The client
In a nutshell, their product allows you to make an informed decision on cost, carbon and quality when constructing any building. After oversubscribing their Series A investment round they need someone to join them who’s eager to help build a sustainable future. What will you be doing? Initially you’ll be managing three engineering teams (AI, Data & Platform/Web), which currently consist of 7 people plus a QA. However, they have plans to more than double the business in size over the next 18 months so this head count will increase. The role itself is very focussed on the people side; they want someone to come in and help to unlock the team’s potential. It’s a real start-up/scale-up environment so the role has a focus on shaping and implementing best engineering working practices, creating progression plans and frameworks for the team, and overseeing efforts to address technical debt and enhance code quality. As mentioned they will be scaling up quickly but they don’t want to lose the engineering culture they have. You’ll be providing leadership and continuing to foster this culture; think celebrating achievements, recognizing efforts and helping to upskill team members. A few other things they’d be looking for you to that are worth mentioning:- Manage resource at the head-count level.
- Plan team structure, capacity and workloads according to key objectives.
- Set a clear personal objectives, providing guidance, mentoring and coaching.
- Perform administrative tasks in support of the team, including renewal of security certificates and overseeing cloud expenditure.
- Ensure voices are amplified upwards and team members are fully utilised.
- Implement a culture that encourages curiosity, continues improvement and honesty.
