This is a demanding role, and as an SPL, you should be prepared to wear many hats across all dimensions of Operations. The ideal SPL should have a strong entrepreneurial mindset, be comfortable getting into the weeds, and be excited about intense, impactful work that leads to accelerated career progression.

• Give regular progress updates to Scale’s executive team

Ideally, you’d have:

• Strong technical background (a degree in engineering or computer science is ideal, and at minimum the role requires the ability to do data analytics using SQL or Python).
• 2+ years of experience leading a team, developing product or operational processes, or as a SWE. 
• Strong problem solving capabilities (experience working on operational challenges is a plus) - ability to come up with creative solutions to complex, ambiguous operational problems
• Entrepreneurial experience and mindset - you are excited about building things from scratch and are able to identify issues and execute quickly
