• Foster a collaborative and open culture
• Ensure the team is building high quality solutions that are consistent with operational best practices
• Coach and develop your team through mentoring, ongoing feedback, and engagement in their career development
• Foster an environment that strives for clear communication, accessibility, and understanding
• Staying up-to-date with the Ruby and Rails community to help support the team’s efforts

Qualifications:

• 5+ years building web applications at scale
• 5+ years Ruby and Rails experience
• 3+ years of engineering people management experience
• Experience as co-maintainer of an open-source project
• Experience with Git and GitHub
• Ability to empathize with a diverse range of engineers
• Experience with hiring, building, and maintaining a high quality team
• You can evaluate the trade-offs for building highly available distributed systems
• Attention to detail, planning, and organization
• Experience managing a distributed team

Who We Are:

GitHub is the developer company. We make it easier for developers to be developers: to work together, to solve challenging problems, and to create the world’s most important technologies. We foster a collaborative community that can come together-as individuals and in teams-to create the future of software and make a difference in the world.

Leadership Principles:

Customer Obsessed – Trust by Default – Ship to Learn – Own the Outcome – Growth Mindset – Global Product, Global Team – Anything is Possible – Practice Kindness

Why You Should Join:

At GitHub, we constantly strive to create an environment that allows our employees (Hubbers) to do the best work of their lives. We’ve designed one of the coolest workspaces in San Francisco (HQ), where many Hubbers work, snack, and create daily. The rest of our Hubbers work remotely around the globe. Check out an updated list of where we can hire here: https://github.com/about/careers/remote

We are also committed to keeping Hubbers healthy, motivated, focused and creative. We’ve designed our top-notch benefits program with these goals in mind. In a nutshell, we’ve built a place where we truly love working, we think you will too.
