• Take over an engineering team of 6 engineers and 3 QA engineers• Grow the engineering team to currently 30 engineers, 5 DevOps engineers and 5 QA engineers in 4 different geographical regions (San Diego, Latin America, Philippines, and Ukraine)• Work with stake holders and Head of Product to build out the roadmap of the product and prioritize the features so that the engineering teams can run at full velocity• Introduce improvements to processes, tools, and architecture, which allow the team to go from shipping once every two weeks to shipping new features multiple times a day. With the improvements, we have a much more repeatable deliveries of new functionalities with much more confidence• Build out the processes so that teams across several geography can communicate effectively with each other as well as be able to work in the same code with synergy and cohesion• Introduce frameworks and libraries to allow drastic reduction in time spent styling the UI, which allow developers to concentrate a lot more on the actual logic and features. Introduce new architecture to the backend, which make it much more testable and cleaner. These changes allow for quicker feature development• Mentor engineers within the team at all levels about automated testing and clean code. This allows for the velocity to drastically increase and greatly reduce the onboarding of new engineers across all geographies. Put high importance on unit testing and end to end testing so that we can deliver a much higher quality product• Create an open-door atmosphere, where everyone feels that they are working toward a common goal and feel proud of the product that they produce• Manage an acquisition and integrate two engineering teams using 2 different tech stacks. Identify synergies between the two teams and build out the roadmap to integrate the two different tech stacks to reduce redundancy in implementation of features
