Replicated is hiring an Engineering Manager to join our growing team!
Our development group within engineering is organized in the form of pods. Our pods are full stack teams with clear areas of ownership within the product. We encourage and support teams to own their product metrics and focus on delivering value to our customers.
The Embedded Cluster Pod is building our new Embedded appliance that is easy to install, update and manage. Watch Alex Parker , our Staff Product Manager go through the project which is now in Beta.
Our Engineering Managers are an extremely collaborative group of experienced leaders. We work as a collective engineering management team to ensure that we support each other as first team as well as the individual team members. Engineering Managers are empowered to help their teams deliver on their key priorities, have visibility to key metrics and product data, and have the resources and tools they need to make sure we deliver on the product with quality. This is not to say that all our systems are in perfect condition, in fact, a big part of joining us at this stage is to help contribute to the advancement of our practice. We believe in continuous improvement along with a growth mindset, we support each other to learn and grow so we can continue to have the best engineering and team culture.
We thrive for a culture of impact, this means that it is important for everyone to focus on delivering results. These results are not based on quantity but on true value to the product and our customers. Our engineers work closely with customers through design discovery and day 2/support operations. Each team is responsible for ownership of their product throughout its full life cycle.
The Vision for Success:
Manage and work alongside the engineers on your development pods.
You will work with the engineers on the team to prioritize and drive toward the pod's product objectives.
