Director of Engineering
In 2007, two software engineers and serial entrepreneurs founded a technology company, ezCater. Today, ezCater is the only nationwide online marketplace for business catering in the United States a $23.9 billion market. Our 3.3M+ on-time ratings and reviews, our 60K+ caterers and restaurants, and our 5-star customer service make it superbly easy for business people to find and order great food for their meetings and events. We’re backed by Insight Venture Partners, Iconiq Capital, and Wellington Management, we're on a path to $1B in 2019 and $2B in 2020, and we'll get there - even more surely if you come help us.
In this role you will make a tremendous impact on both our organization and our technical platform. You will lead the technical aspects of one or more areas of our broad, evolving product platform. At the start, you’ll be responsible for a team of a dozen or more people depending on your experience. Then you'll recruit more of the best managers and engineers in Boston onto your team. You’ll lead, grow, and mentor these folks as leaders and senior technologists. This position works directly with the CTO.
ezCater values technology as a differentiator and a key component of our success. It powers everything we do. We push ourselves every day to better the codebase, improve performance, and deliver an amazing customer experience. Check out this CBS Boston article for a glimpse into our culture.
What you’ll do:
- Maintain the vitality and vibrancy of your team as you actively add staff over the next two years
- Coach managers and individual contributors and grow them as leaders and technologists
- Work closely with product management and other partners to ensure the development team is delivering high-value outputs
- Deliver ongoing improvements to the current platform while also contributing to our next-generation worldwide platform
- Nurture our collaborative and autonomous development culture
- Be a trusted advisor to both the CTO and a good colleague to your peers
You have:
- Managed ten or more people, ideally at least one of them a manager
- Built commercial web applications, ideally using a services oriented architecture, ideally with e-commerce or SaaS experience
- Enough experience with a cloud-based contemporary web stack that you’re technically credible
- Experience with and committed to agile methodologies
- The ability to learn quickly and take data-informed decisions
- Excellent written and verbal communication
What you’ll get from us:
Importantly, you’ll get sane working hours and a huge amount of flexibility around work/life balance. Have people in your life – of any age – who always, often, or sometimes need your help? We make room for that. Have a bad thing or a good thing happen to you? We make room for that, too.
Oh, and here’s what else you’ll get: Market salary, stock options you’ll help make worth a lot, the usual holidays, all-you-can-eat vacation, 401K, health/dental/FSA, long-term disability insurance, subsidized T-passes, a great office in the heart of Boston, a tremendous amount of responsibility and autonomy, wicked awesome co-workers, cupcakes (and many more goodies), and knowing that you helped get this rocket ship to the moon.
