The Role

You are passionate about optimizing your team. As a software engineering manager, you debug your team as you do your code – iterating to increase efficiency, morale and quality of output.  You come from a development background with exposure to a diverse array of technology, and are able to objectively analyze criteria and make decisions for your projects to produce the best outcome.

As a development team member, you can deliver simple, clean code that is tested and testable. You’re able to lead your team to the information they need to make good decisions, in many cases by example. You carefully evaluate and communicate the merits and costs of design choices, not only on how it impacts the users of the software but also how it impacts implementation and architecture. You are comfortable working in multiple programming languages, and can comfortably plan for infrastructure/devops requirements for a project.

Overall, you will be building the team’s roadmap with project stakeholders, guiding and evaluating progress, communicating with product leads and helping to shape the product, and building the best possible software in the context of the product goals.
