The Team:

The Process Visualization Squad specializes in creating intuitive and innovative end-user products that empower users to explore and analyze their business processes. Composed of expert Frontend Engineers, the team designs and develops process visualization tools like interactive graphs, using cutting-edge technologies to deliver seamless and engaging user experiences. They work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure integration and continuously iterate on their products, incorporating user feedback and staying ahead of industry trends. This team plays a crucial role in helping users identify inefficiencies and optimize their operations through powerful visual insights.

The Role:

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading a team to execute a defined mission, managing the careers of the team members and their performance, and actively fostering successful group dynamics to help the team accomplish their mission. Managers at this level possess the technical judgment and decision making expected of Staff Software Engineers, often making technical contributions that have a direct impact on the team's mission. Engineering Managers ensure that their teams have a manageable level of technical complexity and that they are working collaboratively with adjacent teams.  They also jointly define goals/OKRs with other stakeholders that contribute to larger strategic efforts.

Engineering Managers work largely independently on defining the scope and impact of their team, and their leadership influence should be evident across multiple groups in addition to their own. When working closely with related teams, they should help support the team health and objectives of those related teams as well as their own.

The work you’ll do:

• Lead one of our teams to successfully deliver to their mission - manage the performance and support the career development of senior and upper-mid-level engineers
• Build and maintain an engineering culture of trust, ownership, and collaboration within the team as well as the department
• Take an active part in hiring and grow the team according to business needs
• Contribute technically within the team’s scope
• Collaborate with Product Managers and other leads on goals and strategies around people, technology, and processes. We expect good candidates to be a strong counterpart for Product/UX, contributing significantly to discovery work in figuring out new process visualizations
• Advocate for the (whole) team; provides upward and outward visibility of the team and their work.

The qualifications you need:

• Previous experience in an Engineering Manager and technical leadership position
• People management skills: demonstrable experience managing a team of strong developers to grow and reach their potential.
• Project management skills: experience leading projects to successful completion. Knowledge around Agile concepts (e.g. Scrum, Kanban, Continuous Delivery). People conflict resolution.
• Strong technical knowledge (usually 5+ years of experience in software engineering is expected)
• Product Guidance: Knowledge in Data Visualization Theory and Best Practices to influence the product roadmap and make informed decisions
• Technical Guidance: Experience with technologies for graphics and data visualizations (eg. d3, svg, canvas, webGL) and the challenges in performance, layouting and rendering of complex graph visualizations
• Strong Frontend Development Skills: JavaScript and Typescript. Angular experience is a plus.
• Ability to lead and make decisions to define the road ahead
• Ability to resolve technical conflicts when necessary, fostering a positive environment for escalations
• Ready to roll up your sleeves to help your team
• Strong communication skills (English language), allowing you to collaborate smoothly with people across the business and technical domains
