The engineering team at Root strives to be one of the most transformative engineering teams ever. We’re changing the way an industry works by leveraging technology and data to build the best products possible. Even with our significant growth, we operate in small teams that are given ownership over projects and results. We’ve found that the people closest to the problems are the best at solving them. We’re actively hiring Engineering Managers remotely and excited to announce that Root is a “work where it works best” company. Meaning we will support you working in whatever location that works best for you across the US. We will continue to have our headquarters in Columbus and offices in other locations to give more flexibility and more choice about how we live and work.

 

Our tech stack includes:

Ruby / Rails backend, RSpec for testing

Javascript / React Native frontend, Mocha for testing

Small amounts of native iOS and Android

Deployment to AWS ECS using containers

Buildkite for CI

 

We’re scaling rapidly, and we recently launched a $6B IPO:

Engineering Managers at Root are responsible for both technical and managerial leadership of their teams.  Managers are often our strongest individual contributors and we expect them to meet or exceed all of the technical and non-technical expectations of a Senior Software Engineer. 

 

We divide the areas of responsibility for engineers into three major areas:

 

Technical: The skills and knowledge that make up an engineer’s basic problem-solving toolbox.

Planning and Execution: The ability to plan and execute assigned work beyond basic technical solutions.

Working with Others: The ability to work effectively with other engineers and people in other functions.
