Job Description

Tray.io is ushering in the era of the automated organisation

We believe that any organisation can and should automate. With Tray.io, citizen automators throughout organisations can easily automate complex processes through a powerful, flexible platform, and can connect their entire cloud stack thanks to APIs. Today businesses like IBM, GitHub, Reddit, npm, Lyft, and Digital Ocean rely on Tray.io to connect and automate data flow between the tools they use every day. With Tray.io visual workflow builder our customers create automations to drive their business processes without writing a single line of code. Our challenge is to build a cutting-edge product that is powerful and complete while also being beautiful and easy to use.

You'll contribute directly to this mission with a team that fully supports you to do your best work. You'll join humble but fiercely ambitious people like yourself, who also take great pride in what they do, working in a culture built on friendship, transparency, and above all, looking out for one another. You'll have endless opportunities to learn and grow professionally in a fun, fast-paced, and open environment. Plus, you'll get to make your mark at a rapidly-growing company positioned to completely reinvent a multibillion-dollar industry.

"With Tray, we have a group of experts who can help us explore all the possibilities we haven’t even thought of yet.” - Mike Atwood, Executive Director, Client Success / Vox Media

“I can’t emphasize enough just how good the Tray folks are at what they do.” - David Dorman, Director of Growth and Demand / DigitalOcean

Your mission

The Tray.io infrastructure processes millions of requests per day and is a mission-critical component of our customers' businesses. As an Engineer Manager, you will be empowering teams responsible for designing, building and running the fronted software which enables users to visually create connectors integrations and automations that can run reliably and at scale.

The Workflow Builder is a core component of our Frontend Platform and provides a visual way for users to construct and configure complex business automations that route data between different web-based software systems. Our software is used by hundreds of different customers including world-class technology companies.

We’re looking for energetic, charismatic managers with a technical background to support and coach our engineers and help drive technical initiatives that improve our engineering practices. Software Engineers at Tray.io work in interdisciplinary squad teams arranged around a mission, with clear responsibilities and objectives. People are assigned to each squad according to its specific needs, and are trusted to independently ship according to their own roadmap.

As Engineering Manager, your focus will be on helping each team member with their personal and professional development, listening, guiding them through hard times and celebrating their successes. You may also help drive technical initiatives in partnership with senior engineers across multiple teams, such as testing, accessibility or performance.

You will play a key role in helping shape the Tray Platform, so that our customers can successfully run integrations at scale, and ensuring our infrastructure is performant, robust and secure. That said, your primary role is to lead and develop your wonderful team - taking care of hiring, onboarding, mentoring, coaching, career development, and performance management.

We want to build a positive team culture where you're supporting colleagues and empowering them to grow as technical leaders and people. The work that you do enable your team to deliver on time and to roadmap, and will ultimately have an impact on the vision of the Tray Platform itself.

You will be working as part of a friendly, cross-discipline agile team who help each other solve problems on both server and client side. Ideally, you will be an experienced developer and technical leader who has shipped large-scale single page web apps in the past. You will be a forward thinker who can balance day-to-day pragmatism with an eye for future growth of our platform, and showing a product-oriented mindset.

Responsibilities:

  • Supporting, coaching and developing high performing engineers through regular 1:1s, continuous feedback and relationships with team leads.
  • Working closely with the talent team to attract and hire high potential team members from diverse backgrounds.
  • Contributing to management best practices: helping us become an exceptional place to work for the ambitious, highly motivated people that we hire.
  • Helping to build an engineering organisation that can make a success of rapid growth.
  • Partnering with senior engineers to drive technical initiatives that improve our engineering practices.
  • Partnering with tech leads and product managers to ensure delivery squads are properly staffed and able to be highly effective.
