WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
We are seeking managers who exemplify our cultural core values: put customers first, team over self, glass half full, focus on results, and bias towards action, and will lead teams of engineers in our long term goals of delivering the best product to customers in the market. We believe in servant leadership. We empower team members to do their best while holding them to a higher standard of growth, accomplishment, and results.
As a manager, you will have three to eight individual contributors as direct reports. You will be responsible for conducting weekly or at least twice a month one on one meetings with your direct reports, where you provide feedback, mentor/coach them, and help them grow in their careers and competencies.

As a member of the management team, you will be asked to support one or more department initiatives. We are always looking for ways to improve ourselves as a management team and our department as a whole. It is important that we create a supportive and collaborative environment where relationships matter more than “being right”.
