Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager

We all speak different languages, and languages come in many forms. That language could be Mandarin or English, Python or Ruby. Languages offer unique views of the world, but can also create barriers in communication. At GLOBO, our collective, unique skills allow us to bridge the divide and enable communication, helping change the lives of some of the most vulnerable in our society.
  • VP of Engineering

About the Role:
As an Engineering Manager with GLOBO, you'll have an opportunity to guide the engineering team as they contribute to our products, in line with our mission of “Helping people communicate when it matters most.'' You will also bring strong engineering and architecture know-how, while not neglecting design aesthetics. While you still dig into code, you like helping and guiding others.

If you like this idea, here’s more... 
Working with and reporting to our VP of Engineering, you will lead a team of engineers, providing them with direction, and leadership to be the best they can be. From concept to design, you’ll work closely with our internal product team to execute on GLOBO’s vision.  

Your understanding of software quality and support will help us continue our quest for maintainable, scalable, and supportable code and practices. Clear communication is key and you know how to set clear goals and expectations as well as follow through on them yourself. 

Other key responsibilities include: 
  • Provide engineering requirements and tech debt analysis to product for inclusion on the roadmap
  • Design and Architect new systems and system changes
  • Run daily standups and other engineering team meetings such a Sprint Kickoffs and Retrospectives

About You:
You're a true technologist; an advocate for innovation while maintaining stability. Solving complex problems and building products that serve a valuable function in society get you up in the morning. You’re confident working independently and enjoy working collaboratively to build truly useful products. Your expertise lies in architecture and engineering, but you understand the key relationships throughout the system including the importance of awesome user experience. You know your way around key technologies like: 

  • Modern Javascript frameworks (React, Ember, Angular, etc.) 
  • Modular Sass (RWD, BEM, etc.) 
  • Modern MVC frameworks (Rails, Django, Spring)
  • Product Management Tools (JIRA, Aha)
