Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, 3+ years of technical leadership experience
- You are comfortable working full-stack; a lean toward either the backend or frontend is okay!
- You have excellent product instincts, think about our users first, and can make decisions rooted in the business context. Experience shipping consumer-facing products from 0 to 1, which is a plus!
- You can effectively communicate complex concepts and have experience coordinating across teams to ship critical products
- You have experience with building a long-term roadmap and technical vision to tackle complex user problems, plus an ability to break it down for other team members to execute on
- You have architectural and system design expertise in developing highly scalable and performant distributed systems
- You thrive in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts
- You're a continuous learner - learn and grow constantly to feed your passion for self-improvement and make those around you better
- You're comfortable picking up new technologies (currently our team works with Ruby and Kotlin on the Backend and with React and React Native for Frontend Development; no previous experience is needed, but an openness to learn is a must.)
What the job involves
- As a Staff Software Engineer at GlossGenius, you are focused on some of GlossGenius's most complex and highest-impact opportunities
- You will typically be the technical lead for a team or a large technical domain, work closely with cross-functional teams on team roadmap planning and OKRs, and influence critical technical decisions
- As a technical leader, your impact scales beyond your direct team and extends to the broader engineering organization
- You hold a high bar, inspire, and level up the engineers around you, and you're able to zoom out and think about high-level architecture and business problems but are still able to roll up your sleeves and write code when needed
- GlossGenius has gone through significant growth, supporting tens of thousands of customers and seeing billions of transaction volumes on our platforms
- As our customers continue to grow their businesses, we want to enable them to be more successful
- Provide technical leadership to a distributed engineering team to design new and enhance existing GlossGenius product offerings
- Advise the GlossGenius leadership team on key technology and product roadmap considerations
- Own problems from end to end, managing complexity and engaging directly with stakeholders to think through everything from business impact, to reliability and operability, to security; always approaching situations with a bias to action
- Work with Product Managers to prioritize roadmap initiatives and be involved in the product ideation process
- Continually drive our engineering standards (code reuse, documentation, testing, etc.) and levels of service forward
- Take high-level business requirements and develop the technical details behind them. Collaborate with Product Managers to write epics and projects and ensure they’re appropriately broken down and prioritized, well understood by the team and sized correctly for continuous deployment
- Architect tools, services and systems using well accepted design patterns to allow for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling
- Uphold GlossGenius’s high standards for engineering and product quality and mentor newer team members to do the same
- Technical mentor to the growing engineering team
Our take
Business management platforms exist for a wide range of industries, including retail, hospitality, and healthcare. However, despite a modern facade the beauty industry lacks specialized software and still runs on generic CRMs and basic spreadsheets. Recognizing a gap in the market, GlossGenius has stepped in to provided a specialized business management platform for beauty salons, spas and studios.
With little competition in this niche, GlossGenius has swiftly captured a large market share, with triple-digit year on year revenue growth. It serves over 1000,000 businesses and has raised more than $70M.
With this funding, the company is aiming to accelerate platform development off the back of the release of consumer experience, payment and automation products. And it is well on the way to fulfilling its long-term aim of developing into the Toast of the beauty industry.
