Next to running our production load in AWS, Infrastructure is also managing engineering crucial tools and services such as Github, Pagerduty or Rollbar.
In your role as “Head of” you will work closely with the team to prepare and deliver a wide range of technical initiatives as well as manage daily business topics and be the lead for the team. Your role will be a hybrid between managing and leading the team members but also managing the stakeholders and the team’s backlog. You will support the team driving their initiatives and organizing them across the product and engineering teams (as most changes require some action by every team).
You are an evangelist and passionate about the benefits of Infrastructure’s tools and services. You can communicate those benefits to others, helping others to succeed and are committed to spreading awareness of our tools and services.
You will
- Be the engineering people manager for the engineers in the Infrastructure team (currently 4)
- Be the delivery manager to deliver the initiatives or necessary changes to keep our platform and services stable
- Be leading Infrastructure driven topics such as bigger strategic changes but also maintenance tasks that span across the product organization), acting as a project manager / evangelist to ensure a successful and timely delivery
- Be the stakeholder manager who collaborates with the other engineering teams
- Make sure team members are engaged and complement each other in achieving common goals autonomously
- Establish a roadmap and strategy together with the team, ideally mid
- and long term
- Create documentations, guard-rails or policies to best enable teams for self-service
- Take over and manage the cost center and contracts for the tools and services used by Infrastructure (AWS, Pagerduty, GitHub, etc)
- Ensure that health metrics are established, monitored and observed. Not only in your team but also in others
- Contributing to our Tech Strategy and Engineering Chapter, evangelize Infrastructure related initiatives
- Collaborate closely with other engineering managers, product managers, engineers, or Infosec to influence product and tech strategy and drive the tech development roadmap
- Attract, onboard, develop, and retain diverse talents to your team
You have
- Experience leading and developing backend teams within an international, agile environment
- Practical experience with GitHub, Terraform
- Passion about learning outcomes and people, not just technical excellence
- Proven experience in direct people management
- Customer-centric prioritization for internal and external stakeholders as well as data-informed decision making
- Experience in collaboration with different corporate functions
- Comfortable giving and receiving actionable, constructive feedback
- Experience in creating and managing career development plans for engineers with diverse skill sets
- Deep exposure to scrum agile and other delivery methodologies (such as OKRs)
- Evangelist mindset to explain required changes to product and engineering teams
Nice to have
- BONUS: Experience with Trello, Productboard, Jira and Confluence
- BONUS: AWS certification
- Prior work in enterprise environments
**Some perks of becoming a Babbelonian**:
- Enjoy 30 vacation days and the chance to take a 3-month Sabbatical. Plus family and life situation counseling.
