Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Remote (United States)

Join the Gaggle team and help make a difference in the lives of K-12 students throughout the United States! Gaggle has a long track record of success in schools and has been growing profitably at more than 20% each year. We’re a group of about 100 dedicated people creating superior technology to assist schools in preventing bullying, school violence and self-harm such as cutting and suicide. The work is unequivocally worthwhile – we saved 722 student lives last year alone.

We’re looking for someone with a thirst for both excellence and purpose – someone who works well remotely, is motivating to a team of highly skilled individuals and who wants to stay with an established company for 5+ years. Our top candidate will have experience leading a technology team that has adapted to increasing YOY company growth (both financial and headcount).

As the CTO, not only will you be responsible for overseeing all technical aspects of the company, but you’ll be helping to lead an organization that offers what other tech start-ups or IT roles cannot: a remote, flexible work environment, a stable job in what is otherwise a constantly changing field as well as a chance to make a real difference in the lives of millions of students across the country. Not only that, but you’re leading a fantastic team of twenty-eight USA-based tenured, talented and dedicated individuals (such as System Administrators, Java Developers and Machine Learning Engineers, to name a few) who want to see Gaggle succeed and are invested in your leadership.

Baseline CTO Requirements:

In collaboration with the Chief Executive Officer, the CTO leads all aspects of Gaggle’s technological development
Highly proficient in the technology we use: Java, JetBrains, mySQL, Atlassian Tool (Jira & Confluence), Slack, Tableau and Amazon Web Services
Acts as a leader: the CTO actively communicates, inspires, values and motivates all levels of staff as well as thinking and acting both strategically, collaboratively and proactively
Possesses strong writing and presentation skills
Works in a consultative fashion with other department heads as an advisor of technologies that may improve efficiency and effectiveness
Provides leadership to department heads in a fashion that supports Gaggle’s culture, mission and values
Conducts research and case studies on leading-edge technologies and makes determinations on the probability of implementation
Acts as a good steward of Gaggle’s resources and ensures control of IT departmental budgets
BS in related field and at least 15 years’ experience in the Information Technology arena, at least 10 years management and strategic experience in this field; alternatively, MBA/MS in related field with 10 years’ experience, 7 of which must be managerial and strategic

If our mission resonates and you feel you are qualified for this role, we’d love to hear from you! Although this position will be open until filled, priority will be given to applicants who submit their resumes and cover letters by 12/31/19. Please send your application materials to resumes@gaggle.net.

Please note: although this is a remote role, the successful candidate must reside in and be authorized to work in the United States.

Are you interested in saving kids’ lives with innovative products at a scale that boggles most people’s minds? At Gaggle, we are NOT looking for a developer to build just another business product or app. We’re intensely passionate about what we do: saving lives and protecting kids. We’re driven to deliver quality tools that prevent suicide, self-harm, violence and bullying by helping schools identify students in crisis.

We want a developer who is customer and product-quality focused and who will bring passion, experience and ability to our team: a person who knows how to build high-quality, high-value features rapidly and wants to make a positive impact.

What will you do each day? While coding and product delivery of Java-based microservices utilizing multiple AWS APIs as your core focus, some days, you will be working with the product team to identify and design new product features. Other days, you will look for ways to improve our process and efficiencies through clean code with an eye toward reusability and maintainability.

You will use your experience to clearly design and deliver important and high-value work. Collaboration with your peers, product managers and others on the technical team will allow Gaggle to define, build, and launch new and improved functionality.

Requirements:

Strong familiarity with multiple AWS technologies (Lambda, DynamoDB SQS, ECS, API Gateway, Cloudformation, etc.)
Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a team player.
Minimum 5 years experience with Java development with an in depth knowledge of the language.
Docker container experience
Experience developing and scaling services in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment leveraging the Swagger API toolkit
Development experience in an Agile environment
Frameworks and Testing frameworks: Spring, Guice, JUnit, Mockito, etc.
Experience with version control systems, particularly git
US-based, home office (remote) capabilities required
Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science/Software Engineering or equivalent experience

Although applications will be accepted until the position is filled, candidates are strongly encouraged to submit a cover letter and resume by December 31, 2019. PDF is highly preferred over Word or any other format for both the cover letter and resume.

The position will offer a competitive compensation package composed of salary commensurate with the candidate’s level of experience.
Employee benefits include, but are not limited to medical, dental and vision and participation in Gaggle's 401(k).
