Engineering Manager, Vendor

About Kojo

It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.

Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.

We’re hiring a hands-on Vendor Integrations Engineering Manager, building product features that connect third-party vendors with Kojo for the purpose of providing value to our customers.

About the role

This role will include:

• Making hands-on contributions to the goals of Kojo’s vendor crew in the areas of building/testing/deploying code

• Managing the vendor team of software engineers and ensuring that they are delivering on the right priorities (and neither drop the ball nor get side tracked by distractions)

• Supporting product manager and vendor partner managers by answering technical questions from vendors and partnering with vendors to build integrations

• Shepherding quarterly planning process for the the vendor crew, including cataloging and managing our technical debt and making continuous improvements to ongoing areas of technical challenges

• Participating in engineering incident response and applying high standards of stability and maintainability to the area of ownership

• Managing projects by coordinating across product, design, and engineering, scoping tickets, unblocking engineers, and considering interactions with other parts of the product

• Representing the vendor team’s abilities and growth opportunities to the rest of engineering and senior leadership

If you want to be a part of a quickly scaling startup that is investing in improving our process and technology, this is the position for you.

What you’ve accomplished:

• Strong technical background, and proven track record of building complex customer-facing SaaS products (7+ years professional and management experience preferred)

• Experience working with Github, CI/CD, AWS, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, node.js/TypeScript (or a similar tech stack)

• Experience in collaboration across timezones and effective leadership in a remote environment
