Your Role

As an Engineering Manager, you play a crucial role in the successful delivery of software solutions and the continuous growth of your team members. You will enable and empower engineers to deliver high-quality technical solutions while ensuring productivity, strong collaboration, and alignment of team strategies with business objectives.  

In this role, you will bridge technical leadership, people management, and strategic execution -  balancing engineering excellence, stakeholder engagement, and cross-functional collaboration.  

If you feel this is you, then we'd love to get to know you.

Your Qualifications

You are a hardworking and passionate leader who takes personal ownership of your team's success and the business challenges you aim to solve. You set high standards for yourself and your team. You demonstrate unshakeable integrity and a relentless drive for improvement. You thrive in both technical and leadership discussions—whether with engineers, team owners, or the leadership team —and you can bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy. 

You are an accomplished builder and a leader of high-performance technical teams, ready to tackle your next challenge. You’re always asking why and you have the technical acumen to dive deep when needed, yet retain the ability to focus on higher-level strategic goals.
