Vacancy expired!

Overview The Software Engineering Manager is responsible for technical and people management and is actively engaged in developing the team to deliver on business priorities that flow through the Scrum leadership (Product Managers and Product Owners). The Software Engineering Manager also manages up and manages out to promote the team and build relationships within the larger organization. As a technical manager, you set the boundaries and expectations for delivering a quality product and timely solutions; you are an avid promoter of process improvement; you seek out and promote best practices; you own and refine the technical architecture, continually investing in refactoring and refinement to incorporate modern engineering tools and practices. As a people manager, you consistently invest in your people to grow their technical skills and soft skills; you celebrate successes; you identify books, classes, events, and assignments that expose team members to new ways of thinking and working; you promote inter-team and intra-team collaboration to build trust; you hire good people, effectively manage poor performers, and provide constant feedback to create a team of leaders. As a servant leader, the Software Engineering Manager's role is to inspire, motivate, and enable the team by removing impediments; it is not about tasking the team members. The manager is encouraged to stay out of the day to day activities and focus on the big picture; where the product is headed and what are the architecture decisions, tools, and skills needed to get there. The Scrum team, working together, will decide what tasks and features to work on day to day to meet our business needs. Responsibilities
