About the Role:

Engineering managers at Condor are technical leaders who not only have the engineering

expertise to guide multiple projects at once, but who also manage a team of engineers. As an

engineering manager, you’ll own the engineering roadmap, strategy, and process, while also

providing the career development support that comes with having direct reports. Engineering

managers at Condor handle the traditional management and long term direction for the team.

Being an engineering manager doesn’t mean any code though! You have the ability to roll up your

sleeves and code, review code, and coach other engineers to engineering best practices. And, in

collaboration with the tech leads, you’ll focus on technical architecture, system design, and

managing the near term goals of every squad.

Some of the gnarly technical challenges you will tackle: data extraction from complex source

files, data transformation, streamlining complex finance-driven logic, data visualization… the list

grows every day!

Your role and responsibilities are centered around the following axes:

  • Effectiveness
  • Takes ownership of the technical output and outcomes of the engineering team
  • Sets the direction and bar for team output and process, owning all key team

touch points (sprint planning, kickoffs, retros, reviews) and task management

best practices (estimating, sprint goals, clear and prioritized technical backlog)

  • Works closely with the Head of Product to establish the medium to long term

product strategy and operationalizes the engineering team around it

  • Guides and vets system designs for the entire product, is able to write product or

system development code when needed

  • Ability to clarify product and technical priorities for engineers to optimize team

performance

  • Attitude
  • Ability to focus deeply on technical architecture for engineering, but also

prioritizes cross-collaboration with product and design to ensure successful and

sustainable software implementation

  • Champions a company-first mindset, stewarding Condor’s values, contributing to

all-hands, team meetings, and overall company culture

  • Champions and collaborates to achieve high quality across the engineering team,

taking initiative to implement new ideas, best practices, and make other team

members successful

  • Regularly seeks feedback from peers and leadership to constantly improve, and

shows up to 1:1s with prepared agenda and topics

  • Leadership
  • Is viewed as a major role model and leader in the organization not only because

of their expertise and sound judgment, but also because they live by and

champion Condor’s values

  • Takes a teaching-first mindset to resolve technical problems– asks questions to

team members over giving them immediate solutions, and is thus sought out for

their technical and strategic guidance

  • Creates a safe and inclusive environment where team members are able to

speak up freely in various settings

  • Mentors their team in engineering excellence through code, PR and architecture

reviews, and provides feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines,

checking code, accuracy, testability, and efficiency)

  • Takes ownership of each team member’s career development through weekly

1:1s, annual goal setting with regular check-in’s, and matching stretch goals with

appropriate opportunities

  • Ensures project details are available for other stakeholders and engineers to view
  • Coordinates regular check-ins with leadership and records regular progress in

writing

  • Takes the lead as the hiring manager for new engineering roles, owning
