The Role

This is your chance to make your mark on an innovative technology platform and be part of a fast-growing early stage start-up. We’ve built a brilliant culture and engagement platform which already delivers a boatload of value to 5,000 users across 30 companies. Now we’re looking for a proven product leader to prepare our architecture for rapid user growth and take our feature set to the next level.

Reporting into our Head of Product, you will:

  • Lead the engineering team, taking a player / coach role to develop our talented team and build out an engineering function ready for the next phase of our growth
  • Bring technology leadership to the Workify leadership team, including inputting to the Workify product vision and owning the plan for getting there through a clear product roadmap
  • Drive flawless and timely execution of the product roadmap, working through priority items with predictable velocity and ensuring important stakeholders across the team are on the same page
  • Roll up your sleeves and own key building blocks in our roadmap, leading the engineering journey from UX and requirements discovery through to development, testing, and deployment
  • Deliver world class code that improves the Workify platform whenever you touch it, whether that’s in deploying new features or improving existing ones
  • Work collaboratively across the Workify team to collect prospect, client and user feedback and turn it into innovative solutions

About You

You’re a highly skilled software engineer with experience leading teams within a dynamic, fast-moving environment. In your previous work, you’ve been recognized for the quality of your ideas and your ability to quickly turn them into solutions. You love to get things done, you’re not content with where the boundaries are today, you can achieve great things with the tools you have on hand, and you never forget that software serves people, and not the other way around.

In terms of skills and experience, you’ll bring:

  • Strong people leadership underscored by passion and experience, demonstrated by direct experience of attracting, coaching and managing high-performing, high-talent product teams
  • First-class engineering skills, with technical experience across the full Microsoft .NET web stack including MVC, C#, Azure Cloud Services, Sql Server, etc. (experience building mobile solutions with Xamarin is a plus too)
  • A proven track record of building, scaling and improving large-scale, complex platforms using agile and test-driven methodologies
  • The thinking skills to develop innovative technical solutions to complex problems, and the execution skills to lead your team to deliver against them at speed
  • The ability to clearly communicate and lead decisions around our product strategy, architecture and engineering principles, creating rapid consensus across a set of passionate stakeholders

We believe this means you’ll bring several years of engineering experience plus a B.S. degree or higher in science, engineering or a related technical field. But if you fit the criteria above and have a different mix of experience, we still want to hear from you.

The Deal

In addition to a competitive base salary, the deal at Workify includes:

  • Equity in the company through our employee share scheme, giving you genuine skin in the game
  • 20 days of personal time annually
  • Very competitive benefits package, including medical, dental and vision insurance, and 401k matching
