About Togetherhood
Togetherhood is a fast-growing technology marketplace that makes it incredibly easy for any school to set up a high-quality enrichment or educational program through our network of outstanding, independent teaching artists. Our mission is to infuse every community with meaningful enrichment and education.
The company was founded by a repeat entrepreneur with a strong track record of success (two acquisitions, one IPO as CPO at Farfetch) and is well-funded by a top-tier venture capital firm.
This job search is for a Head of Engineering or a CTO, depending on experience. We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader to own and scale our entire product development function —including engineering, product management, and design. This is a technical-first role for someone who's grown up in engineering, loves building teams and systems, and is ready to lead a full-stack product development org at a mission-driven startup. You'll partner closely with our founder/CEO on product strategy, while owning the execution: building great software, scaling the team, and embedding generative AI into how and what we build.
Since this is a start up, everybody contributes directly and the right candidate for this role should be an outstanding coder who is able to lead by example. This person should have a deep passion for building technology platforms and products that are scalable and delight customers. Our tech stack includes a C# backend and React front end. This is an incredible opportunity to join a business with a strong social mission led by a marketplace entrepreneur with a strong track record of success.
