Stardog, the leading Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform, turns data into knowledge to power more effective digital transformations. Industry leaders including Bosch, eBay, NASA, and Raytheon use Stardog to create a flexible data layer that can support countless applications. One of _Fast Company's_ prestigious [Most Innovative Companies](https://www.stardog.com/blog/fast-company-names-stardog-7th-most-innovative-enterprise/), Stardog is a fast-growing venture-backed company headquartered in Arlington, VA with a globally distributed team.\n\nThe "Suite" of Stardog front end tools serves as the face of our Platform and is comprised of Stardog Studio and Stardog Explorer. Studio provides an IDE-like experience for developers to execute and debug queries and manage Stardog itself while Explorer provides non-technical users a way to search, browse, and explore their Knowledge Graph. Next up is a new tool that will let architects and other subject matter experts visually design and build their Knowledge Graph from the ground up.\n\nWe're looking for a talented individual to be a new team lead, working closely with the VP Engineering, Product Manager, and the rest of the development team, to help us achieve our vision.\n\nAs a Team Lead, you will be responsible for coordinating the team, conducting 1:1's, managing sprints, mentoring your teammates, conducting performance reviews, etc. But, this is a player/coach role, so you will spend time designing and building new features as well. You should expect to spend a lot of time engineering, maybe even the majority, but the responsibilities of being the lead means you will be in meetings, you will deal with HR, there may even be paperwork. You can expect to spend between 10 and 40% of your time on those responsibilities. Therefore, we expect to see leadership experience on your resume.\n\nOur stack is written with Typescript using React, so we're expecting you to be familiar with those technologies. Bonus points if you're familiar with Node.js, Redux, Cypress, and Webpack. Even more of a bonus if you know Sass, or just have some background in UX and design and are familiar with tools like Figma or Sketch.\n\nNo degree? No problem. Having a piece of paper with some fancy words on it like "Computer Science" is great, but not a requirement. You can be an engineer without an engineering degree. What we're looking for is an experienced engineer, who has guided a team before, to come in, work hard, and be passionate about solving our user's problems. We are looking for real engineering work as well as demonstrable experience and skills in a leadership capacity.\n\nWe are a remote-first company. You should be comfortable with, and have experience working remotely. You must have strong communication skills as much of our interactions will be over email, chat, and PR where it's harder to get your point across. Most of the team is in the EST (UTC-5) time zone, so the closer the time zone alignment, the better.\n\nWe will expect to see code! Don't be shy about sharing your work. You can even [check out](https://github.com/stardog-union/stardog.js) some of [ours](https://github.com/stardog-union/stardog-language-servers).\n\nAnd if you want to see what you'll be working on, check out [Explorer](https://explorer.stardog.com/). If you want to learn about the kinds of scale challenges we're building for, read about our [Trillion Edge graph](https://www.stardog.com/blog/trillion-edge-knowledge-graph/). And If you are curious about what it's like to work here, check out a [post](https://www.stardog.com/labs/blog/5-tips-for-recruiting-startup-engineers/) from our CTO and co-founder that talks about our culture, or read the engineering team's [blog](https://www.stardog.com/labs/blog). \n\nLastly, you'll get great benefits, a yearly continuing education stipend, flexible PTO options, and the ability to work whenever and wherever you prefer.\n\n_Stardog is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
