Polarsteps

Engineering Manager

• Drive high performance: You'll be pivotal in guiding our tech leads and team members’ personal development, fostering tight-knit collaboration while constantly improving our workflow and processes. Your goal is to ensure our team is happy and productive, operating like a well-oiled machine with a keen focus on efficiency and effectiveness.
• Get Things Done: You're in charge of making sure initiatives start, and also cross the finish line. You can easily juggle priorities, resources and deadlines - making hard choices is second nature to you.
• Lead the evolution of our platform: You’ll lead the team through the big calls on tech and architecture. The decisions you’ll make together will keep our platform robust and ready for the future, as you proactively cultivate the resiliency, maintainability, scalability and general operational excellence of every corner of our platform, addressing technical debt when needed or, even better, preventing it when it makes sense.
• Innovate and Elevate: We're looking for someone who’s always on the lookout for new tech trends and ways to do things better; and more importantly, is able to identify which of those should *not* be adopted.
• AI-pilled, but responsibly: you understand the potential and current power of AI-driven development, and at the same time you’re aware of the best way to leverage it to manage its limitations and risks.
• Care deeply about the people in your team, and the success of Polarsteps; you’ll be able to balance being a candid, caring, supportive and empathetic manager with making tough decisions when needed to support the growth of the business.
