• Working on tooling and services aimed at empowering product engineering teams to ship features quickly and confidently
• Coaching, mentoring, and onboarding new engineering team members
• Ensuring the career development, satisfaction, and productivity of the engineers on your team
• Identifying future technical needs and creating plans to meet them
• Providing feedback and guidance to help us continuously grow and scale

What do we need from you?

• 2+ years experience managing a team of Software Engineers
• 5+ years of overall development experience (you will be specifically managing a team that owns tooling and services using Golang and Ruby / Rails)
• Deep proficiency with distributed / data-oriented application development and SaaS
• Experience planning and leading development efforts on large projects
• Previous experience leading and mentoring teams and driving them toward big goals with consistent execution
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to succinctly explain deep technical concepts
• Experience leading Agile / Scrum ceremonies
• Previous experience working within a dynamic engineering organization
• Bonus for experience working on a Platform-oriented team where internal teams are your customers and shared tooling and services are the focus
• Availability for participation in on-call rotation, ensuring prompt and effective responses to business-critical alerts outside of regular working hours
• Authorized to work lawfully in the United States of America as Calendly does not engage in immigration sponsorship at this time
