Job Description

The Gig

We are searching for an Engineering Manager to join our team, whose purpose will be to ensure that the team of Engineers are given the right body of work, the right tools, and the right support to develop high-quality and high-performing Healthengine products.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with product managers and engineers to transform product requirement descriptions into technical implementation plans, sizing, and final roadmap prioritisation
• Work with engineers to identify and scope technical opportunities to increase delivery velocity, site security, and operational excellence
• Manage workload across their engineering team to achieve product goals in a timely fashion, catering for engineers’ individual strengths
• Every now and then, roll your sleeves up and contribute alongside your team, including code submissions and reviews

About You

You're the kind of person who takes accountability in a fast-paced, autonomous and flexible environment. Fast may be your default (like us!) but you never, ever compromise on what’s important, willing to take a steady, more informed approach when it comes to maintaining the trust of our team and customers. You handle change like a pro, and continuous improvement is a way of life. You are not afraid to speak up and share your thoughts respectfully, with the intention of making positive change. You take initiative and drive your own learning journey without waiting for someone to point you in the right direction. And ultimately, you care: about people, health and innovation.

Experience you’ll bring:

• 5+ years of industry experience (as an engineer) is required with a strong understanding of at least one JavaScript framework (React/jQuery) and one web framework (eg- PHP with Symfony/Laravel, Node.JS)

• Experience in supporting always-on products
• Experience leading a team in an agile environment (Scrum/Kanban)
