Scribd | Technical Engineering Manager - Search Team | 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’re looking for someone who is 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 and care about software engineering standards and methodologies. You know how to make this team shine and by extension, all of Scribd. We are a small team which means you can have a ton of impact and bring in your own ideas. 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 a bunch of people from these threads, including myself. If you have any questions you can reach out to me directly at nikos at scribd.com or better yet apply directly at https://www.scribd.com/about/engineering
