They manage both the technical and the people side of their teams; being both a career mentor as well as a technical mentor for their developers.

As an engineering manager you are expected to be able to write and optimize code, as well as ensure that your developers can do the same.

Don't worry if your experience or background doesn't match all of these areas, we believe a
broad spectrum of experience provides great perspective on solving problems in new and innovative ways and we’d love to hear from you.
You might lead teams that:
- Build tools to schedule multi-party communication with heavy constraints
