How you can help make a better world of work

Culture Amp is a rapidly growing company empowering our customers to build Culture First companies. Our market-leading, category-defining Engagement product has been the engine of our success. In 2019 we added an award winning performance management solution to our portfolio. These two products together enable us to deliver highly differentiated, powerful and industry-leading capabilities to our customers. 

We are looking for an experienced Team Lead to lead our Reporting Services team, a cross-functional team responsible for the quantitative and qualitative analysis used by all reports in the Engagement product. Your team will own the services responsible for analyzing the data and creating insight for leaders of scale, supporting them to take meaningful action to create a better world of work for millions of employees.

In this high impact role, you will guide a team of engineers in delivering high priority product outcomes. The Reporting Services team is currently working on moving their data ingestion system from a time based polling mechanism to consume the data in real time from a data stream (Kafka). This real time capability will allow them to build more powerful real time insights bringing more value to our customers.

This is a Team Lead role that consists of three key areas: People Leadership, Technical Leadership and Delivery. You will lead your engineers by helping to solve complex problems, unsticking the team and removing blockers so they can do their best work!

Software Engineering at Culture Amp is an inclusive practice distributed across cross-functional, lightweight Agile teams, which are remote-friendly, and all of which embrace flexible work arrangements. You will be surrounded by talented engineers, and a cross-functional team including product management, design and delivery. 

In part of this team of amazing humans, 

You will 

  • Design innovative technical solutions which balance tradeoffs to deliver on business needs
  • Clearly communicate technical solutions with your team, peers, and other stakeholders
  • Mentor and develop a team of engineers, fostering their growth into future technical leaders
  • Prioritize the product roadmap, sequence initiatives, and share timelines with stakeholders
  • Collaborate across a cross-functional team to work out and achieve technical and product vision goals

You have 

  • Solid understanding of systems architecture and programming, preferably in Kotlin/Java
  • Experience with reporting databases would be highly regarded but not essential (clickhouse, redshift, OLAP, columnar databases)
  • Experience in collaborating with cross functional teams to prioritize and deliver customer value balancing technical tradeoffs, team capabilities and capacity
  • Experience managing stakeholders and leading engineers, complemented by strong written and verbal communication skills

You are

  • A technical leader who can balance hands on technical skills whilst empowering and coaching engineers
  • A full-stack engineer who is comfortable contributing to both the front-end and back-end codebases
  • Open to receiving feedback and giving feedback to help others grow
  • A people leader who has a track record leading, coaching, and growing a team of engineers
