The core purpose of the Engineering Manager role is to develop an engineering team to an autonomous, high performing stage:

• Delivery & Excellence: Collaborate with stakeholders, representing the team’s quality perspective on new or existing services and products, focusing on testability and automation potential. Align roadmaps with priorities, ensure new features enable timely delivery with integrated testing, and establish high-level engineering excellence metrics for automated quality. Provide strong technical oversight by resolving complex automation challenges, participating in test framework design, and driving robust test automation strategies. Drive continuous improvement of DeepL, practices, and technology, emphasizing increased test automation coverage and efficiency for high-pace, high-quality delivery.
• People Leadership: Inspire, develop, recruit, and motivate a cross-functional quality engineering & automation team. Conduct regular 1:1s with team members, set individual development or improvement plans, and foster a healthy, non-retaliatory feedback culture within the team.
• Team Management: As a collaborative partner with other engineering leads, jointly oversee the team’s strategy, quarterly goals, and business-technical metrics. Ensure the team’s development process methodology is optimal, actively participate in building and maintaining the technical roadmap, and take ownership of technical incident management. Dedicate time and resources to quality efforts, maintain a current knowledge base and documentation for the team’s services and artifacts, and coordinate resource planning in collaboration with the DevEx track lead and track Leads as needed.
• Manage growth: You derive satisfaction from navigating change and collaboratively discovering innovative solutions with your team and various stakeholders within a dynamic and evolving environment.
• Strategic Leadership: Responsibility includes guiding the strategic direction of the team’s engagements and collaborating with stakeholders on the overall DeepL testing strategy. Not directly hands-on in delivering, the role necessitates an understanding and ability to translate business needs into clear, actionable testing requirements for engineers. A profound understanding of technical architecture, potential challenges, and aligning the team’s work with broader organizational goals.
