Role & TeamAs an Engineering Manager, Full Stack & Data, you will lead across several cross-functional teams, managing up to ~10 full stack software engineers, data engineers, and GIS specialists. You will support teams building our customer-facing product as well as teams working on our data processing and pipelines to enable our ML-powered product.
Our product teams are cross functional and will typically include product managers, designers, engineers and subject matter experts relating to the team's domain.
You will be accountable for the technical direction and delivery outcomes of your area. You will challenge your teams to pursue ambitious goals while providing a high level of support - growing engineering talent and fostering a highly collaborative, team-based environment where people can do great work.
Your primary focus will be on building high-performing teams and driving results through others. You will not be expected to spend significant time doing hands-on coding; however, you will be expected to dive deep technically when required and leverage your experience to support strong technical decision-making.
Time zone requirement: Europe (GMT/WET, CET) and Eastern North America (NST, AST, EST)
