grows.

You'll likely spend time working on

About the right team member

You love helping other managers and leaders grow into the best versions of themselves. You believe in bottom-up leadership and helping teams move quickly and with quality by giving them ownership of their roadmaps. You have a strong technical vision and can help guide teams and organizational structure over the long term but aren’t afraid of rolling up your sleeves and getting down in the weeds on a technical challenge – even if that means writing code from time to time. You care about the entire organization and work to improve it over time, whether it’s directly within your purview or not. 

You’re excited to jump into wherever your impact will be the highest - whether that’s recruiting, coaching, setting technical vision, or doing data analysis, and you prefer to bias for action rather than wait around for the perfect solution. You know the best software is created through collaboration, experimentation and iteration and you’re looking for the right opportunity, and the right team, to expand your experience. 

You'll thrive in this role with experience in

• 5+ years of experience managing teams and at least 3+ years of experience managing managers. 
• Experience working within a distributed + remote organization, with strong written communication skills and comfort with modern collaboration platforms. 
• Hands-on leader, comfortable working at all levels of the organization. Able to describe the problem and vision, along with the expertise to dive into minute details.
• 10+ years of software development experience, including experience in building products at scale. 
• Experience in an organizational structure that emphasizes cross-functional, autonomous teams. 
• Strong sense of consumer focus and desire to ship high-quality features to our users quickly.

Technologies you'll be working with

• Experience with a microservices architecture. 
• Experience with scaling systems.  
• Thorough experience with backend and frontend development.
