ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Software Engineering Manager at LessonUp, you’ll be joining a mission-driven team eager to make an impact. You will contribute to a platform that is used daily by thousands of teachers—not only in the Netherlands, but globally.
You’ll be joining a dynamic and collaborative environment at LessonUp, with three development teams: two multidisciplinary teams and one backend-focused team. Each full-stack team consists of around five developers, a tech lead, a designer, and a product manager, all supported by a dedicated QA team. We work in an agile way using Scrum, focusing on delivering valuable outcomes at the end of every sprint. Our goal is to consistently deliver high-quality software that meets our users’ needs. We value teamwork, continuous improvement, and creating an environment where every team member can contribute to their fullest potential.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Manage a team of 15+ developers (currently 10 internal and 5 external), focusing on their growth, happiness, and career progress.
• Meet regularly with team members for one-on-one sessions, offering coaching, feedback and tracking personal and career development goals.
• Help with hiring and onboarding new engineers to make sure they settle in smoothly.
• Work closely with Tech Leads and Product Managers to set clear goals and boost team performance.
• Promote good teamwork and clear communication between engineering, product, design, and QA teams.
