How you can help make a better world of work

Culture Amp is a rapidly growing company empowering our customers to build Culture First companies. Our market-leading, category-defining Engagement product has been the engine of our success. In 2019 we added an award winning performance management solution to our portfolio. These two products together enable us to deliver highly differentiated, powerful and industry-leading capabilities to our customers.

We are looking for an experienced Team Lead to lead our Reporting Services team, a cross-functional team responsible for the quantitative and qualitative analysis used by all reports in the Engagement product. Your team will own the services responsible for analyzing the data and creating insight for leaders of scale, supporting them to take meaningful action to create a better world of work for millions of employees.

In this high impact role, you will guide a team of engineers in delivering high priority product outcomes. The Reporting Services team is currently working on moving their data ingestion system from a time based polling mechanism to consume the data in real time from a data stream (Kafka). This real time capability will allow them to build more powerful real time insights bringing more value to our customers.

This is a Team Lead role that consists of three key areas: People Leadership, Technical Leadership and Delivery. You will lead your engineers by helping to solve complex problems, unsticking the team and removing blockers so they can do their best work!
