Scribd | Software Engineers and Engineering Managers | San Francisco, Toronto, Amsterdam | ONSITE or REMOTE | VISA

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. A month ago we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...)! We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.

We are hiring software engineers across the board, including recommendations, search, payments, and core platform.

For engineering managers we are looking for someone who is experienced in leading, coaching and mentoring a software development team that delivers stable, high-quality software. You have a strong technical background and are able to contribute to planning and technical design, and believe in building teams and practices that scale. You can motivate and instill a strong sense of ownership and pride in your team.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you’ve used so far.

We have hired many people from these threads, including myself. If you have questions you can reach out to me directly at adrian at scribd.com (I'm the Head of Technology and happy to answer questions related to these roles). Please apply directly via https://jobs.lever.co/scribd?lever-via=ze1h-jCbee
