- Your focus will be on driving consistent, high-quality execution within sprints, ensuring everything we build is meticulously crafted with our customers in mind and meets our high standards for performance, quality, and security

- Balance your time effectively between hands-on coding (approximately 50%) and people leadership responsibilities
- Drive efficient and predictable delivery through the consistent application of Agile/Scrum practices, actively tracking and improving team performance using relevant metrics (e.g., DORA)
- Foster strong day-to-day collaboration with Product Management and Design partners, ensuring alignment and a cohesive "one-team" approach to feature delivery
- Provide direct coaching and mentorship to individual team members, focusing on their technical growth, code quality, and adherence to engineering best practices
- Actively contribute to technical design and architecture discussions within your team, guiding day-to-day technical decisions and ensuring alignment with established company-wide standards and guidelines
- Champion a positive, inclusive, and highly productive team culture that encourages collaboration, continuous learning, and technical excellence
Our take
The benefits of having a partner program are huge - from the increased sales growth to reaching new markets, all the while keeping costs low. At the time PartnerStack was launched, there were no Partner Relationship Management (PRM) platforms offering to pay out partners, automate emails, track more than one conversion per customer, or run more than a single partner program.
PartnerStack was built as a partnerships platform aimed at supporting B2B SaaS companies in building and scaling their partner channels. As the only PRM platform built specifically for this market segment it has proven to be popular and their client list includes Vimeo, DoorDash and Freshworks, to name a few.
Despite an impressive level of investment funding, PartnerStack struggled somewhat with the market turmoil across 2022 and 2023. After making substantial cuts to its workforce it is now better aligned for current market conditions and is well positioned to resume its growth.
