Company: Lambda School
Website: https://lambdaschool.com

Lambda School is a combination of a school and an investment fund. Lambda School's mission is to find untapped or underutilized talent, and to train that talent for the most in-demand jobs in the world. Lambda School is pioneering a new model of higher education in which the school invests in the students, instead of the other way around.

Lambda has just successfully completed its Series B fund raising round with premier tier venture investors. We are operating in 40+ states across the US today and eyeing international expansion opportunities.

Lambda School Studios sources contract opportunities for Lambda School alumni to help bridge the gap between their experience as a student and landing their first full-time job in the industry. Studios provides Product, Project, and Engineering Management to ensure that clients receive the highest quality products.
Lambda School Studios is scaling quickly. The role of Project Manager is fast paced and multi-faceted. The program's goal is two-fold: deliver quality products to clients while giving graduates relevant industry experience. To be successful, you'll need to be comfortable "wearing many hats" and managing complexity.

In addition to assisting leadership in managing tasks at the program level, you'll be responsible for managing multiple client relationships, projects, and development teams. Both of these responsibilities include a broad array of tasks, like directing Section and Team Leads (student employees), documenting processes to ensure consistency across projects and teams, gathering and reporting data, and more. Due to the impact this position has on development teams and client products, candidates must have some experience with product management and software development.

• You’ll work alongside Leadership and Program Managers at both the strategic and tactical level. Examples of potential strategic tasks:
• Work closely with leadership to pinpoint strategic goals and initiatives.
• Decide the right way to approach scaling while still maintaining an engaging program and delivering quality products.
• Determine key metrics to which the program should align.
• Create processes to better mentor and help developers improve.
• Examples of potential tactical tasks:
• Sync daily with Section and Team Leads.
• Interface regularly with clients to understand product goals, deliverables, and timelines.
• Work with a team to ensure on-time product delivery.
• Lead a workshop to help teams better understand how to contribute in an agile work environment.

Finally, this role requires that you be comfortable suggesting and implementing new ideas that improve the quality and integrity of the program. There are always new opportunities for improvement and ways to elevate our standards. Your work will directly impact the user (graduate) experience, satisfaction, quality of completed software products, and go a long way to improving graduates' livelihoods (getting a career in the industry)!


What You'll Do

• Manage and oversee teams to create impressive and successful software products
• Attend check-in meetings with teams to give feedback and guidance regularly
• Monitor individual developer progress and success throughout the Studios experience
• Develop new processes with leadership to improve developer and client experience
• Document strategies and programs for leadership and fellow team members
• Train and supervise student Section Leads and Team Leads
• Instill relevant career readiness knowledge, skills, and attitudes into developers
• Accountable for product completion and quality

What You'll Need

• Minimum 3+ years of experience in a project management role in a software development environment, ideally with remote teams or teams with a large percentage of entry-level engineers
• Passionate about helping others succeed
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable and effective speaking in groups of teams
• Ability to work with a diverse group of individuals
• Self-starting with the ability to effectively work autonomously with little oversight
• Intelligent, dedicated, flexible with a willingness to experiment

Big Plus, if you…

• Have Product Management experience
• Have worked in an engineering organization with 100+ engineers
• Have engineering and/or product experience
• Are familiar with Zoom, Slack, and Airtable
• Have previous experience at a growth stage internet/software company

Company: Mokriya
Website: https://mokriya.com
Headquarters: San Jose, California, United States


Mokriya takes software seriously. We’re pragmatic crafters who believe in smart and focused development, building clients’ products just as we do our own: investing heavily in design, iterating rapidly to validate and falsify ideas, and pursuing perfection in every interaction. We learned a lot of interesting things along the way about the right way to ship software, and we're now bringing our incredible software product experience to larger companies like Verizon, Google, Intel, Twitter, Sony, L'Oréal— and we do this all with a fully distributed team.

We believe that well-made software can change the world, no matter how small or simple a product might be. We also believe that poorly-made software —badly-designed, badly-developed, or badly-supported— is a preventable tragedy.

