Muck Rack is a fast-growing SaaS platform for PR teams to effectively find the right journalists for their stories, send customized pitches, collaborate as a team, quantify their impact, and more. We index millions of articles from news outlets around the world. Fortune 500 brands, agencies and startups rely on Muck Rack to manage relationships with the media and boost coverage. We plan to develop several new services this year, and to do that we need to expand our tech team, starting with hiring a VP Engineering.
We’re looking for a VP Engineering with experience scaling an engineering team from 10 to 20 members, someone with good ideas on how to best organize the team as it scales, and who has experience managing remote teams (some of our staff work remotely, and we offer remote to all employees). This will also mean defining and enforcing process and policy as well as deciding the services and technologies we use for development.
We expect you to be capable of hands-on work but we would target an 80/20 split between management and coding. As a manager, you’ll be expected to help your team not only at a technical level and through code reviews, but to advance their careers and streamline their working environment.
Along with engineering you will oversee the infrastructure team and must be comfortable with cloud infrastructure, specifically AWS or GCP, and have had experience efficiently scaling, storing and processing large amounts of data.
This will be a job where you’ll wear many different hats—so we’re only looking for candidates that are comfortable being flexible! You should be able to talk to security, infrastructure, app development and management equally. At the same time we would expect you to weigh in on product decisions and have a business sense that can guide your engineering decisions.
Finally, we want to fill this role because we’re planning for the future. We are a profitable, bootstrapped company that is founder owned, with no VC’s to appease. You will not be coming in to put out fires, but to help us build an amazing company.
Tech
Our tech stack includes Python, Django, MySQL, Celery, Redis, Elasticsearch, Nginx, Gunicorn, Varnish, and Ansible. We don’t expect you to have perfect coverage across these, but do expect that you’ll be able to speak to each core technology.
Muck Rack (https://muckrack.com) is looking for talented developers to join our fast-growing tech startup. You’ll be working alongside the CTO and engineering team, and with product managers and designers, to execute major technical projects on Muck Rack, lead the building of new features, and help shape our engineering culture and processes.
Our tech stack includes Python, Django, Celery, SASS, Redis, Elasticsearch, Nginx, Gunicorn, Varnish, and Ansible.
Muck Rack is a remote first company. While we maintain an office in SoHo, NYC, everyone can choose where and when to work, whether it's in the office, at home, in a cafe, or on the beach. Many of our NYC team members spend part of their time working at home. All of our meetings can be attended via video conference, so those not in the office won't miss out. We make use of online tools that facilitate a distributed team, such as Trello, Slack, and Google Hangouts, to name just a few. We're looking for people in any location, whose schedule can overlap at least 4 hours with business hours (9-5) in New York.
You'll be successful if you:
- Have significant experience working on a complex, high-traffic site, particularly at a startup or software-as-a-service company.
- Have extensive experience with Django, Python, and other software in our tech stack, with a willingness to learn in those areas where you have less experience.
- Enjoy working with and collaborating with designers, UX experts, and product managers to create outstanding features.
- Have experience leading other engineers to ship major features on schedule.
- Enjoy helping others grow as developers and become successful.
- Take pride in the quality of the code you write. Your code is readable, testable, and understandable six months later. You adhere to the Zen of Python.
- Are able to manage complexity in a large project, and incur technical debt only after considering the tradeoffs.
- Work well in a fast-paced development environment with testing, continuous integration and multiple daily deploys.
- Can work well with remote developers.
- Have amazing problem-solving skills.
- Are interested in journalism, news, media or social media.
