Software Engineering Manager

ActiveCampaign’s engineering team is growing rapidly and we are looking for engineering managers to help us scale. Our engineering managers are people with varying technical backgrounds and interests who are heavily involved in the technical details of their team. As managers, our main focus is keeping our teams efficient and executing on the right goals. We build teams that are inclusive, collaborative, and have a strong sense of ownership for the things they build. If you have a passion and track record for solving problems; moreover, have strong leadership skills and a strong software development background, this is a great fit for you.

What your day could consist of:

• Lead a team of talented engineers who like to ship code and tackle hard engineering problems
• Maintain rigor in high code quality, automated testing, and other engineering best practices
• Contribute to and/or execute on the organization’s vision and standards around security, quality, observability and clean code
• Support legacy and modern services and applications in the public cloud and deploy them through CI/CD practices
• Create a collaborative work environment that fosters autonomy, inclusivity, innovation, learning, respect and transparency while holding a high bar for craftsmanship
• Collaborate with Product Managers and Designers to ensure we're building great products
• Demonstrate problem solving and technical innovation through "rolling-up sleeves" and "getting hands dirty"
• Collaborate with other engineering teams to identify, leverage, and successfully evangelize opportunities to improve engineering productivity
• Share knowledge with team members via a formal mentoring relationship, reviewing code, reviewing design docs, giving technical talks and JIT feedback
• Work closely with the ActiveCampaign People Team to hire high candidates from diverse backgrounds

What is needed:

• Experience building and deploying scalable applications in the cloud using CI/CD/CT practices in PHP, although Java or Python is a plus
• Solid database experience in SQL, NoSQL and event streaming technologies
• Quality first mindset
• Experience solving challenging technical problems with a focus on throughput and fast response time
• 3+ years of hands-on technical leadership and people management experience
• Strong communication skills and customer focus
