Skills & Requirements
How we would like you to be
We would love to hear what you think! This role is versatile and while we share what we expect, you may have skills you would like to highlight we consider.
Do you love working with people, making them grow and developing teams? In this role, people will be its core. You will have to be a master collaborator working with different functions and teams. Managing people’s personal and professional development will be a key responsibility. Experience in recruiting and retaining talent which includes but not limited to mentoring and teaching others to be great mentors are great bonuses.
As you are managing software engineers, you have to have a big interest in software development and will be comfortable facilitating technical discussions like architecture to enable our engineers to make sound decisions. Prior experience as a software engineer is a plus but not required since you are not expected to do hands on coding. A good delivery mindset, being a leader in agile frameworks and an interest in understanding user needs will definitely help you excel in this role.
All of this takes place in a modern fast-moving product-led growth company. Therefore you must desire to work in a fast-paced environment where change is the only constant.
