Engineering Manager – Acquisition Tribe needed at Yoco

What you will be doing

Engineering Managers (EMs) at Yoco focus on the following:

• People: Retain and grow existing talent, and attract new talent. As a Senior Engineering Manager you will lead approximately 10 engineers spread across 2 teams.
• Practices: Continuously improve engineering practices. As a Senior Engineering Manager you will be expected to recommend initiatives and lead multiple initiatives across Engineering that improve engineering practices.
• Delivery: Just as Product Managers are accountable for what teams build, Engineering Managers are accountable for how the what is delivered to our customers. To implement the how requires a detailed understanding of the what. We expect timely delivery with industry-leading quality and non-functional requirements (e.g. security, performance, availability and maintainability).
• Technical: Contribute to the Engineering technical direction and ensure that your teams are aligned with this technical direction. This might mean getting technically involved (e.g. coding, code reviews, etc.) to ensure that the initiatives move forward.
