We are a closely held custom software development agency and we are looking for a driven Engineering Manager. Are you experienced in software team leadership, .NET, React and/or Azure cloud-based deployment? Passionate about building products that customers love? Looking for a no-politics zone to do your best work? Mercury is the place for you!
The Work
The Engineering Manager leads a Scrum team of engineers while collaborating with the team’s Delivery Lead to ship custom software solutions. Typical solutions utilize the following technologies:
- .NET (predominantly) and Node.js (secondarily) back-ends
- Modern JavaScript-driven front-end frameworks; specifically React
- Service-oriented architectures
- REST APIs
- Azure cloud services
- DevOps/continuous deployment pipelines
Requirements
The position requires proven work experience in engineering management with a strong software development work history. The Engineering Manager works within a multidisciplinary Scrum team as a partner to the team’s Delivery Lead to lead the team (with sleeves rolled up) in the construction of custom cloud-based software for our clients.
The ability to research and communicate recommendations to their Delivery Lead peer and upward to our engineering director is crucial. The Engineering Manager will also work hand-in-hand with clients so possession of a consulting mindset is a must.
Specific position requirements include the following:
- Bachelor’s Degree, preferably in Computer Science or Engineering
- 8+ years of hands-on experience with custom software development
- 5+ years in a professional work environment analyzing problems, collaborating and leading teams
- 2+ years of Engineering management experience
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills are pretty darn important, too
About Span of Control and Day-to-Day Activities
"Engineering Manager" means different things in different organizations - in some organizations the span of control is large (a high number of direct reports) while hands-on work is low. In other organizations, process work is high while span of control and hands-on involvement are both mid-range. At MercuryWorks, we have established the emphasis between engineering managers very close to the "Team Lead EM" archetype as described in this excellent blog post: 5 Engineering Manager Archetypes (patkua.com).
