Job Description

What you will do

• As Engineering Manager, you are accountable for the outcomes achieved by your team. You manage one or two engineering teams, directly or indirectly via other Engineering Managers.
• 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 our department 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 up for success. The growth of team members, team health, career planning, and performance management play a supporting role here.

What you will need

• We are looking for an engineering manager with a history of being a line manager of a high-performing engineering team.
• Your team is using the latest AI research to add value to our production pipeline. You understand AI and have experience owning a team with a mix of Applied Scientists and Engineers.
• You can assess the impact of your team and experience turning experiments into value-added in production.
• 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.
• You have sufficient technical skills from your background in software development. You mainly use these skills to identify, evaluate, and grow talent, and ensure the team is staffed well and moving in the right direction.
• Knowledge of professional software engineering best practices for the full software development life cycle including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations.
• You have a passion for people management and mentorship.
• Ability to handle multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced and fast-changing environment.
• This position is based in Amsterdam. Therefore, we are only able to accept candidates who already live in The Netherlands.
