We're looking for a Technical Lead to help us grow and mature the Zendesk Talk product. In this role you'll provide a team with support to grow and perform. In addition, you'll work as a code contributing Engineer, mainly in Ruby/Rails and JavaScript/React. This is a hands-on role, where you'll spend 50% of your day in the codebase with the rest working on process improvement initiatives, mentoring and a guiding the team's workflow.

Previous experience leading a team is a nice bonus but not essential for this role, as you will be supported by an Engineering Manager and a peer Team Lead. If you get your thrills from the success of the people around you, nerd out over what makes a successful team, and aspire to perfect your communication abilities, this could be the job for you!

What you get to do every day:

Create an inclusive environment that is conducive to happy and productive work for you and your team.

Support your team members in their goals - technical, career and personal.

Work collaboratively with a small focused team on a real-time application that needs to be robust, scalable and maintainable.

Participate in every stage of the development life-cycle including feature conception, design, implementation, testing, rollout and making everything run smoothly & safely in production.

Follow and improve our practices at every stage of development: spiking/prototyping, pairing, peer code review and design review.

What you bring to the role:

Plenty of experience in building great products and some of that with Rails and/or React, ideally both.

Truly great communication and collaboration skills.

A passion for sustaining a healthy and effective work environment.

Nice to have:

Experience with distributed systems, and/or message queues, e.g. PubSub or Kafka.

Working at really big (think global!) scale.

Interview process:Our hiring process generally involves a coding exercise, a phone screen with the hiring manager and then a visit to our Dublin office to meet the rest of the team. We'll try and keep it moving quickly and be as transparent as possible.
