Engineering Manager

As a manager:

• You are comfortable managing team members with different skill sets from your own.

• You have the ability to run effective 1-on-1s, group discussions, planning sessions, and retrospectives.
• You are capable of identifying the most high-value projects and keeping your team focused on these projects.

• You can develop processes and remove hurdles to facilitate great and fast execution by your team.

• You are able to make decisions in the presence of ambiguity to create clarity for your reports and teams.
• You value empathetic and direct communication, particularly when giving and receiving feedback.
• You have expertise and interest in growing teams: interviewing junior and senior engineers, collaborating with a recruiting team, smoothly onboarding new team members.
• You have strong data-driven prioritization skills and you are unafraid to say no to any level of authority, when things don't look right.
• You have the ability to make sound "code quality vs speed of development" trade-offs.
