Engineering Manager

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to help ensure Tines stays a great place to be an engineer. This role is about supporting your team, helping them be effective, growing our organization, and fostering a healthy team culture.

You’ll join a highly supportive and collaborative team that takes great pride in the work we do. We’re eager to help nurture and grow each other’s abilities, and to create an environment where we can all do our very best work.

Location:
You can work fully remotely from anywhere in MA with a preference for being based in the Greater Boston Area area so you can make use of our Tines office space in downtown Boston to meet up with other members of the MA engineering team when you wish. 

What you will be doing: 

• Manage a software engineering team of 4-6 engineers that’s responsible for/  developing and scaling the core execution engine powering Tines -  the system that executes our customers' most important workflows
• Support the growth and development of engineers across all levels of experience through regular feedback, coaching and mentorship
• Work with with colleagues across departments to plan and prioritize projects, helping break them down into manageable tasks and milestones
• Facilitate useful communication between your team, other Product & Engineering teams, and other departments at Tines
• Contribute to technical discussions, while preserving autonomy for engineers
• Help make our engineering processes effective and efficient
• Work on attracting and recruiting great engineers to our team
• Foster a culture of inclusion, ambition, and collaboration
• Maintain technical familiarity through direct work on smaller, lower-priority engineering tasks

Is this role right for you?

• Past experience in an engineering manager or team lead role. This role requires some previous people management experience, ideally in a scaling SaaS product company.
• A strong track record as a software engineer. We don’t expect managers to make significant code contributions, but technical experience and context will be key to supporting our engineers and weighing in on technical decisions. We view technologies as a means to an end, and stick to simple, common tools - Ruby, Rails, React, TypeScript, Postgres, Redis, Docker and AWS. Our main languages are Ruby and TypeScript, but you don’t have to be familiar with those - we value curiosity and an eagerness to learn.
• Your abilities matter, not your education. We just need you to show us that you have accumulated the foundational skills and knowledge needed to succeed.

• Cybersecurity knowledge isn’t required. We take application security seriously, but for this role you don’t need any experience in that area.

• We work healthily and sustainably, and understand that flexibility for your personal life is important. We work reasonable hours, we take our holidays and we plan our workloads realistically. No matter how excited we get by a project, it’s more important to not get burnt out from overwork.

• Your contributions will be obvious. On a small team like ours, you don’t have to spend a tonne of time and energy making sure your work is seen - your impact will be clear to everyone. Our product’s success relies on ideas from across the company, so we encourage everyone to take part.

• We’re building an inclusive, supportive team. We have a wonderfully wide spectrum of colleagues at Tines, and we treat them all with kindness and respect - we expect that you will too. We don’t hire people that treat their colleagues badly, no matter how talented they are.

We’re bringing programming to everyone. As software engineers, we can appreciate the power of using software to automate manual work. In our team, we get to use our knowledge to help bring this power to our customers, without them having to learn how to code.
