Engineering Manager

About the role

PEOPLE LEADERSHIP & TEAM CRAFT Directly manage a team of 4+ engineers. Own their growth and performance end-to-end - regular 1:1s, growth plans, performance reviews, compensation recommendations, and timely, candid feedback. Run performance cycles in partnership with your manager, navigating the most sensitive situations with support from senior leadership. Own hiring for your team. Partner with recruiting to scope roles, run interview loops, and play a central role in evaluating engineering candidates and shaping hiring decisions. Build a team with clear roles, healthy collaboration patterns, and strong engagement, and take ownership of improving the experience of more junior members of the team. Deliver feedback proactively and partner on solutions. Offer timely, unprompted feedback that integrates new context as it emerges, co-create next steps with the recipient, and know when escalation is appropriate. Develop engineering talent. Demonstrate success in growing engineers, and establish formal mentoring relationships with more junior engineers - through pairing, design feedback, and code review. Be a steadying force and a positive influence. Provide team stability through priority and business shifts, bring everyone into the conversation, advocate for the growth and success of others, and publicly celebrate the achievements of your teammates. TECHNICAL DIRECTION & EXECUTION Define and own your team's roadmap and technical direction. Influence team priorities to match business objectives, lead service-level planning and technical strategy discussions, and translate company strategy into sequenced, well-scoped engineering work. Own planning and prioritization for large initiatives. In partnership with leadership, estimate and manage timelines and risk, define success criteria, bring teammates along throughout the planning process, and sequence work so it can be spread efficiently across multiple people. Guide your team through ambiguous, broadly scoped work - major refactors, new services, and other impactful changes - driving end-to-end resolution of complex problems by drawing on both established and new techniques. Maintain strong technical proficiency. Stay highly proficient in one or more technical areas and effective across a wide range, with a deep enough understanding of your team's systems to contribute across its entire domain of ownership. Take ownership of transferring knowledge to less-experienced teammates to support scalability and reduce single points of failure. Hold a high quality bar. Identify where code structure and architecture can be improved for testability and maintainability and bring well-formed proposals to the team. Provide thorough, constructive code review that goes beyond functionality to how code should be structured for future reliability and maintainability. Make pragmatic trade-offs. Make
