Requirements
Must:
We are seeking candidates with a minimum of 5 years of experience in leading software engineers for product development. It is preferred that you have experience managing your team's operational health by analyzing work distribution (CapEx, Opex, Maintenance, Billable, and OH) as well as managing the organizational structure of teams, including headcount and non-headcount budgets. You should possess a total of 10 years of combined experience in software engineering, enterprise architecture, and/or DevOps. Working experience with scaled software architecture is crucial, particularly in areas such as performance, redundancy, failover, clustering, and vertical scaling. Experience with AWS cloud solutions, particularly migration from other hosting services, is preferred. Proficiency in source code management patterns, DevOps automation, API design, production operations, and managing production client and server code bases across multiple technology stacks is essential. Additionally, experience with Microsoft SQL Server schema design, queries, and administration is necessary. A background in orchestration, automation, and configuration management processes, as well as related DevOps tools and cloud platforms, is preferred.
Responsibilities
In the role of Engineering Manager, you will lead an organization of 4-10 development and test engineers globally to efficiently produce high-quality deliverables. You will manage team leads, direct reports, or a combination of both, while overseeing multiple deliverables for a product line to ensure they are delivered on time, within scope, and meet quality standards. It will be your responsibility to monitor and instrument processes, produce progress scorecards regularly, and establish a cadence for operational reviews with management that includes quality metrics, coding efficiencies, and improvement plans. You will correlate, report, and drive the adoption of process and continuous improvement initiatives. Additionally, you will recruit and provide leadership, coaching, and career planning for engineering talent, while being accountable for design decisions related to new and existing application development. You will partner with Product Management to consult on solution feasibility and provide high-level effort estimations. It is also essential to make recommendations for technology adoption and framework improvements by analyzing trends, patterns, and best practices in software development. Serving as an evangelist and custodian of technology and product development practices, you will participate in the design and implementation of production cloud-grade services that support high availability.
Description
We are looking for highly motivated self-starters who possess a strong desire to help others and take action. Effective communication skills are critical; you should be able to convey technical concepts in non-technical terms. The ability to work independently as a contributing member of a fast-paced and focused team is essential, as is the capability to multitask and prioritize tasks that have competing deadlines. Strong problem-solving and analytical skills are necessary, along with the ability to work well under pressure. You should be able to socialize ideas and influence decisions even without direct authority. A collaborative nature is ideal, with a strong willingness to dig into problems and learn both independently and by asking questions. Itβs important to consider best-practice standards as well as departmental policies and procedures while performing your duties.
