THE ROLE:

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading a team to execute a defined mission, managing the careers of the team members and their performance, and actively fostering successful group dynamics to help the team accomplish their mission. Managers at this level possess the technical judgment and decision making expected of Staff Software Engineers, often making technical contributions that have a direct impact on the team’s mission. Engineering Managers ensure that their teams have a manageable level of technical complexity and that they are working collaboratively with adjacent teams. They also jointly define goals/OKRs with other stakeholders that contribute to larger strategic efforts.
Engineering Managers work largely independently on defining the scope and impact of their team, and their leadership influence should be evident across multiple groups in addition to their own. When working closely with related teams, they should help support the team health and objectives of those related teams as well as their own.

THE WORK YOU’LL DO:

• Lead one of our teams to successfully deliver to their mission - manage the performance and support the career development of senior and upper-mid-level engineers
• Build and maintain an engineering culture of trust, ownership, and collaboration within the team as well as the department
• Take an active part in hiring and grow the team according to business needs
• Contribute technically within the team’s scope
• Collaborate with Product Managers and other leads on goals and strategies around people, technology, and processes. We expect good candidates to be a strong counterpart for Product/UX, contributing significantly to discovery work in figuring out new process visualizations
• Advocate for the (whole) team; provides upward and outward visibility of the team and their work.
