O projekcie:
As a Software Engineering Manager (Backend Chapter Lead) you’ll be responsible for driving the technical direction and engineering excellence of our backend discipline within a dynamic Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) environment. Operating in a matrix structure, you will set the standard for code quality by defining robust design patterns and championing Non-Functional Requirements to ensure our software remains sustainable and scalable. You will balance this technical leadership with people management, empowering your chapter members distributed across various Scrum teams to deliver high-performing, secure and reliable solutions.
Zakres obowiązków:

Standards & Best Practices: Lead the "Community of Practice" for backend engineering. Enforce coding and testing standards, security best practices, code review guidelines and testing protocols to ensure craftsmanship and consistency across all squads.
Architecture: Actively participate in architectural reviews. Balance feature delivery with long-term technical health, advocating for the strategic reduction of technical debt and modernization of legacy systems.
Operational Excellence: Champion a "You Build It, You Run It" culture. Drive initiatives to improve high availability, observability (logging, tracing, metrics), and reliability of backend services.
Growth & Mentorship: Drive performance reviews and career development conversations. Mentor engineers from Junior to Senior levels, helping them navigate technical and organizational challenges.
Resource Allocation: Collaborate with ART Trio (PM/SA/RTE) to ensure the right engineers are deployed to the right squads based on skills, business needs, and individual growth goals.
