<div class="content-intro"> <h2><strong>About us</strong></h2> <p>Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.). As the industry leader, Sparrow has managed thousands of leaves for hundreds of happy customers like Headspace and Figma.</p> <p>Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave). </p> <p>Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco with remote employees across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.</p> </div><h2><strong>About the role</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight:400;">We are growing quickly and looking for engineering leaders to join our team.
