GreenTech Software Engineering Manager ” Hands-Off

Salary: £80,000 – £130,000 + equity & benefits
Location: Fully remote, must be UK based

Is tech leadership your thing? Do you love getting a team of people to glide like a sailing boat on calm waters in a steady breeze?

And do you also care about sorting out the climate crisis, tackling meaty issues like food poverty and waste of” meat, and stuff?

Wellll then read on.

You likely forged your career as a developer working with dev teams of varied sizes ga’thumping interesting and engaging problems, where tech provides a tangible and useful solution.

The real important things for this role are leadership and scale. Have you led teams through big migrations, redesigns or rearchitecting and refactoring platforms and services? Has that software serviced millions of users?

The Mobile and Web app here has more than 6 million global users. They’re looking at problems linked to how their infrastructure and assets can work more efficiently, factoring in geographical and culture differences in user behaviours or digital access and capacity.

Sustainability is the aim of the game, enabling millions and then hundreds of, or even billions of people to live more sustainably and share the food or other items they don’t need, want, or no longer have use for.

Imagine working for a company that is actively changing how the world works, making it easy for us to turn wasteful consumers of excess to community-based action-heroes who are actively building a more sustainable future through the use of technology”

That can’t happen at scale [in a social system with raaaaather significant design flaws] without communities and the individuals within them adapting. This App facilitates all of that and improves social engagement along with a host of other benefits.

This role is hands-off. Tech knowledge is important, but building and maintaining happy and productive teams is important’er… Onboarding folks so they can settle in quickly and improving that process. And the happy part is probably most important. This company treat their people well and want them fresh and motivated to work. They don’t over work people and offer unrivalled flexibility to live and work how you see best.

Want to work from somewhere sunny for ~6 months of the year? That’s fine. They’re fully remote as standard ” always have been, so they’re set up for that structure. Ya just need to pay tax in the UK.

You’ll be leading a mobile team of 6 ” growing to 10 by the time you join as two Senior React Native devs are starting in the coming weeks and a [hands-on] Tech Lead will join soon, too ” including a QA Tester. You will help take ownership of delivering their projects, optimising processes, improving efficiency and skills within the team, and likely add 2-3 more people in 2023.

Their tech centres around Ruby on Rails and React (Native) and they use things like AWS with S3, ECR, ELB, Cloudwatch and also use Docker, Travis CI for their pipelines, lots of google maps integration and Redis, among other things. So any experience with those or similar tools would be cool, but not essential.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders including customers and product managers, other Team Leads and Engineering Managers, the CTO and other leadership to shape the priorities and direction of the platform.

So, fancy using your skills to help one the coolest and most newsworthy sustainability-tech companies in the world, while also advancing your career?
