While being a skilled technologist, an engineering manager is also a people manager and will make sure the team is motivated and well equipped to handle any technical challenge in front of them. In a nutshell, you will be both a governor of an ambassador of the technology and will need to make sure the organization is successful in using it.

What you will do:

• Stay up-to-date with the latest frameworks, tools, and techniques in the Node ecosystem and find ways to incorporate them into our portfolio;
• Define R&D topics and lead their implementation;
• Guide development projects through initial architectural design and implementation process through technical reviews;
• Define technical goals & processes for oneself and the Node dev team;
• Build certification and education paths for the team;
• Conduct technical, face-to-face interviews with candidates and support recruitment processes.

What you need for this role:

• Relevant experience providing technical leadership for technical teams of any size;
• Extensive hands-on experience with Node.js development (any modern framework will do);
• Experience estimating and architecting well structured Node-based applications;
• Working experience with a mature opinionated framework (such as Nest.js) or a minimalist framework (such as Express, Fastify) used in a highly structured context;
• Knowledge of relational data stores (PostgreSQL / MySQL) and volatile data stores (Redis);
• Optional, yet a big plus: knowledge of containerization technologies (preferably k8s), public cloud platforms, and microservices.
