Head of Engineering

San Francisco, CA

Grepr is a deep tech company where we highly value relationships, collaboration, focus, and

execution. As the engineering lead, you will take over a tightly knit high-performing engineering

team, helping us scale the team and product with our market success. You will wear many hats,

not only building a product but a company from the ground up, helping shape it to an exciting

and fun place to work.

Our product uses cutting-edge machine learning to understand patterns in observability data

and uses that information to help companies deliver more reliable software to their customers.

As the VP Eng, you’ll manage the engineering team, inspire and motivate our exceptional ICs,

plan and execute on our product, and help make some of the foundational technical decisions

for our product. You will help us strategize on customer support, engineering execution, and

product delivery. We are well funded by investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Boldstart

Capital.

The role

As an essential part of our small team, you will:

. Be deeply involved in architectural and product discussions and planning.

. Grow, mentor, inspire and nurture a talented engineering team.

. Lead projects from inception to completion, and following through to deliver on changes

needed to make deals happen.

. Deliver an exceptional user experience for our customers.

. Forge strong partnerships with product management to bring our product roadmap to

life.

. Own customer support and success in the initial phases of company growth.

Responsibilities/Desired skills

. Experience in building and scaling real-time data processing applications or AI

applications in a SaaS model, executing on an externally facing product for a b2b

business.

. Experience working with large enterprise customers and the kind of needs and demands

they require.

. Proven ability to guide and inspire an engineering team.

. Demonstrated skill in hiring, training, and mentoring a diverse team of high-performing

engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning, growth, and excellence in software

development and maintenance.

. BS in CS/EE or equivalent with 10+ years of industry experience, including 4+ years in a

technical leadership role.

. Ideally, experience in early stage startups and deep experience in Java and stream

processing systems, especially Apache Flink.

Engineering Culture

We strongly believe that engineering teams work best when everyone is an equally motivated,

strong contributor to the team, and when egos are dropped and communication and feedback

are open and constant. That’s why our motto is “team first”

. We believe being physically

together is the best way to build new systems that are rapidly evolving and to mentor and

onboard new team members. That’s why we’re on-site at our office at 3043 Mission St, San

Francisco, CA, at least 3 days a week.

Benefits

Competitive salary and significant equity as one of the first few people on the team.

Flexible PTO: we really want you to take some time off!

100% paid healthcare coverage for employees and 80% coverage for their dependents

Ultimately, a company is the people that form it, and we want to build a place where people will

do the best work of their lives. You’ll have a huge impact in helping us figure out all the right

pieces to make it an amazing place to work. I hope that makes it as exciting for you as it does

for me.
