Senior Manager, Engineering

What success looks like

• Coach your direct reports to pursue opportunities that increase their impact at Beacon, and guide them through the challenges they encounter along the way.
• Develop a deep understanding of the Datastore and the broader Platform product ecosystem, and actively share that context to drive continuous improvement of the team's processes and its integration with Beacon as a whole.
• Cultivate an environment where engineers learn constantly and collaboratively, and treat setbacks as opportunities for growth.
• Act as a steward of Beacon's engineering practices and maintain high bars for engineering quality, productivity, and accountability while motivating the team to continuously raise those bars over time.
• Help your team scope and prioritize tactical week-to-week work in direct connection with Beacon's wider strategic initiatives.
• Ensure your team's development roadmap is outcome-oriented, current, aligned with company objectives and other teams' priorities, and communicated clearly to stakeholders across Beacon.
• Own project management for team initiatives: defining scope, managing timelines, and setting expectations internally and externally.
• Partner with quality and regulatory stakeholders to ensure the team's development processes meet design control requirements without sacrificing engineering momentum, and lead the team in continuously improving how it does both.

What you will bring

• Dedication to helping direct reports overcome challenges and seize opportunities for self-growth.

• Empowerment of decision-making abilities for reports, collaborators, and stakeholders.
• Strategies for preventing and remedying bandwidth limitations, technical debt, and non-iterative processes.
