Scribd | Software Engineers and Technical Engineering Managers | San Francisco | Onsite | VISA
Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to re-imagine the way the world reads. We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.
We are looking for engineering managers who are experienced in leading, coaching and mentoring software development teams that deliver stable, high-quality software. You have a strong technical background and are able to contribute to planning and design discussions, and believe in building teams and practices that scale. You can motivate and instill a strong sense of ownership and pride in your team. You know how to make this team shine and by extension, all of Scribd.
Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with great perks for employees. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you’ve used so far. We have hired many people from these “Who is Hiring?” HN threads, including myself. If you have any questions you can reach out to me directly at adrian at scribd.com or better yet apply directly at https://www.scribd.com/about/engineering
