Greenhouse's fast growth and focus on continuous improvement means that you'll see something new every week. Our Engineering Managers are technical and managerial, so you'll use both sides of your brain: writing and reviewing code, designing systems, growing the team, running planning sessions, and mentoring.

We use Ruby on Rails, Javascript and React, with some services written in Golang, Clojure, and Elixir. We take testing seriously, maintain a green CI build, and run our shop with a mix of Kanban/Kaizen and Agile practices.
