Engineering Manager

On a typical day, you will...

You will be expected to support a recently established team of engineers in their day-to-day development experience, personal development, and long-term career growth.

• You will lead 3 to 5 engineers within a product team, which owns a core part of Productboard.
• You will ensure goals and objectives for the team are clearly defined and engineers can participate in the product discovery phase.
• You will coach and mentor your engineers, showing them the next steps in their careers.
• Together with the CTO, Director, and other EMs you will discuss, define and implement processes to support a growing team (feedback, growth, team organization, delivery process).
• You will maintain a healthy, collaborative culture in line with the company values as we navigate through hyper-growth. 
• You will be actively involved in hiring engineers for your team, making sure it’s well-staffed.
• Personally being the strongest engineer in the team is not your end goal, your main focus is to have a multiplying effect on the team's output.
• To get a better idea of our vision of the role, read the “Role of Management” article about Empowered Product Teams from Marty Cagan.
