About the job
The Account team is looking for her/his new engineering manager. The team is in charge of managing user accounts, personal data, support plans, fraud detection and many other features in the Scaleway Elements cloud ecosystem.
The team is made of front-end and back-end developers working closely together to deliver new features in Scaleway’s Console. The User Experience is at the heart of our concerns.
You will manage the team: share the company vision, give them purpose, help them grow their skills, set goals, follow their career, understand their everyday life, take the pulse, support them, give them responsibilities and encourage them to take ownership. You will also minimize the truck factor to increase the resiliency of the team. You will guarantee the availability of features by setting security, monitoring and alerting best practices from the beginning of the project. Globally, you will create and maintain a spirit of continuous improvement and transparency within the team and with the company.
You will also be responsible for optimizing features shipping of your team, in a good quality. We strongly believe in automated tests and the confidence they bring when pressing the "Deploy Prod" button. Agility and continuous delivery are essential, so that the squad gets feedback continuously from clients.
Finally, you’re also a developer and will supervise development activities with the tech lead. This includes making technical decisions regarding tooling, architecture, and innovation along with the team. One of your key responsibilities will be to avoid over-engineering, and always find a pragmatic approach when a technical problem arises. Indeed, managers at Scaleway usually code 50% of their time.
