Role Description

Recast is looking for a highly motivated and entrepreneurial director of engineering to help us accelerate our engineering and product development practice.

What you'll do in your first 6 months:

  • Get to know our team of nine highly experienced software engineers – start one-on-ones and build development plans for each of them
  • Develop and (start to) implement a medium-term engineering roadmap that accelerates product velocity while reinforcing our core infrastructure
  • Help us rapidly grow our software engineering team while still keeping the quality bar high and maintaining a culture of product and engineering excellence in the team
  • Own our tech security practice and SOC 2 certification and compliance program

Things that should excite you that might scare off other folks:

  • Working across a range of technologies – from Rails to AWS & k8s infrastructure, to running #rlang in production
  • Working with a fully-remote and globally distributed engineering team across a variety of timezones
  • Working with a large number of direct reports – we’re a flat organization and we plan to keep it that way

Familiarity with the following would be nice to have, but aren’t required:

  • AWS and/or cloud-first architectures
  • Kubernetes and distributed compute generally
  • Building products with data science / machine learning / algorithmic components

Benefits

  • Work wherever you’re happiest. We're fully remote
  • Competitive remote salary along with early-stage equity
  • Highly skilled coworkers you can learn from and who are eager to learn from you
  • An async-first culture with a focus on documentation over standing meetings
  • Autonomy and support to do your best work in your own time
  • Your local holidays plus unmetered PTO (minimum 2 weeks mandatory PTO!)

Note

Recast is committed to building a diverse team so if you are from an under-represented background in tech (e.g., women, BIPOC, etc.) please apply even if you don’t necessarily check all of the boxes here.

While Recast is officially based in the US, we're a fully remote team (one founder lives in Brooklyn, the other in Mexico City and team members in 6+ countries around the world).

If this sounds interesting to you, we'd love to learn more about you! If you have examples of contributions to publicly available and widely used R packages, we highly value that so please make sure to include it in your application!
