As an Engineering Manager, you’ll report to our Head of Engineering. In collaboration with the product manager, you will be responsible for the run and delivery of your squad as well as managing your team.

Your mission will be triple :

Proximity management - You will be accountable for your team members:

• You are the N+1 manager of all squad developers (back and front) and manage their career plan.
• You regularly monitor the engineers of your team so that they are in perfect condition to carry out their tasks.
• You support the skills development of your team and check their progression.
• You participate in recruitment with HR.

• You manage to identify problems occurring in production at all levels of the stack (application, SQL, etc.).
• You will be involved in improving our development processes, tools and standards.

Delivery - You will be accountable for the delivery and the success of your team :
