Engineering Manager / Director en Barcelona o en remoto

Factorial is building the company's operating system. We started by automating human resources, but our goal is to allow companies to gather all their data in a single place to make better decisions. This unique and massive opportunity has accelerated with the digital transformation companies have been through due to Covid-19. The company is five years old, and we've recently raised 80M to keep expanding and building the best product in the market.

We're currently looking for Engineering Managers and Directors for the People Recruitment and Platform Identity teams. As an Engineer Manager / Director in the team, you will be responsible for hiring and coaching the engineers and/or managers in order to achieve the team's goals: to automate all processes for the different roles of the companies that use Factorial.

Being a relatively small team means we are looking for humans who can take real-world problems and find creative solutions with technology. This means that we don't hire specific parts of the stack (we use Rails / React if that's important to you) since we don't want people to feel on a conveyor belt.

Ownership and accountability are our core values: We trust you and your team to decide what to work on and how to deliver it. We believe that the only way to get a fantastic product is to hire the best and fully empower them to make and execute their decisions. After interviewing hundreds of engineers, we've learned that the number #1 reason why people leave companies is that they are not trusted, and therefore they can't make an impact. We do whatever it takes to avoid that at Factorial with culture or failing that, through the process.

Diversity is part of our culture, we have more than 25 countries in our teams and we are infused in an inclusive environment for all employees and candidates. Please feel free to apply in the way it suits you better! (blind resume, identity pronouns, cover letter, etc). We do not discriminate in any aspect, in fact; Factorial encourage everyone to join us!

Despite being a fast-growing startup, we promote a healthy work-life balance. We are a remote-first company, and we understand that work may not be your priority at all times. We expect people to manage their own time and ambitions, we all have good and bad moments, and work shouldn't feel like a burden.
