Engineering Manager I - Software

Engineering Manager I - Software

What You'll Do

• As Engineering Manager I, you are accountable for the outcomes achieved by your team.
• Your performance is significantly based on the business impact of your team, as well as the extent to which the team develops top talent through daily business.
• You set guidelines and policies for all developers in your team by aligning with peers, the industry, and tech leads. You add value to our software engineering practices by challenging and improving the process and applying best practices from the industry.
• Your most important tool for delivering results is identifying growth opportunities, empowering team members to take ownership, and coaching them to success and doing a little bit better every day.
• Beyond helping your team to be successful, you show leadership by identifying opportunities and taking ownership of initiatives outside of your team's scope.
• You define a team topology and staffing plan that sets the team for success. The growth of team members, team health, career planning, and performance management are playing a supporting role here.
• You will be a member of the Engineering Leadership core team, as a steering group for the value stream.

What You'll Need

• We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager with a history of leading a product team (5-7 engineers) and a solid understanding of modern incremental and iterative software product development and its implications.
• You have a proven initial professional experience with C++.
• Experience in creating technical solution proposals and system designs.
• You have credible, senior software engineering experience in an engineering team setting, and you can use these skills to identify, evaluate, and grow talent, and ensure the team is staffed well and moving in the right direction.
• You have a proven understanding of the business, the technology applied, and the product. This will help you to assess the impact of what the team delivers and take ownership for shaping the direction of the team and its systems in line with business objectives and strategy.
• You are highly empathetic, an excellent communicator, a true role model for leadership inputs and principles, and enjoy helping others to be successful just as much as having individual impact.

What's Nice to Have

• Experience in SDK design and management.
• Working experience in navigation applications and/or in the automotive industry.
• Knowledge of Virtual Horizon and the ADAS domain.
