Guide the team to resolve production issues reactively, sometimes under pressure, while maintaining calm composure.
Work closely with technical product management to shape team roadmaps that set the direction for the team.
Take responsibility for team health, maximizing team happiness, output, giving and seeking feedback, and identifying and resolving conflicts early.
Collaborate with engineers and other managers across the organization to achieve shared milestones.

Qualifications

3+ years experience managing an engineering team
5+ years engineering experience (Kotlin and/or Java is desirable)
Excellent communication skills
Experience with cloud infrastructure
Experience working with resilient distributed microservices

Bonus Qualifications

Passionate about optimizing systems for maximum efficiency and resilience
Experience with or managing a team that works with production serving, cloud web services
