Engineering Manager

Lead the Prague team that builds Worker.

About the role

Worker’s product and engineering team works out of Prague. As an engineering manager, you lead the engineers who build the plan, goals, the scorecard, to-dos, issues and the weekly leadership meeting that companies run on.

You’ll work with product and design in Prague, and with our US teams in the afternoon. You own how your team plans, ships and grows, and you stay close enough to the code to make good calls.

What you’ll do

• Lead, hire and grow a team of engineers.
• Plan and ship work with product and design.
• Run one-on-ones and give clear, regular feedback.
• Keep quality high and releases steady.
• Remove what slows the team down, from unclear specs to slow tools.
• Help make technical decisions and review designs.
• Work closely with the US teams every afternoon.

What you bring

• 3+ years leading engineering teams.
• A strong hands-on engineering background.
• A record of shipping software that people use.
• Experience hiring engineers and helping them grow.
• Clear written and spoken English.

Meet most of these? Please apply. We care more about what you can do than a perfect match.

• Experience leading teams that build business software.
• Experience working with teams across time zones.

How you’ll live our values

• See it. Own it.When work is blocked or a handoff is unclear, you take the next step yourself or make sure someone owns it.
• Learn. Improve. Repeat.After each release, you look at what worked and what didn’t with your team, and change how you plan the next one.
• Say the hard thing.You give direct feedback in one-on-ones, push back on plans that won’t work, and fully back the team once a decision is made.
• Stay until they win.Your team’s work isn’t done when it ships. You check that owners and their teams got the result they needed.
