Product Engineering Lead

About the role

We’re looking for an exceptional leader to anchor greenfield product engineering efforts in our New York office!

• You’ll directly manage one to two product engineering teams and be accountable for their success.
• You’ll partner closely with the founders and an amazing EPD team to build powerful experiences for all users that drive critical outcomes for the business.
• You’ll have a front seat in shaping the evolution of Hex’s EPD organization.

Product engineering teams at Hex work on things like:

• Hex’s library of cell types, and all the capabilities they support
• Workflows for no code users to easily get data insights from Hex
• A governed, searchable workspace where all users find exactly the data insights they need
• A powerful frontend experience to seamlessly create and edit small and large data projects
• … and more! We’d love to share when we speak with you.

About you

• At least 8+ years of engineering experience, with at least 4+ in a management capacity.
• A keen eye for delightful software experiences, and well calibrated opinions on what will resonate with users, particularly in collaborative SaaS products.
• Genuine interest in deep technical problems and striking the right balance between iteration speed and long term quality.
• Must enjoy being hands-on, e.g. reading RFCs, giving feedback on designs and technical specs, joining customer calls, and using the product frequently.
• Excellent execution track record — able to ship complex, full-stack projects with multiple stakeholders within the context of a top-tier EPD organization.
• Ability to navigate through uncertainty and ambiguity to keep things moving forward. We are still early stage, there is a lot to figure out!
• Clear, proactive communication, particularly with less technical stakeholders. This includes not just what is being built but when and why.
• Inspiring and compassionate people management to lead the team to great achievements while maintaining the flexibility and agility of a startup environment.
• Experience hiring incredible individuals, with the industry connections to attract & sell that talent on Hex.
• Conviction on effective engineering practices that you’d be excited to bring to Hex.
• Bonus: Proven experience or strong curiosity in data products, modern data technologies, and relevant industry trends.
• This role will be hybrid (~2 days per week in office) based out of NYC. 

Our application is primarily written in Typescript and Python, with the main frameworks including React, Node, and Apollo GraphQL. Our stack is primarily EKS on AWS deployed using Scalr, CircleCI, Helm and Terraform.

In addition to our unique culture, Hex proudly offers a competitive total rewards package, including but not limited to, market-benched salary & equity, comprehensive health benefits, and flexible paid time off.

The salary range for this role is: $188,000 - $260,000.
