What you will be doing

• Practices: Continuously improve engineering practices. As an Engineering Manager you will be expected to lead simple initiatives across Engineering that improve engineering practices.
• Delivery: Just as Product Managers are accountable for what teams build, Engineering Managers are accountable for how the what is delivered to our customers. To implement the how requires a detailed understanding of the what. We expect timely delivery with industry-leading quality and non-functional requirements (e.g. security, performance, etc.).
• Technical: Contribute to the Engineering technical direction and ensure that your teams are aligned with this technical direction. This might mean getting technically involved (e.g. coding, code reviews, etc.) to ensure that the initiatives move forward.
