What makes this job meaningful?
This probably isn't the first job description you've read today. Maybe this is one of over 100 you reviewed this week. So, before we go any further, we want to stop and say thank you for considering this role. The rest of this post will be our pitch to you. We know you have options and we'd like you to consider adding us to that list.
The world is full of strained relationships. Perhaps no place is greater evidence of this than the workplace. The cliche of conflict between manager and employee is age-old and we're tired of it. We're so tired of it, that we're out to change it.
Leadr is a new kind of people management software, and while that may sound like business jargon, I promise you that this is not your typical B2B software company. At our core, we are helping organizations develop their people by turning managers into coaches and giving employees a voice. We believe today's employees expect more than just a title and a salary - they seek opportunities to learn, grow, be challenged, and be valued for the ideas they bring to the table. Unfortunately, most organizations lack the tools and structure needed to create a culture to support these expectations across every team and every manager. If this mission matters to you, keep reading.
Our development team at Leadr gets to pioneer this vision through building our world-class product and the systems to support it. We take feedback from our team and customers to create a roadmap to build.
Why You'll Be Motivated To Apply...
Requirements
Our Tech Stack:
At a high level our tech stack is a React frontend on top of a serverless microservice backend implemented as NodeJS AWS Lambdas with data stored in DGraph, a graph DB. We are moving away from NodeJS to C# (.Net Core) for the backend.
Our SDLC and Deployment Process:
Our team abandoned Scrum a few months ago and found that quality improved dramatically. Now we are following a Kanban approach and we ship whatever has passed QA scrutiny to production once a week. We leverage Feature Flags heavily to control when we turn features on, but also as a safer alternative to branch-mania! We are slowly picking up the pace of deployments and are working towards eventually being able to safely and reliably deploying code to production several times per day.
You Will Be Well Set To CRUSH This Role If...
Location
This role reports to the Director of Engineering (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hroger1030/)
#LI-Remote
This role is now and always will be fully remote for US residents. However ... Our head office is in Plano, Texas and if you are looking to eventually get into a Director+ role you should strongly consider relocating there. Also, if you choose to move to a state that we don't currently have employees in that could pose a problem for getting paid. Currently we have employees in WA, OH, FL, GA and TX.
Benefits
We are pleased to offer valuable market-rate salary, bonuses, and benefits. We offer PTO, Paid Holidays, Flex Holidays, etc. We are committed to developing you as a leader and providing career growth throughout your employment with us. We promise to care for you as a person, and have meaningful conversations with you so you have the clarity and support you need to do your best work!
What can you expect for your interview process?
While not all candidates will complete the entire process, here's what it looks like from start to finish. We'll keep communication open the entire way so you always know where you stand.
About Leadr
While the problem we're tackling at Leadr is ambitious, we have reason to be optimistic:
Our early team is loaded with talented and experienced people who share a passion for the mission. The executive team has done this before, founding and leading a startup in the payments space to hyper-growth and a successful exit in less than 10 years. Because of our strong track record for success, we're well funded with plenty of financial runway.
Leadr is an Equal Opportunity-Affirmative Action Employer. Thank you for considering Leadr as the place to share your strengths and talents.
