Job Description:
OurFamilyWizard is a technology company on a mission to help
families thrive across all of life's circumstances. We bring
together two leading family management brands: OurFamilyWizard, the
world's most trusted co-parenting application, and Cozi, the #1
family organizing app.
Cozi is the leading family calendar and organizing app, helping
millions of families manage busy family life and receiving over
250,000 5-star ratings. OurFamilyWizard is a SaaS technology
platform that enables families to co-parent seamlessly across
households. Nearly one million parents and family law practitioners
have leveraged OurFamilyWizard to coordinate schedules, record
documentation, exchange digital payments, and settle disputes.
Together, the platforms provide a holistic set of solutions for all
types of families.
We recently received a private investment round from Spectrum
Equity, putting Cozi and OurFamilyWizard in the same neighborhood
as Grubhub, Ancestry.com, Headspace, and others. We are looking for
passionate team members to join us in accelerating our growth to
the next level by reaching the millions of families who can benefit
from our technology solutions.
As a Senior Engineering Manager with OurFamilyWizard you will be
guiding, coaching, and leading a technical team focused on making
life a little bit easier for families on their co-parenting
journey. You will be responsible for nurturing your team by
supporting the growth of engineers on the team and establishing
strong engineering practices. We will rely on you to help your team
to identify "how" a problem is solved, and plan for "when" it will
be delivered.
You like spending your time leading a team, relying on their
technical input, and supporting a diverse collection of individuals
in coming together to solve problems and create products that as a
whole are greater than the sum of their parts.
What you will accomplish:
Building relationships, developing trust.
The first 30 days will be spent building rapport with reports,
product and engineering peers, and partners across the business.
This initial acclimation period will have you immersed in our
product lifecycle rituals including planning new work, conducting
sprints, releasing code to production, and maintaining and
sustaining existing features. Our expectation is that by the end of
your initial month you are driving standup meetings, meeting 1:1
with direct reports, and building partnerships with peers and
teammates who are critical to the team's operations.
Focusing on consistency.
By day 60, our sprint estimations should be accurate within a -30%
margin. You will support consistent execution that minimizes
disruption by advocating for simple solutions, ensuring complexity
is aligned to value, coaching the team on technical best practices,
facilitating collaboration, and keeping tasks small and
approachable. You'll facilitate a collaborative approach to
addressing challenges with a sustained focus on customer value:
what is the pain point to families, why are we solving it (now),
and finally how?
Organizational impact.
Beyond the first couple of months, you'll have opportunities to
affect org-wide change as it relates to appropriate career
laddering, growth opportunities for engineers, performance
management processes, and aligning staff to product and engineering
challenges.
Measure What Matters.
Going into your third month, we're hoping for an audit of our
current tech stack and reporting capabilities. We're continuously
improving, and excited to have a new leader bring a fresh,
pragmatic perspective to help us upgrade existing tools,implement
new technology, reorient the team around new priority metrics, and
drive towards creating a greater evidence-based technical
culture.

Why Join?
Great mission. Creating a safe and productive environment for
families to co-exist is extremely important for us; we've been
doing it for 20 years and are deeply motivated by adding value to
the lives of parents, children, and practitioners.
Growing team. While we've been around for a while, we continue to
evolve and innovate. That's what keeps us going! You'll have an
opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our organization as we
hit our second stride.
Amazing Culture. OurFamilyWizard has a positive and supportive
culture-we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to
be a little better every single day. In our work together, we aim
to be smart, humble, hardworking and, above all, collaborative.
