Engineering Manager

About the company

Our client is a software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead and grow an engineering team that is building a brand-new service from scratch. The role blends hands-on technical guidance with people leadership, and involves working closely with cross-functional partners to turn plans into delivered work.

What you'll do

- Recruit, organize and lead engineers through the design, build and release of a new data storage service.

- Guide technical direction and architecture choices, weighing the tradeoffs that come with stateful distributed systems.

- Collaborate with product, design and infrastructure colleagues to shape a roadmap and deliver features.

- Coach engineers through hiring, ongoing feedback and performance reviews.

- Encourage accountability and steady improvement on the team while keeping delivery pace in balance with stability and quality.

What we're looking for

- At least 8 years as a practicing software engineer who has delivered products, ideally with exposure to stateful or distributed systems.

- At least 2 years managing engineers, including recruiting, coaching and handling performance.

- Enough technical depth to contribute to architecture and design discussions, acting as a player-coach instead of a purely administrative manager.

- A product mindset and a track record of shaping engineering plans around user and company priorities.

Bonus points

- Background working on developer-facing tools, cloud services or large-scale distributed systems.

Compensation and benefits

- Base salary: USD 204,000 to 289,000 per year
