About us
In the last few years, remote and hybrid work has had an explosion in popularity, giving workers an unprecedented level of access to opportunity and an increase in quality of life. However, our existing tools were not set up to do remote work well. Work can be isolating, transactional, and void of the camaraderie that makes everyone feel like they’re in it together.
To solve this, Gather builds virtual offices that bring the best of in-person work to remote. We’ve already seen success with our approach, with over 10,000 remote-first companies using our spaces every day.
And yet it’s still the early days for our broader vision of the Metaverse. We’re excited about how the Metaverse can break down physical constraints that exist today, not just in where you can work, but which friends/family you can see, or what educational opportunities you can have access to.
Join us in this mission!
Role overview:
As a Tech Lead Manager on our product engineering team, you’ll lead a small team of product engineers to build the features that make Gather a delightful remote-work product for tens of thousands of offices and hundreds of thousands of users.
As a lead, you’ll play a key role in shaping the form and function of our product, partnering closely with designers, product managers, and other leads. You’ll also be responsible for defining how we build our product, finding engineering paths that start with rapid experimentation but end with delivering a polished, high-quality product. You’ll build full product lines spanning the likes of work productivity tools, virtual offices and worlds, gaming mechanics, or real-time communication products.
This role will require you to flex both your technical and managerial muscles. You enjoy pursuing technical excellence as much as guiding and supporting a team. In practice, this looks like identifying technical bottlenecks or constraints for your team, while coaching and leading your team to perform at a higher level.

- Manage, mentor, and grow an extremely talented and energetic engineering team
- Work with our largest engineering team to develop the core user-facing experience of Gather
- Work closely with product and design in determining the strategy and direction of your team
- Help define the development process of the team to create a constructive and efficient work environment
- Ability to ruthlessly prioritize in a chaotic and ambiguous environment
- A keen intuition for well-designed, sustainable software and beautiful, usable, interfaces
- Building a culture with high agency and accountability
- High technical quality, receptive to feedback
What you bring:
- 2+ years of management experience
- High technical proficiency in front-end, back-end, or full-stack engineering
- Willingness to spend at least 25% of your time in code
- Strong product sense and ability to ruthlessly prioritize in a chaotic and ambiguous environment
- Ability to manage and prioritize across multiple projects and timelines
- A strong belief in high engineering agency, responsibility, and accountability
- A compassionate but clear and focused approach to leadership and management
- A keen intuition for well-designed software and beautiful, usable interfaces
- Intrinsic motivation and the drive to solve difficult problems without guidance
- An open and growth mindset when giving and receiving feedback
- You are resourceful, have a bias towards action, and love moving fast
- You enjoy spending time understanding customers and are adept and getting to the root problems that your product is uniquely positioned to solve
