Two exciting opportunities for Engineering Manager roles are open within our Integration and TACO (Activation & Continuous Onboarding) Teams.
This is done through browser extensions, native integrations with MS Office and many others.

They provide users with helpful onboarding content in multiple languages, while considering accessibility and SEO, and ensuring they gather user feedback to iterate and improve our onboarding journeys.

Both teams are cross-functional and combine the expertise of web & full stack engineers, QA, product design, product marketing, UX, as well as an engineering and a product manager.

The core purpose of the Engineering Manager role is to develop a product engineering team to an autonomous, high performing stage:

Collaborating with key stakeholders, represent the team's engineering perspective on the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and time-to-market aspects of new or existing services and products.

Ensure timely delivery of new features, maintain existing ones, and establish high engineering excellence metrics.

Actively contribute to resolving technical issues and challenges by participating in code reviews, system design discussions, and occasionally engaging in hands-on coding to support team members.

People Leadership:
Inspire, develop, recruit, and motivate a cross-functional engineering team.

Ensure the team's development process methodology is optimal, actively participate in building and maintaining the technical roadmap, and take ownership of technical incident management.

Dedicate time and resources to quality efforts, maintain a current knowledge base and documentation for the team's services and artifacts, and coordinate resource planning in collaboration with the Senior Engineering Manager and Craft Leads as needed.

Not directly involved in software delivery, the role necessitates a profound understanding of technical architecture, potential challenges, and aligning the team's work with broader organizational goals.

Qualities we look for
High level of hands-on technical experience in software development and architecture, web technologies a plus
Strong understanding of software delivery methodologies
Excellent communication skills in English with a strong sense of empathy and a solutions-oriented mindset
