About the job

Messaging & Queuing is a product of our cloud ecosystem that is currently under development. It allows our customers to quickly and reliably store and consume asynchronous messages within their software projects. You will be responsible for all the technical aspects of these products, and you will be working with our dedicated Product Manager.

As an Engineering Manager, you will manage your team of engineers, as well as the general engineering for the team. This position will enable you to balance both management and technical roles and skills. All teams work with Agile methods, and often use Scrum. You will monitor collaborative projects via these platforms.

As a manager, you will take care of your team. You will be in charge of administrative tasks like planning, approving vacations requests, and more. An important part of the position is to improve the skills and knowledge of each member of your team by getting to know them well (strengths, weaknesses, and goals). Together, you will find the most efficient way of working as a team. You will also be responsible for monitoring and optimizing the velocity and delivery capacity of your team with the help of your Product Manager.

One of your goals as an EM will be to speak to other teams and their managers to carry out your technical tasks, for instance by requesting what your team needs to build its product. As your job will be to maintain a managed queuing product, you have to show a keen interest in this type of technology, have experience using it within software projects, and understand how it works and how it’s used. Your team’s main programming language is Golang. As an Engineering Manager you will also write code, solve request tickets, and manage the infrastructure required by the product.

One of your key responsibilities will be to avoid over-engineering, and always find a pragmatic approach when a technical problem arises. You won’t be a cloud user, you will be a cloud builder.

You will also be a facilitator for your team, providing them with everything they need to focus on their tasks, by synchronizing with the other managers of the company.
