Software Engineering Manager

6 months ago

Sydney, Australia Freelancer.com Full time

We are on the lookout for a software engineering manager to lead teams of engineers to take our company to the next level.

This won't be your typical cog-in-the-machine type of job. If you're a high achiever with talent, looking for something more than a boring job in a corporate environment, want to work with the best and brightest and don't need to be handheld, this is the job for you.

If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10,000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making. If you join a startup, you might get to work on the latest fad, but likely have few mentors to learn from, work on toy problems and never change the world.

At Freelancer you’ll get to work on a highly diverse, global set of internet-scale challenges where you will make a meaningful difference with real responsibility, while rapidly building your skills. We run a meritocracy - we actively promote from within.

You’ll also change lives - our mission is to provide one billion jobs. Not many companies actually make a difference like Freelancer does in providing opportunity and income to people all around the world.

**Requirements**:
Our engineering managers report directly to the VP of Engineering and lead multiple engineering teams to achieve their best. You will:

- Build and maintain multiple high performance software engineering teams
- Work with engineering teams to develop roadmaps, to define delivery goals and to achieve them within agreed timelines
- Communicate effectively with stakeholders business-wide
- Provide leadership, training and mentoring to other software engineers
- Maintain high standards of software quality within the team by establishing and practising good engineering practises and habits
- Work well with product managers and other teams to achieve the best outcomes given a number of constraints
- Cultivate a healthy team culture centred on company values

**Required experience**:

- Experience leading development teams
- Significant experience with building large scale web software
- Experience working in an agile team environment, continuously shipping environment
- Strong writing and verbal communication skills
- Strong sense of ownership and able to self-manage work
- Self-motivated and tracked-record of learning new technologies
- Strong troubleshooting skills and creative problem-solving ability
- Strong technical skills, we expect you can engage with our senior architects to contribute to technical plans and designs
- Tertiary Degree in Computer Science / Engineering (or related); MSc or PhD a plus

**Nice to haves**:

- Extensive experience managing multiple software engineering teams
- Cloud computing experience, preferably AWS
- Experience with SOA, microservice and containerisation architecture
- Experience with development of public facing APIs
- Experience with modern Javascript frameworks, such as Angular, React or Vue
- Experience with TypeScript
- Strong knowledge of computer networking
- Sound understanding of OWASP and the best web security practises

**Benefits**:

- A meritocratic culture with the ability to take ownership and fast track your career.
- Weekly Town Halls with the all important Q&A session with the CEO (you really can ask him anything)
- Friday lunches - We finish each week with a catered lunch. Every Friday we offer a different cuisine from local restaurants.
- Fully stocked kitchens + yes we do have beer taps (and a bar with a killer view)
- Hack-a-thons - Get hacking and programming in this quarterly company-wide event where teams create solutions to existing problems and win prizes. The 2-day event is filled with games, events, shows, food and more.
- Fun events (we once built a soccer stadium in the office with two tonnes of turf).
- Located at Grosvenor Place - Home of Freelancer HQ, this iconic building and location with harbour views with weekly and complimentary classes, activities, events, promotions, competitions and deals.

**Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better**:

- Change lives every day - Everything we do as part of our jobs contribute to improving the lives of our users on a global scale. Our mission is to provide one billion jobs. Not many companies actually make a difference like Freelancer does in providing opportunity and income to people all around the world.
- Fast-track your career - We boast a meritocratic culture, renowned for hiring into senior roles from within and producing many business and product leaders in the technology industry.
