What you’ll do
As a team, we are still small enough for your influence to be felt in every corner, and yet we're well established enough as a company that we don't often have to worry about existential questions. We're looking for engineers that can help us build on our solid foundation and take advantage of the exciting opportunity ahead of us.
The Platform team is responsible for the core of Teespring technology. The product design tool which creators use, the buyers' purchase workflow, and analytics dashboards which provide an invaluable feedback loop to the community of sellers.
As the leader of this team, you'll work with Helen – your Product Manager peer – to understand technical requirements, identify and iterate on possible solutions, provide clear user stories to the engineers you support, and ensure timely delivery of quality code. In addition you will people manage the team of six engineers – working with them to understand their career goals, putting development plans in place to help them achieve those goals, and inspiring them to new successes.
What we’re looking for
One of the company's core values is problem-solving. We believe that a bias towards thoughtful action helps us explore opportunities and test theories quickly, so an engineer manager who relishes analyzing a difficult problem and moving quickly to solve it would be a good fit here.
