Job Description

This is Engineering at Lattice

Lattice’s Engineering team continuously works to better our product and our craft. We use a modern, cutting-edge tech stack and love experimenting with new technologies. We strive for maintainable, robust, and performant code. We’re highly collaborative and continuously iterative and work closely with designers and product managers. We prioritize not only great technical architecture but also an amazing product experience.

The Engagement team’s products are the voice of the employee. Engagement collects feedback from everyone in the organization, surfaces powerful insights that you can explore, and helps leaders at every level to take action on improving their company’s culture. This starts with onboarding surveys that set employees up for success, continues with pulse and engagement surveys that track how they are feeling throughout their time at the company, and extends through to exit surveys in order to capture what could have gone better. Throughout all of this, Engagement empowers employees to safely and anonymously share feedback with leadership, helping to create more engaged employees, resulting in better business results and employee retention.

What You Will Bring to the Table

You have 2+ years of experience directly managing software engineers. In this capacity, you have been responsible for guiding and coaching the development of your direct reports, providing performance feedback, hiring, and fostering a diverse, collaborative, and inclusive team culture.

  • You have an eye for great products and can work with software engineers, product managers, and designers to effectively deliver them.
  • You are willing and able to dive into the code yourself.
