Job Description
As Engineering Manager in one of our 10 feature teams, you are nurturing the working environment for 5 to 6 engineers. Your ultimate goal is to give them the space and safety they need to thrive, individually and as a whole. They will understand what needs to be built and why, with technically feasible approaches that balance effort and delivery well. Because you empower them, they will contribute their best ideas and find solutions you couldn't have found on your own. You will manage stakeholders and provide guidance for your team to focus on what's important. We foster a blameless culture, learn from mistakes and assume best intentions. Being a role model is very important, especially in managerial positions, so we expect you to listen carefully and self-reflect, but also to provide feedback - favourable or unfavourable. You can count on a product manager and designer dedicated to your team. Apart from your team, you'll also drive topics of great importance on the company level with your engineering manager peer-group.
