Description

We are on the lookout for a software engineering manager to lead teams of engineers to take our company to the next level. This won't be your typical cog-in-the-machine type of job. If you're a high achiever with talent, looking for something more than a boring job in a corporate environment, want to work with the best and brightest and don't need to be handheld, this is the job for you. If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10,000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making.
