Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well... you might just be in the right place!
We’re looking for a Software Development Manager to join our team in Auckland. In this role, you will own the engagement and performance of engineers by developing resilience and nurturing high-performance; leading by example and empowering others to do their best work. The ideal candidate for this role has a strong background in technical delivery and has the ability to provide technical advice/weigh in on technical decisions that impact other teams or the company at large.
What you’ll be doing:
Coach, mentor, guide, and motivate a team of hard working engineers from all backgrounds. This includes all aspects of people management including hiring and training team members, and using tools like great 1:1s, peer programming, whiteboarding or training sessions.
Help your team deliver code in a high trust environment using continuous delivery, ensuring the team has a great delivery cadence and a strong connection with stakeholders (using demos, retros, blameless incident reviews, etc.). While you won’t be as hands-on with the code as your team are, you’ll still be leading by example, writing code, helping with code reviews, and fixing bugs; as well as providing technical advice and documentation for systems/processes.
Evaluate the performance of the technical architecture of our infrastructure and adopt industry trends.
What you need to bring:
We're looking for a candidate who has experience with the following:
Proven technical experience having worked in a Senior Software Development role.
Prior experience in technical leadership to deliver solutions to complex problems, including previous experience architecting solutions and managing delivery.
Significant experience working on major systems in one or more languages, ideally having worked on a Saa S product previously.
Previous people leadership experience is ideal, otherwise you’re ready to take the leap into team leadership.