Mokriya’s mission is to make great software: for ourselves, for our clients and most importantly for our users.


About You

You love to build. When you're not at your job, you're probably tinkering on some contraption in the basement or figuring out how to take apart . You get a thrill from figuring out a clever way to solve a problem. You are a good developer with strong programming fundamentals and you really take pride in knowing the ins and outs of the programming languages and libraries you are working on. You are a product-focused Engineer that cares about details and—this is obvious—you take pride in your work.
If this sounds like you, and you've been working on building backend solutions with Scala, you should apply. We strongly encourage and are proponents of diversity.


Why should I be excited to work here?

First, it’s fun. Not in the “everyone pretend to have fun, we’re a startup, where are the Nerf guns?” way, either. It’s fun to work at Mokriya because beyond the perks and good times, we’re a happy team of people who love to design and build great products. It’s not just that we have a great organizational structure in which everyone is really empowered to act; it’s also that we hire for fit and bring in folks only if we’re confident in their integrity, capability, and drive.

No one will watch over your shoulder, and you won't have to spend time watching over anyone else's either. We’re a talented team of doers. There’s little bureaucracy, and we hate blocking. Our product managers spend their time making sure you can get things done in the way that best suits your preferences and the project needs.

Autonomy, creativity, thoughtfulness, trust: if you care about those things, you'll be happy here. And more importantly, we'd be honored to hire you.

• Collaborate with team members to develop application infrastructure components, following coding, documentation and design standards;
• Understand how existing code works and functions;

Product, design, marketing, sales, and engineering are the main topic areas we cover, mostly within the B2B SaaS/tech field.

We are looking for an editor who specializes in online content and who can help our writers improve over time and across clients in structure, tone, style, and on-page SEO. As much teacher as teammate, this person will review every piece of content at least twice — from the outlining phase to the nearly final draft — and use each review as an opportunity to encourage the writer and drive their continued growth in the craft.

"A real editor isn’t just someone you work with; they are your guide. They see your brain doing its thing and learn its weaknesses and abilities, and if they're really good, they figure out what you need to hear to compensate for the former and accentuate the latter.” - Ariel Levy


An ideal B2B tech/SaaS content editor at Animalz:

• has a proven track record of successful writing and editing for the web, particularly in B2B/tech/SaaS

• is deeply passionate about good content and approaches editing with a creatively curious mindset
• is fascinated by the role technology plays in our day-to-day lives and the ways it continues to shape our future

Requirements:

• Proven writing and editing ability
• Mastery of on-page SEO and how to apply it to each piece of content to provide guidance for writers
• Ability to understand content strategy and edit content to align with it
• Desire to help writers improve their craft and elevate their content to the highest quality
• Experience successfully working with writing/editing customers
• Basic understanding of how content marketing, SEO, email marketing, and social media function, how they can work together to get results, and the different writing/stylistic requirements of each
• Strong interest in the tech/SaaS field and a thorough knowledge of the top content and thought leadership in the field
• Work in North America’s Eastern time zone to support our writers there and in Europe

Responsibilities:

• Edit ~15 B2B articles and outlines per week (~1,500 words each), ensuring they comply with the customer strategy and optimizing them for performance
• Educate our writers around good content in both form/structure and technical aspects (like SEO)
• Provide support and constructive feedback to writers to help them improve their craft

About Animalz

We’re a remote, eclectic team of current and former scientists, journalists, operations folks with a home base in NYC and team members scattered around the world.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company.


About the position

This is a full-time (40 hours per week) remote job. Although we applaud and encourage pursuing your passion projects, we want to make it clear that this is not a freelance/part-time position you can do in tandem with other major professional endeavors.


Benefits

• Work from anywhere you like (during EST business hours)
• Company-sponsored health insurance covering 80% of premium for medical and 99% for vision and dental
• 20 paid days off per year (including holidays)
• Unlimited sick and personal days
