What You'll Do (Job Description)
At Stride, we pride ourselves on a snappy, best-in-class User Experience while shopping and enrolling in benefits. While we started with Consumer, other companies in our space started knocking on our door to build a Platform so they could provide their customers with the same experience. Fast-forward to now, and Platform has made us become a hyper-growth company.
We’re growing not only in scale but also in team size. For that reason, we’re seeking an Engineering Manager to lead and scale our Platform Services team, the foremost Product Backend engineering team at Stride. You will be responsible for recruiting and retaining engineering talent and building an organization that goes beyond just one squad. Platform Services is at the heart of Stride’s Product Engineering, and you’ll be interfacing with our full-stack teams daily, managing dependencies and crafting roadmaps alongside our Product leaders.
Lead, manage, and grow a team of high-performing Platform Backend Engineers.
Own the technical direction of the entire set of Platform Services - be responsible for consistently delivering iterations to existing APIs, workers, event-based pipelines, cloud stacks, and building new ones.
Ensure that our teams follow Engineering best practices - sprints, code reviews, software design docs, or conducting post-mortems.
Set consistent standards for technical excellence, and lead your team to do the same.
Set goals for your team and its members. Delegate, mentor, and deliver results.
Collaborate across Engineering / Product / QA / Design to deliver features that satisfy customers’ needs with simplicity, consistency, and robustness.
Balance tradeoffs between practical, incremental release mentality with long-term architectural considerations.
Develop a robust engineering-driven culture that promotes diversity, innovation, and creative problem-solving
What You Need to Be Successful (Skills)
Must Have
3+ years of experience leading consumer-facing backend engineering teams, including performance management.
5+ years of hands-on development experience using Node, Express, RESTful APIs, SQL databases (Postgres), including code reviews and driving architectural standards.
We’ll also love if you’re proficient in any/all of AWS, Typescript, GraphQL, NoSQL (DynamoDB), event-driven architectures (EventBridge), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
Recent experience growing high-performing engineering teams in a startup environment, including attracting, hiring, and retaining top engineering talent.
Proven track record of managing project roadmaps from conception through successful release.
Prior experience managing a geographically distributed engineering team is highly preferred.
We provide the world’s first benefits platform crafted specifically for individuals, who don’t receive employer-based benefits. We help them save time and money on insurance, taxes, and hundreds of thousands of products and services. Since launching in 2014, Stride has helped over 3 million Americans save over $3 billion 🤩
Stride delivers benefits for people who work without employer benefits 💥 We’re building the world’s first platform designed for the independent workforce, and we’re looking for outstanding people (like you!) to help us do it. Today, 60 million Americans work independently and that trend is only accelerating. For many Americans, benefits are tightly coupled with their full-time, W2-based jobs where they receive group-based benefits. But for millions of Americans who work independently, their livelihoods are at-risk and outside of that financial safety net.
That’s where Stride comes in. We make it extraordinarily easy and intuitive to find the best and most affordable health care coverage for independent workers and their families, including dental, vision, life, accident, and disability coverage. 🎉 All the same benefits you’d expect from a W2 employer, but built specifically for contract workers, part-timers, and self-employed Americans.
Stride partners with the world’s leading platforms and employers of non-benefited workers including DoorDash, Uber, Postmates, MasterCard, Amazon, Aon, Willis Towers Watson, and others to help them provide their workers access to affordable health and wealth benefits and perks 🔥 In 2021, the company launched its Stride for Health Plans platform to enable simple ACA enrollment for health insurance carriers. The company is backed with over $96M in capital by Venrock, New Enterprise Associates, Fidelity’s F-Prime Capital Partners, Mastercard & Allstate.
