Description

Are you a seasoned IT leader who knows how to build great software? Has your company locked all of your technical expertise into meetings and overhead of a typical management role? Would you like to leverage your experience to create a highly efficient engineering organization that manages over 100 software products? 

Trilogy buys established software companies that are struggling and turns them around by rebuilding their products in the cloud. Our operating model delivers 4x more business value with a turnaround time of days rather than weeks, and we are looking for business-savvy leaders to improve it.

This role is about building a software development organization that improves products at scale. Instead of debating architecture for a single product, you will use your expertise to make technical decisions that enhance and simplify the whole system. Enabled by a streamlined organizational structure and automated management activities, you will build an efficient team and deliver business value to thousands of customers while working 40h a week from the comfort of your own home office.

If you miss applying your skills to truly creating great products, we invite you to the most challenging and rewarding leadership role in the industry!

What you will be doing

  • Making technical decisions. You will lead the team in the right direction on the most complex challenges and newest technologies, making decisions that have a company-level impact.
  • Improving the development operation. You will design systems to simplify the development process and guide engineers to consistently deliver with high quality.
  • Getting hands-on with the product. By tackling architecture and coding challenges, you will draw technical insights on how to improve products and solve business issues.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Wasting your time in meetings, committees, and administrative tasks. We have automated management overhead so you can focus on creating business value through hands-on work.
  • High-level strategies without implementation guidelines. Your recommendations must be based on product-level insights.

Key responsibilities

Create a fully-functional, scalable development model capable of transforming hundreds of software products using a full-cloud approach.

Candidate requirements

  • 5+ years of experience with coding or architectural design.
  • 5+ years of leadership experience developing enterprise software products at scale.

Work examples

How do you lead and build a 100% remote software engineering organization at scale? Our culture builds on technical excellence and fact-based decision-making. Software Engineering leaders in our organization define their systems operations by documenting their design and run their systems by making important technical decisions.

Our leaders base their decisions on facts, consider all viable alternatives before picking one, and then explain how the decision needs to be executed. Usually, the facts that these decisions are based on are collected from multiple technical deep dives, identifying the root cause of system-level issues.

These are examples of system design with important technical decisions our organization has produced:
