Senior Engineering Manager, Middleware

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Lead, grow, and retain a team of software engineers — running 1:1s, setting expectations, giving direct feedback, and developing engineers at every level.
• Own the team's roadmap and delivery: set technical direction, break down ambiguous problems, and make the tradeoffs that keep the team shipping reliably.
• Stay hands-on. Design and implement high-quality software systems that run on our hardware products and developer workstations, and remain a credible technical voice in reviews and architecture decisions.
• Build analytics tools that help us monitor services and identify, architect, and implement projects that ensure smooth customer experiences, operating at a high state of reliability.
• Identify and lead internal cross-team software projects that substantially improve the customer (internal and external) experience.
• Take ownership of internal services from concept through deployment and monitoring.
• Partner with Computer Vision, State Estimation, Fleet Management, Embedded and Product teams to align priorities and unblock work across organizational boundaries.
• Recruit and hire — build the interview loop, sell candidates on the mission, and raise the bar with every addition to the team.
