Engineering Team Lead

🚀 SmartRecruiters is building an operating system (SaaS product hosted on AWS and GCP) for recruiting and is on a mission to connect people with jobs at scale. The company is growing quickly and recently hit the 1.5 billion dollar valuation. The system is used by over 4,000 companies, including employees at LinkedIn, McDonald's, CD Bosch, Allegro, and many more! Our engineering team solves one of the most important problems of the modern economy - connecting great people with great jobs. We supported over 100M job seekers to date! 💪 🚀 

Our system is composed of hundreds of independent services (each sitting on Docker, orchestrated by Kubernetes). We build most of our services in Java and do over 2000 production deployments per month, maintaining an uptime of 99.98. We designed our R&D structure based on the empowered product teams model. It means our teams are responsible for business outcomes and have autonomy in solving problems in the way that “customers love yet work for the business” (yes, we are heavily influenced by this and that).

🚀 Our engineering organization is built with small, cross-functional teams where Engineers, Product Managers, and Product Designers work side by side to solve customer problems. Each team owns a part of our business and takes care of it, from feature ideas to usage analysis.

Data Bandits Team ensures Smart Recruiters customers the seamless experience of candidate search, data analytics, and reporting. Data Bandits also provides data replication tools for product teams.
