Engineering Manager

At Runa, you will be a product engineer - someone who solves real customer problems through an efficient application of your technical knowledge and your tools. You’ll be part of one of our multidisciplinary squads, where you will build both back-end and front-end systems, and work closely with designers, delivery managers, stakeholders and data analysts. Engineering Manager *Role: Owns the development and rollout for an entire product, or large project. Champions process (Scrum, TDD, etc). Writes tech specs and identifies risks before starting major projects. Sets standards. Goes out of their way to reduce complexity. As needed, takes on additional “tech lead” / “Engineering manager”

responsibilities for driving an initiative to completion. Additionally, may lead technical teams of 2-5 engineers through a project, being accountable for the technical outcome and quality of the work being produced by others. *Anti-patterns: Doesn’t delegate. Always says “yes” and suffers burn-out. Jumps into execution without careful consideration. Lets details slip through the cracks. Fails to raise awareness of projects at risk or people-problems. Doesn’t follow new technologies or industry trends. *Experience: ~5+ years EM take ownership over a whole product (e.g. an entire application, or suite of services). In addition to delivering solid and maintainable software, they understand company dynamics and good process. Senior engineers often wear an additional “tech lead” hat. This means they take on the (thankless) work of project management and process oversight. They keep the trains running on time.

Additionally, they lead a team of engineers, supporting them in growth, performance management and clearly setting and holding them accountable to their role’s expectations.
