WorkStep is the leading employee engagement platform for the frontline. Our comprehensive solution brings HR and Operations teams together to help reduce turnover, increase productivity, and engage the hourly workforce. With WorkStep, leaders gather the feedback they need to take action and drive their business forward.
Our mission is simple: to make the supply chain a better place to work. WorkStep’s holistic employee engagement solution ties feedback to business outcomes and empowers leaders to drive meaningful, organizational change. By bringing comprehensive listening, predictive analytics and workforce communication together in one solution, WorkStep gives companies within e-commerce, manufacturing, retail, CPG, transportation, and logistics the tools they need to take action and transform their business.
We are seeking an experienced software leader to join our growing team as Director of Platform Engineering. This role will work closely with and report directly to the CTO, and will play a crucial role in ensuring the scalability, security, and reliability of our systems. This role will manage an existing team of 3 senior software engineers, and will be expected to recruit, onboard, and manage more high-performing teammates. The team currently owns and maintains many internal and external systems, including testing, CI/CD, infrastructure, monitoring, IaC, and many shared services.
This position requires a strategic thinker who can collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams as well as build and navigate a roadmap for long-term scalability and flexibility. This person will be expected to set the architectural direction of our software and make effective trade-offs to meet the business requirements of a quickly growing enterprise SaaS startup. The ideal candidate won't be afraid to roll up their sleeves and occasionally commit changes in support of getting things done.
WorkStep is built primarily on Google Cloud. The application uses a MySQL database and is written in Python on the backend and React for the UI. We use Ansible for configuration management, Terraform for IaC, and New Relic for monitoring.
