Director of Engineering

At Dataquest, we teach data science to a community of hundreds of thousands of students worldwide. We help students deeply learn concepts, build projects, work together, and gain the confidence they need to start new careers. Read more about our philosophy here, and read what students think here.
We’re looking for an experienced Director of Engineering to lead, support, and motivate our engineering team. We want to eventually help tens of millions of students worldwide change their lives through data science education, and you’ll play a key role in helping us get there.

Who Should Apply?:

We’re looking for someone who can build and lead a high-performing, student-focused, engineering team. While you’ll need to understand the technical nuances of our stack and architecture, you’ll be spending almost all of your time on management. We expect that your week will be 30% assisting and answering questions, 30% planning, 30% code review, and 10% coding. Over time, as the team grows, this will skew more heavily away from coding and code review, making it all the more important that you understand and welcome the challenges of management.
While programming won’t be your main function, you’ll still need strong technical ability. As an engineering leader, you’ll asked to bring technical insight to strategy, architecture, and roadmap discussions. We have a team of talented and capable engineers. You’ll be counted on as a trusted mentor, helping grow their skills and careers. Technical skills and familiarity with our stack are critical for this.
You should want to judge your performance by the performance of the engineering team as a whole. Ideally, you take delight in finding meaningful ways to connect with and grow your team’s performance and effectiveness, while fostering a culture focused on impact and ownership with accountability. You’ll need to be comfortable enforcing our values, and providing a clear and shared understanding of the team’s direction and priorities.
You’ll need to be an effective communicator, as you’ll collaborate with the content, marketing, and support teams. It’s important that you have experience communicating across all layers of an organization.

How You’ll Contribute:

  • Help us grow the team from 6 to 15 in the next 18-24 months.
  • Establish a strong engineering culture centered around on-time delivery and accountability.
  • Get engineers to buy into team and organizational goals and priorities.
  • Collaborate with other teams effectively.

We’re building products that drive more foot traffic and boost local business profits…and we could use your help.
We’re looking for a passionate, motivated, versatile engineer to join our team. Are you passionate about using technology to help grow local businesses? Are you motivated to jump in and do whatever it takes to get our products to the next level? Are you a versatile person who can put your head down and hack on a bug for hours until it’s squashed; help define the best way to build a new feature based on customer feedback; and then join the team for a pint and some debate on which local brewery has the best IPA? Then you might be the right fit for us.

Experienced React Engineer

Instinct Science is a Philadelphia-based animal health company working on a meaningful technology solution for state-of-the-art veterinary hospitals.
We gaining rapid early traction and looking for a full time FE (React) Developer to grow our team. Experience with React in production is required. 
We’re committed to building a small, fun, and pleasant work environment and we’re devoted to remote work so geographic location isn’t important to us as long as you can overlap half of your day with 8a-5p EST.

Director of Optimization

What We Do

Simply put, we make websites easier to use. Through a scientific method of determining which site improvements result in actual performance improvements, we replace the old way of designing sites through gut feel and management opinions with designing sites through data. Tactically speaking, clients come to us for both strategic direction and to supplement their internal teams.

Director of Optimization

As a Director of Optimization at Cro Metrics, you will be a player/coach overseeing a team of people who are hybrid product manager, strategic thinker, account manager and data analyst. Your primary role is to enable our product managers to be successful. With your passion for helping your team be successful combined with your agency or client-facing experience, you’ll be able to quickly gain the respect of your team in showing them how it’s done while also helping them to develop the skills they’ll need to grow in their own careers. Product Managers spend much of their time interfacing with clients, designers and engineers. On the client side, our Product Managers must be able to generate data-driven ideas that will improve revenue and other key metrics on client websites while being rooted in better understanding what the customer wants.
Our PMs lead all A/B testing and personalization experimentation for the client, which includes the following:
  • Partnering with the client for the ideation, prioritization, road-mapping, design, and approval process for all hypotheses generation and experimentation
  • Diving deep into the results to deliver the data story, learnings and recommendations from the experiment
  • Collaborating with a remote team of engineers, designers and other PMs to support experiment ideation and execution
  • Managing all aspects of the client relationship from daily experiment monitoring to kicking off the renewal process to evangelizing the value of Cro Metrics
The director must be able to do all of these things on their own, and be focused on enabling their team to level up their skills. Expect about 10% travel as you visit key accounts regularly.
In addition, as a Cro Metrics team member, you will:
  • Support the professional growth of the team through leading and/or participating in ongoing training, e.g. book club
  • Engage in non-client related activities that help grow our business, e.g. writing the PM job description or delivering hypotheses and mock-ups for a sales deck
  • Actively participate in our remote culture
If you don’t have previous management experience, an individual contributor role at Cro Metrics might be a possibility. The type of individual contributor who will succeed in this role is strongly correlated with prior management experience since the type of client problems you encounter require solutions that leverage both the client and internal teams typical of strong internal product managers who need to influence teams that don’t report to them.

Who we’re looking for

Our most successful candidates have the following skills/experience/traits:
  • Lifelong learner
  • 10+ years of professional experience working in digital product management. Some experience working with customers either as part of an agency or significant time freelancing is required. Familiarization with Optimizely is a bonus.
  • 5+ years experience managing others. This is primarily a people management position, and you will have a team of high performers, so enabling your team should be the primary reason you’re interested in this job.
  • Demonstrated extremely strong presentation and communication skills.
  • Passion for using data to improve user experiences
  • Built and delivered product roadmaps full of winning and losing ideas
  • Hands-on experience analyzing digital business data to inform decisions and plan strategically
  • Worked cross-functionally in a highly collaborative environment, preferably in a remote capacity
  • Genuinely like working with clients and their distributed stakeholder groups
  • Love product strategy, but obsessed with the details on execution
If you have questions as you go through this, make notes and if we haven’t answered them by the end, feel free to email walter@crometrics.com.
 
Our positions are fully remote and to ensure compliance with all applicable labor laws, are open to U.S.-based applicants only. In general, we are not hiring in Washington state, Oregon state, San Francisco, New York, or New Jersey as it is difficult for distributed companies like ours to hire in those locations.

Benefits

  • Matching 401k on the first 4% of income subject to a 3 month waiting period.
  • 100% remote, continue to work from where you are based. (However, this doesn’t mean ultimate freedom, this is a full time job where you get to work from where you live.)
  • Liberal vacation policy, annual all hands workcation.
  • All the professional gear you need to be successful (e.g. macbook, monitor, and noise-cancelling blackwire headset)

Our Culture

A unique hiring process – we pay you to interview

We’ve found that the best candidates shine most when they are able to participate directly with the team and show their skills in action. This does require some work from you, so we’ll pay you to join the team during a “paid interview”.

Assuming your submission exceeds expectations, we will reach out to schedule a few informal conversations with our team to learn more about you, and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions of us. If all goes well for both you and CROmetrics, we will hire you for a paid interview where you start working with us for up to two weeks (~15 hours max) as a 1099 contractor. This can be done on the side of your current full-time job so there is less risk to you. If both parties like working together, we expand the relationship into a full time W2 role. If not, we go our separate ways and both sides “won” in the deal.
