  • Technical Leadership: Providing mentorship, guidance, decision making, and example implementations to enable engineering teams to deliver the right solutions and outcomes.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Working closely with product, design, engineering, and other stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions; you will be engaged across initiatives spanning Calendly’s entire engineering organization.
  • Planning & Execution: Acting as a hands-on, key contributor and leader on critical “Big Rock” initiatives, delivering high output with high quality; participating in planning to define capabilities, goals, scope, milestones, and work breakdown in a manner that promotes incremental delivery and high impact.
  • Vision & Strategy: Developing and articulating the vision for core technical functions and their capabilities, defining their strategic value, and overseeing their evolution to meet future demands and enhance our overall platform.

What do we need from you?

  • Deep understanding of distributed systems and cloud computing; bonus if you have expertise in relationship graphs and/or Object Modeling.
  • Experience driving zero-to-one development of key technical capabilities.
  • Experience performing a major architectural refactor; bonus if you have experience refactoring a monolithic application into microservices.
  • Expertise building, operating, and maintaining high-traffic, high-availability platforms and systems.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to analyze complex systems to identify root causes and implement effective mitigations and resolutions.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive innovation and propose new solutions or improvements that align with organizational goals.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong collaborative skills and the ability to work effectively within a team, including remote and distributed teams.
  • Proven leadership capabilities with experience mentoring and guiding engineering teams.
  • Ability to adapt to new technologies, changing requirements, and evolving organizational needs.
  • Availability for participation in on-call rotation, ensuring prompt and effective responses to business-critical alerts outside of regular working hours.
  • Must be based in San Francisco Bay Area and available to come into an office as needed.
  • Authorized to work lawfully in the United States of America as Calendly does not engage in immigration sponsorship at this time.
