Software Engineering Manager
As a Software Engineering Manager you will lead one or more engineering teams delivering new products and supporting our existing products. You will lead recruitment and staff development activities and will be responsible for setting the engineering direction for the team(s) within your area. You will be responsible for developing your staff, both individual contributors and managers. You will pair with peers in product and customer success to ensure that your team(s) deliver world-class products for our customers and continually raise the bar on all aspects of the software development lifecycle.
What you’ll do
- You have led and managed product-focused, high performance software engineering teams, working together to navigate complex and ambiguous problems.
- You understand that technical contribution can take more forms than just writing code in your role; you enable and improve the technical direction of the whole team via influence to have a far wider multiplicative impact than code alone.
- You act as a multiplier, subscribing to the notion of teams being far more powerful than collections of individual engineers.
- You identify with the philosophy and benefits of “disagree, then commit (to a direction)” as a team works in passionate pursuit of the most appropriate solution to a problem.
- You strive and push for that feeling you get when a team you lead is thriving; its members happy and growing in confidence and delivering high quality work to production at a regular, predictable and sustainable cadence.
- You have previously contributed significantly as a Software Engineer and have taken the active decision to focus your career at this point to passionately motivate teams to succeed and deliver more than they thought possible as an individual.
- From these prior fully hands-on engineering days, you have collected extensive technical experience; knowledge of key patterns, risks, engineering enablement techniques, distributed systems knowledge across managed cloud platforms (AWS), testing approaches and more. You apply this experience daily to drive the team and product forward.
