• Provide regular job performance feedback, hold one-on-ones, and provide career development support to your direct reports
• Foster a dynamic, inclusive, and empowering environment where engineers are inspired to tackle complex challenges and accelerate their career growth
• Play an active role in our recruiting process, helping us to grow our engineering team in any way you can
• Perform code reviews and provide technical and design feedback to the team
• Communicate technical and product decisions to the right people, resolve blocking issues, and collaborate with other leaders across the organization

What you have

• 5+ years as an engineer in a role that was mostly about writing code
• 3+ years of experience as an engineering manager of productive, motivated teams
• A foundation of technical excellence that your team can look up to
• Knowledge of the technology industry to help your team make good tooling and framework decisions setting them up for success
• You understand how to lead by setting context and facilitating collaboration between cross-functional partners in product, design, engineering, and leadership
