Responsibilities
- Proven Engineering Leadership: 9+ years in software development with 4+ years in a leadership role, demonstrating success in managing high-performing, multi-level full-stack engineering teams.
- Full-Stack Mastery: Strong proficiency across front-end (TypeScript, React, Svelte or equivalent) and back-end technologies (APIs and services, data layer, distributed systems), with experience owning scalable, secure, cloud-native architectures end-to-end; familiarity with mobile platforms (iOS/Android) is a plus, including experience with cross-platform frameworks (e.g. React Native, Flutter).
- QA & Quality Mindset: Solid grounding in QA methodology and test automation, with a track record of elevating testing practices, coverage, and release quality to ensure a high-quality, reliable consumer experience.
- Strategic Manager: Expert at resource planning and capacity management, with a track record of driving delivery within Agile environments, JIRA-based workflows, and quarterly planning cycles.
- Continuous Learner: Genuine curiosity for emerging technologies and tools, including AI-augmented development, with a track record of evaluating and adopting them to keep your team's practices current.
- Influential Communicator: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and build consensus across Product, Design, and QA teams.
- Strong personal alignment with our GetGo Values:
- Driven by Purpose
- Stay Curious and Humble
- Collaborate with Empathy
- Make it Better
- Get It Going!
Requirements
- Lead and grow a multi-level, full-stack engineering team, including Technical Leads, Senior Engineers, and QA Engineers, hiring, coaching, and upskilling engineers toward full-stack capability, and building a culture of mentorship and technical excellence.
- Own quarter-by-quarter planning and resource allocation for your team, translating business priorities into a sequenced roadmap that balances short-term delivery with long-term technical sustainability across multiple product lines.
- Partner with Product Managers, Design, QA, and Engineering Leadership to align priorities and secure buy-in on technical feasibility and architectural decisions.
- Drive architectural decisions and implementation strategy across front-end, back-end, and mobile (iOS/Android) for GetGo Group platforms, ensuring systems are scalable, secure, and reliable.
- Champion the QA function for your team, setting test strategy and quality standards, and embedding a culture where quality is built in rather than caught at the end.
- Elevate engineering and QA process efficiency, institutionalizing best practices in coding, testing, CI/CD, and documentation, pioneering the adoption of AI-augmented tools, and leveraging key metrics to guide improvements.
- Monitor delivery progress against quarterly OKRs, proactively managing risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks, and keeping stakeholders informed.
