Flight Itinerary (About The Role)

There are plenty of manager types out there, but what we’re looking for is an Engineering Manager who combines leadership with technical expertise—a player/manager capable of not only guiding and mentoring ourengineering teams but also getting hands-on when needed. A developer, the ideal candidate understands engineers on a deeper level and can speak their language fluently, whether in a code review or a team meeting.
This role is about more than just managing; it’s about being in the trenches with your team, representing Software Engineers across the organization while ensuring they thrive in a fun and challenging environment. You’ll inspire innovation while making sure everything stays on course, pushing for bold ideas while maintaining a cautious hand on the wheel.
We all know there are no boring days around Software and managing Software Engineers here is both a responsibility and an adventure.

What Your Journey Will Look Like (Responsibilities)

  • Act as a player/manager, guiding engineering teams while still committing code when needed
  • Representing assigned teams in various meetings with a full understanding of their projects, workloads, weaknesses and strengths
  • Taking great interest in individual engineers through their everyday struggles and spending time improving their respective skills or making space for their personal growth
  • Understanding and controlling the technical discussions with the ability to ask the correct questions to find the root causes of problems and unblocking stuck engineers
  • Being ultimately responsible for the quality of the delivered features by devising procedures and tools to ensure their correctness at every step of the development
  • Ensuring that the communication for both projects and processes is concise and reaches all the relevant people when it has to
  • Maintaining an environment of collective responsibility through well-oiled processes and ceremonies that systematically aim to reduce the probability and severity of errors
  • Foreseeing possible future problems long before they take place and actively working on reducing or eliminating their impact
  • Actively questioning the status quo, generating ideas, building consensus and aligning with stakeholders to do things better

What To Pack For This Trip (Qualifications)

  • Reputation of a frequent dueller, ferocious, but caring pack leader
  • Diagnosed "Healthy paranoia" when it comes to quality
  • Demonstrated allergy to unnecessary complexity
  • Self-identified, masked vigilante of overall order and structure
  • Chef skills with many good recipes for preparing a roadmap
  • Ability to effortlessly explain complex technical issues to a dog
  • High level of Spanish and English

Optional Carry-On (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Proven track record of management of complex projects
  • Experience with working in environments that never stop serving users
  • Existing experience of both hiring and firing personnel
  • Well-developed soft skills and a heightened level of curiosity

First-Class Amenities

  • Flexible working hours  
  • Private medical and dental insurance  
  • Meal and/or commuting card  
  • Competitive salary  
  • Yearly salary and promotion review  
  • Highly professional team to interact with and grow

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
