Flight Itinerary (About The Role)

There are plenty of manager types out there, but what we’re looking for is an Engineering Manager who combines leadership with technical expertise—a player/manager capable of not only guiding and mentoring ourengineering teams but also getting hands-on when needed. A developer, the ideal candidate understands engineers on a deeper level and can speak their language fluently, whether in a code review or a team meeting.
This role is about more than just managing; it’s about being in the trenches with your team, representing Software Engineers across the organization while ensuring they thrive in a fun and challenging environment. You’ll inspire innovation while making sure everything stays on course, pushing for bold ideas while maintaining a cautious hand on the wheel.
We all know there are no boring days around Software and managing Software Engineers here is both a responsibility and an adventure.

What Your Journey Will Look Like (Responsibilities)

• Act as a player/manager, guiding engineering teams while still committing code when needed
• Representing assigned teams in various meetings with a full understanding of their projects, workloads, weaknesses and strengths
• Taking great interest in individual engineers through their everyday struggles and spending time improving their respective skills or making space for their personal growth
• Understanding and controlling the technical discussions with the ability to ask the correct questions to find the root causes of problems and unblocking stuck engineers
• Being ultimately responsible for the quality of the delivered features by devising procedures and tools to ensure their correctness at every step of the development
• Ensuring that the communication for both projects and processes is concise and reaches all the relevant people when it has to
• Maintaining an environment of collective responsibility through well-oiled processes and ceremonies that systematically aim to reduce the probability and severity of errors
• Foreseeing possible future problems long before they take place and actively working on reducing or eliminating their impact
• Actively questioning the status quo, generating ideas, building consensus and aligning with stakeholders to do things better

What To Pack For This Trip (Qualifications)
