Responsibilities

Start leading in our Trust and Safety problem space. As part of this, you’ll do all the usual day-to-day line management activities: high quality 1:1s, give regular feedback, work on career development, run performance reviews, create promotion cases. You’ll learn about and be able to support people in a range of different situations and with different needs, including remote working, neurodiversity, and from different backgrounds to you. You’ll watch out for potential for bias in various forms, and proactively work to minimise potential for burnout amongst your team

Be accountable for the overall technical delivery in your team(s), including considering factors (and tradeoffs between) speed, tech debt, quality, non-functional requirements, and knowing how your domain contributes meaningfully to company goals

Actively form strong relationships and partnerships with your cross-functional leads in product, design, DS/ML, security, operations, and beyond, working together on quarterly roadmaps, headcount needs, prioritisation, processes, and overall strategy

Think about the future and how we can use technology as an advantage, whether through Machine Learning, technology-relation horizon scanning, commitment to research, use of third parties (build vs buy), minimising bottlenecks, fire prevention (rather than fighting), as well as looking at how you can set up your team through people-related/developer experience system and process improvements

Gain an understanding of our business, our customers, and the domains we work in, allowing you to use your judgement to contribute to technology-related decisions

Collaborate with other leaders on continuously improving our engineering culture

Work on wider initiatives in the Engineering Manager community, whether that’s locally in Trust and Safety, or more broadly

Take part in hiring and other practical activities to help strengthen our overall BumbleTech team
