Engineering Manager
Role: Engineering Manager
Location: Office in Derby that you’ll need to go into at least 3 days per week for the first 6 months, then it drops down to around once per month.
Salary: £60k
Have you been unofficially managing a dev team, even offshore devs, whilst having to deliver code at the same time? Would you really rather concentrate all your efforts on managing, coaching, and developing the people in your team?
Then this role is for you!
I’m working with a Property SaaS company who have grown a lot recently, through acquisition. They have turned a collection of small industry-leading companies into a group that’s hard to be rivalled!
Due to this way of growing, they have maintained the small company feel to their roles and added the security and stability of a parent company into the mix, therefore giving their team the best of both worlds.
This role will see you leading a team of 50 developers in a mix of in-house and offshore reports, and you’ll be completely hands-off: this is a full-time job in itself!
Whilst you’ll not be hands-on in this role, a strong technical background in the Microsoft web tech stack is necessary for you to hold your own in technical conversations, 1-2-1s, code and performance reviews, etc. So, C#, .Net Core, SQL Server, Azure, and complementary tech like JavaScript/ TypeScript with a SPA framework like Angular, React, and Vue.
You’ll be someone who really cares about people and having a happy, high-performing team is what you strive to maintain. Being able to show examples of mentoring and/ or leading more junior team members and helping them grow and develop to the point of getting promoted in your current or past roles will be great for you to show at the interview.
It is no small task to manage people around the world, so previous experience in leading or managing (unofficially is fine) offshore teams, as well as in-house devs, is crucial for this role.
If you’re ready to be unleashed and show what you can really do, hit apply to be considered immediately!
