Software Engineer Lead, Grammarly Business

Grammarly is excited to offer a remote-first hybrid working model. Team members can work primarily remotely in the United States, Canada, Ukraine, Germany, Poland, or Portugal. Conditions permitting, teams will meet in person a few weeks every quarter at one of Grammarly's hubs in San Francisco, Kyiv, New York, Vancouver, and Berlin, or in a workspace in Kraków.

We believe this balanced, flexible approach gives our team members the best of both worlds: plenty of focus time along with in-person collaboration that fosters trust, unlocks creativity, and further fuels innovation.

Grammarly team members in this role are required to live within a daily commutable distance to San Francisco. Grammarly may provide relocation assistance.

Our team members have the autonomy to take on exciting challenges in pursuit of our mission to improve lives by improving communication.

We’re defining the communication assistance category for individuals, enterprises, and developers with tailored service offerings: Grammarly Premium, Grammarly Business, Grammarly for Education, and Grammarly for Developers. All of this begins with our team collaborating in an inclusive, values-driven, and learning-oriented environment.

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer Lead to join our Grammarly Business team, whose work directly impacts millions of users and thousands of organizations. The goal of the Grammarly Business team is to develop features and capabilities that help teams and organizations be more effective and productive in their communication. This group is made up of curious life-long learners who get excited about delivering impactful product offerings to our customers and solving novel technical challenges at scale. As the company and our B2B business grow, the number of large cross-functional projects grows with it, demanding a dedicated role to oversee this new collaboration and coordination.

Grammarly’s engineers, researchers, and business stakeholders have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical and business challenges are growing rapidly as we expand and scale our product offerings. Read more about our stack or hear from our team on our technical blog.
