The role
Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will lead the engineering team responsible for Scheduling, one of the most heavily used parts of Deputy. You will lead and grow engineers with a range of experience while helping the team make sound technical decisions and deliver meaningful improvements for customers.
Deputy powers hourly work for more than 1.5 million shift workers across 380,000 workplaces in over 100 countries. Businesses have used the platform to create more than a billion shifts. At the heart of this is Scheduling, where business demand, employee availability, labour costs and compliance come together.
The role combines the complexity of a mature, business-critical product with the opportunity to improve its foundations and shape what comes next. The team is modernising established workflows, improving performance for larger customers and exploring where AI can make scheduling simpler and more effective.
This is a technical engineering leadership role. You will develop a strong understanding of the product and architecture so you can contribute to technical discussions, coach senior engineers and help the team make pragmatic trade-offs. During your first few months, you will spend some time in the codebase and may contribute targeted changes as part of learning the product. Over time, your greatest impact will come through the performance and growth of the team.
