Description

About Valley:

Valley is building an AI SDR that can book meetings on LinkedIn and email for 10x less than hiring an agency or human SDR. Valley is built to take a cold random stranger on LinkedIn or email and turn them into booked meetings. Learn more about us at www.joinvalley.co.

The Mission:

We want to create time for some of the world's most imaginative, creative, and inventive people - founders. Valley saves the average founder 10 hours per week or creates ten new hours for them to focus on other parts of their business. We want to create 1M hours in the world through sales automation and, in doing so, help businesses grow faster, cheaper, and more effectively than ever before.

Job Description:

We are seeking a dynamic and energetic Head of Engineering / CTO to lead our remote development team. This could begin as a part-time role or a full-time role and will be on a contract basis until we find the right fit. The role will allow you to jump into leading engineering teams, creating documentation, getting your hands dirty in code, and building at the fastest pace you ever have at an early-stage hyper-growth startup.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our engineering team offerings and make a significant impact on our business. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in development, with a focus on B2B SaaS products and a passion for building products that people love. The candidate should be a self-starter with a "get things done" attitude, ready to lead and lay the foundation of the engineering organization at Valley.

Being in NYC & willing to work hybrid is required. We will be hiring key team members in NYC moving forward. The engineering team is remote but working EST hours.

You:

You leap. When you see something you find interesting - you jump in with full force


You don't clock in and out. When there's a fire - you are there with a hose. When there's a win - you are there with a piece of cake. When there is a loss - you rally the team and get to work.

You are responsive. You are available for your team when they need you.


You want to get shit done. Pretty simple :)


You celebrate the wins. Glass of champagne - a cold beer - you're there livin' it up


You bring passionate, contagious, and vibrant energy.
Good vibes = good momentum // good momentum = good startup

You figure it out - learn how to learn, and you can do anything 

You do hard things - easy choices, hard life - hard choices, easy life

You roll with the punches   

You point fingers when you win & hold hands when we lose
