Engineering · Full-time · United States · Remote possible

Job description

Articulate is looking for an Engineering Manager to join our growing Storyline 360 team! As an engineering manager, you’ll lead a small to mid-sized team. Comfortability with management practices and strong project management skills are keys in this role. As a leader, you’ll track the team's efficiency, quality of work, and assist in regularly adjusting processes and timelines to ensure this work is delivered.

You may spend less time writing code but there is an expectation to still engage in technical work such as feature development, bug fixes and maintenance, focusing on the productivity of your team over your own output. More than writing code, you’ll hold responsibility for identifying bottlenecks in the process and unblocking these roadblocks to ensure team success.

What You'll Do:

  • Lead a cross-functional team in the implementation of complex features and enhancements.
  • Write great software. We believe the only way to be a great Engineering Manager is to continue to be a great engineer. Managers are expected to build and deliver software, participate in code reviews and perform testing.
  • The Storyline 360 team focuses on a desktop application including technologies such as C# .NET, Windows Forms, WPF, and some JavaScript.
  • Mentor and provide career guidance to the engineers on your team.
  • Collaborate with peers, within and outside the team, to help develop a long-term vision for our engineering practices and tooling.
  • Consistently lead teams to deliver compelling products, features and services while providing transparent updates, timeline estimates, and demos along the way.
  • Participate in defining and fulfilling the engineering hiring plan for the team, including screening and interviewing.
  • Help ensure that our coding standards and patterns are observed by participating in design discussions, testing and code reviews.
  • Assist our support team and operations team in triaging and resolving production issues, including participating in on-call rotation.
  • 1:1s and performance discussions with team members.

What You Should Have:

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience leading productive, high-functioning teams.
  • You can describe why these teams were high functioning and what you specifically did to ensure engineers felt productive.
  • You write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability.
  • You are a strong communicator with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers, and you don't shy away from difficult and constructive conversations with your team.
  • You possess strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, programming languages, asynchronous programming, and memory management and have applied these at significant scale.
  • You have strong professional experience in the .NET ecosystem.
  • You have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent training, fellowship or work experience.
  • You are a thoughtful, trustworthy, doer.

Nice to Haves:

  • Windows desktop or native application development experience.
  • Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) or Windows Forms (WinForms) development experience
