Senior Engineering Manager - EMEA Time Zones

View full description

Requirements:

• Be technical and can hold in-depth conversations with direct reports from infra to backend to frontend.
• Know what exceptional engineers look like.
• Hold your team to a high standard and don’t shy away from getting into the details and giving feedback, even to the best folks on your team.
• Be good at thinking about product, business, and maybe even design, but you’re not interested in calling the shots and are more interested in building a team that can make the best decisions without you.
• Think engineering culture and process could use improvement, and you’ve tried or successfully implemented something that sheds the status quo in pursuit of something better.
• Be an excellent and empathetic communicator.

Responsibilities:

• Provide feedback on product and technical specs to help engineers identify where to cut scope or improve quality.
• Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects, and deliver them with little intervention.
• Rethink how we (and the industry) do pull request reviews by aligning on goals with the team, sampling a set of PRs to understand how effective they are, and writing a proposal to the team about what we could change to speed up reviews while giving reviewers the time and space to give useful feedback.
• Design and improve interview tracks based on candidate and team feedback.
• Jump into our systems and code to debug a customer issue, ship a small bug fix, or improve our developer experience.
• Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts.
