Engineering Manager

​GitBook is a modern documentation platform. Our ambition is to empower teams through a new document standard, suited for modern work and collaboration. GitBook is now used by over 1.5M users and thousands of teams such as Adobe, Netflix, Decathlon, or Google and backed by top partners such as P9 Capital, Notion Capital and Fly VC.

We're currently working on a next product step to redefine "core team work" and with this in mind we're looking for an Engineering Manager to help us build out our processes, support and grow our engineers, and help us deliver quality software.

As our first Engineering Manager, you will be a key participant in setting the tone for our management practice. You will also have the opportunity to hire new engineers, support the organization as it scales, and grow along with the company. This role will present a unique opportunity to be creative and ambitious in your day-to-day work.

First, we will take the time to review your application and we will get back to you within a week, regardless of our decision.

Here's what our process looks like:

1. Discovery call with our Head of Engineering, to ensure there is a correlation between GitBook's expectations, the role and your own expectations. [30 minutes]

2. A structured "career story" interview with two future teammates, where we will walk through your career and learn more about your journey. [60 minutes]

3. A technical interview with two members of our engineering team, where we will explore examples from your prior work and role play some tech-focused scenarios.[45 minutes]

4. Cross-team interview with Product and Support to discuss how you work and communicate across functions [45 minutes]

5. A written "take-home" exercise where we will ask you to present your thoughts and suggestions on issues we've faced at GitBook. You will have the opportunity to do discovery by communicating with the team through Slack and short one-off calls. [~4 hours of work, to be returned within one week, and with compensation].

6. The last discussion will be an opportunity to meet with Samy (co-founder) to learn more about GitBook history, ambition and culture, followed by a conversation with Patrick (Head of Engineering) to answer any remaining questions and gain alignment. [60 minutes total/30 minutes each]

👥Every single team member is a value addition to our culture, so it's important for us to state our values.
