About the role

  • Lead a team of 6-10 engineers and consistently deliver projects that align with our business objectives.
  • Collaborate with the rest of the engineering management team to continually evolve our culture and processes.
  • Work cross-functionally at Chromatic to ensure feature continuity between Chromatic and Storybook and ship work that delights developers.

  • Clear written and verbal communicator who can share thoughts and ideas productively in our distributed, asynchronous environment.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the intuition and empathy to effectively lead a team of folks across time zones and physical locations.
  • Strong opinions, weakly held—someone who pushes back on ideas to drive better outcomes, handles critique without defensiveness, and demonstrates a growth mindset.
  • Focused executor who stays accountable to commitments, contains distractions, and ensures the team delivers consistent progress even when things don't go as planned.
  • Genuinely invested in developer experience, whether you've shipped tools for developers or spent years deeply understanding front-end teams' pain points.
  • 5+ years of professional experience as an engineer in web development (preferred).
  • Experience managing an engineering team in the developer tooling space (preferred).
  • Experience with Storybook or Chromatic (preferred).
