Job description

________This is an example!________ PLEASE READ: these jobs are testing jobs of Lever's testing environment - please do not apply for this job. Lever was founded ten years ago to tackle the most strategic challenge that companies face: how to recruit and hire top talent. We’re building the next generation of hiring software that companies like Netflix, Yelp, Cirque du Soleil, Shopify, and Spotify rely on to grow their teams. We've rethought the talent acquisition paradigm and are the innovation leaders in our space and looking for the right people to join us as we scale. We’re extraordinarily proud of the company we’ve built so far (not to mention humbled to be recognized as the #1 place to work in San Francisco, as well as a top workplace in the entire United States). Our people are Lever’s biggest competitive advantage and we’ll continue investing in our “Leveroos” and people-first culture. **About Brilliant** [Brilliant](https://brilliant.org/) is a tight-knit team of scientists, educators, engineers, designers, storytellers, and illustrators who are redesigning education at scale. We believe that math and science are fascinating and beautiful, but that the tools widely used to teach it are dry and ineffective. Brilliant makes learning STEM fun, through problem solving and interactive explorations – from foundational math and science to cutting-edge computer science and professional topics. Brilliant helps over 9 million students, professionals, and lifelong learners around the world cultivate problem solving skills, build intuition, and master concepts rather than memorize them. To understand more about our approach, see our [learning principles](http://brilliant.org/principles/). You can see all open roles and learn more about our team culture on our [Careers page](https://brilliant.org/careers/). **The Role** Our engineering team is composed of talented and driven problem-solvers. We never stop learning, we teach one another, and we take immense pride in our work. We are looking for a CTO and VP of Engineering to lead our team well, provide mentorship and guidance, and grow the team. You will give engineers the context and confidence to make correct technical decisions, help to develop the team culture, and ensure that the trains run on time. **Your Responsibilities** ### Build a world-class infrastructure - Lead key architecture decisions for Brilliant’s platform for creating interactive content - Coordinate the engineering team to build infrastructure at the right level of abstraction - Participate in all management team meetings and contribute to strategic decision making and long-term planning ### Empower people - Contribute to, and have a long-term vision for, the engineering team culture at the company - Understand engineers’ long-term career goals and provide mentorship on how to work towards them - Conduct 1-1s and performance reviews - Organize team off-sites and training - Help with engineers’ concerns and issues that arise during implementation, and provide necessary context to enable them to consider all trade-offs when making decisions - Recruit new talent to the team ### Solve problems - Understand all engineering domains at the company, and their interconnections, at a high level - Coordinate between engineering and other teams to avoid conflicts and ensure efficient scheduling - Keep track of tech debt, and ensure that regular pay-downs are accommodated in the schedule - Be the first point of contact for debugging tricky situations, and triaging engineering emergencies
