Who We Are:

We believe passion and personality matter. As such, we need someone who can lead diverse, smart, and driven engineers while balancing personnel challenges with business and consumer requirements. As an Engineering Manager will:

Our ultimate goal is to ‘ship it ’, so it’s imperative that the engineering manager:

• Brings a strong perspective that inspires change and motivates engineers to develop simple solutions to sophisticated problems.

• Works with tech leads and senior engineers to capture requirements, gut check new feature proposals, and guide large improvements.

• Has the technical capacity to partner with tech leads and is comfortable diving into the fray to help drive resolution in the case of bad incidents.

Who You Are:

A successful engineering manager will communicate fearlessly to build trust. We need leaders who take active roles in shaping the future of Twitter engineering while embodying our core values. This means the manager will:

• Initiate collaboration with Design, Product and Research and Data Science to develop high quality, focused products (and inspire your team to independently initiate this same collaboration).

• Seek diverse perspectives to drive bottom-up innovation and create buy-in from all technical stakeholders inside and outside the team.

• Develop a sophisticated understanding of Twitter’s developer community and processes. Be a strong advocate for your platform and make thoughtful changes to improve communication and collaboration of developers across teams.

• Ensure the team fully understands the goals and objectives of Twitter as a company and how their work fits into 'the bigger picture.

Qualifications:

• B.S. or Masters in Computer Science with 5+ years of experience

• 2+ years of experience managing or tech leading software engineering teams

• Previously lead or managed a team of 6-8 engineers

• Experience shipping high scale systems and product a plus
