Your team

Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more.

Your mission

Our team, Brand Fundamentals, owns the brand domain, and our mission is to ensure that the brand truth can be reliably consumed by humans, systems, and AI. We constantly raise the bar and build the tools that help our customers maintain consistency, while growing their brands.

You’ll lead the Brand Fundamentals teams and play a critical role in elevating our team's performance and capabilities. When leading both backend and frontend engineers in your team, you’ll need a deep understanding of how to architect, plan, and drive implementation in a SaaS product at scale.
