Candidate Requirements At least 5 years of experience writing code 5+ years of leadership experience developing enterprise software products at scale. Experience managing teams from multiple engineering functions (developers, designers, product managers, testers, etc.) Ability to make important technical decisions Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat makes someone successful at this role?Our engineering leaders are deeply technical developers who have the skill and drive to get to the root cause of problems. You will be successful in this role if you seek challenges and are excited by the idea of improving the systems that allow us to ship high-quality software releases for dozens of products each week.How is this role different from most engineering management roles?Unlike the middle-management responsibilities of the industry norm, this role will have you fully focused on the codebase, making architectural decisions and coding to drive improvements to the product. You will lead your team through technical expertise, not task allocation. What is the most challenging aspect of this role?Engineers at our partner organizations work with multiple unique enterprise software solutions. To scale effectively, our engineering managers need to be able to solve technical challenges for any of these products, which offers both a challenge and an opportunity to expand your technical expertise.What does a typical week in this role look like?Because we have automated away non-technical tasks like HR activities, resource allocation, and project management, managers focus on two high-impact activities: diving deep into the team's output to find the source of quality problems and eliminate them, and proposing and implementing ideas to systematically improve quality.What you will learnYou will improve your capability to create high-quality architectural designs. You will hone your technical skills by working with over 100 software products and cutting-edge cloud technologies.Work examplesWe believe making good software architecture decisions is the equivalent of creating a stable foundation for a structure before building it. It’s critical to ensure quality and is hard to fix later. How do you make solid software architecture decisions that support the product functionality requested by a Commercial Product Manager, and at the same time are straightforward for the feature team to implement? The approach starts with understanding the technologies and requirements requested by the Product Manager. The software architecture design then captures the most important technical decisions (ITDs) for Domain Model, Use Cases, C4 System and Container Diagrams. A high quality architecture design ensures that the scope is complete and the design is implementable.DetailsPAY RANGE 400,000 USD/year LOCATION Globally available rolesShareShare There are no public Engineering Leadership roles currently open to candidates in your region.
