Job description 

About You

You have experience leading a high-performing engineering teams, including managing and shipping cross-functional or multi-team projects.

You enjoy collaborating with Product Management and UX Design on the product discovery & delivery lifecycle.

You have a passion for understanding customers and their needs, and encourage engineers to do the same.

You have extensive experience in frontend technologies and worked with teams to develop applications and experiences at scale. Hands on exposure to latest tools & technologies (React, GraphQL, Kotlin, AWS etc) is required for the candidate to be successful in this role.

You're endlessly curious about the technologies your team works with and strive to keep your technical knowledge sharp — but you also feel comfortable knowing your greatest impact won't be as a technical contributor.

You’re able to spar with senior engineers on systems design, pulling from your background as a hands-on engineer.

You place a tremendous value on good communication and appreciate async- and remote-friendly working practices. You know how to pick the right communication tool for the problem at hand (chat, video, email, etc.).

You understand methodologies like Agile, XP, and Lean, and see their value, but don't believe there's only one right way to get work done.

You are comfortable with the pace and trade offs of early product development. You know how to take care of yourself and your team, get your work done without working around the clock, prioritise ruthlessly, and tolerate a little uncertainty.

You’re based in India with at least 2 years of relevant engineering management or leadership experience.

You have a U.S. Bachelor or higher degree, or its equivalent, in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems Management or a closely related field of study.

Key Responsibilities:

Enable your teams to ship features quickly and safely, providing them with the tooling and processes needed for success.

Ability to drive technical and operational excellence, pushing innovation and quality.

Grow your team members careers and keep them engaged.

Support your team by holding regular one on ones, giving context on priorities, collaborating with other teams, unblocking projects, and resolving conflicts.

Be both a technical leader and people manager responsible for guiding your teams to make solid technical decisions.

Help to prioritise and coordinate the team’s work alongside your product management and design peers.
