On a typical day, you will
You will be expected to support a recently established team of engineers in their day to day development experience, their personal development, and long term career growth.
You will lead 3 to 10 engineers within a product team (or two), which owns a core part of productboard.
You will ensure goals and objectives for the team are clearly defined and engineers can participate in the product discovery phase.
You will coach and mentor your engineers, showing them the next steps in their careers.
Together with the CTO, Director and other EMs you will discuss, define and implement processes to support a growing team (feedback, growth, team organisation, delivery process).
You will maintain a healthy, collaborative culture in line with the company values as we navigate through hyper-growth.
You will be actively involved in hiring engineers for your team, making sure it's well-staffed.
Personally being the strongest engineer in the team is not your end goal, your main focus is to have a multiplying effect on the team's output.
To get a better idea of our vision of the role, read the "Role of Management" in the article about Empowered Product Teams from Marty Cagan.
