At Famly, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to manage our growing number of highly skilled engineers, and to help us build an even greater product.
As EM for either our Payments or Billing crew, you would work with the engineers who build and maintain our current Finance and Payments domain.
We are looking for someone who has a lot of process experience in running a SCRUM based delivery process for an engineering crew, and tap into an existing process together with the other engineering manager in Famly. You must have good people skills as well.
We expect a technical understanding, enabling you to assist with debugging, tech scoping, but you are not required to participate in the actual development of our product.
The position is Copenhagen-based.
And Famly are...? Well it all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper ‘parent’ books they exchanged once a month just weren’t cutting it. Together with his friend, our co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.
These days, the 140 of us building Famly talk about trying to do two things for our 6,500+ customers:
Giving children the best possible start to life.
Championing the vital work that goes into making that happen.
We do it with software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 50,000 childcare professionals, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.
Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter. Come help us make that happen.
What you'll be doing:
Managing a crew (team) of approx 4 - 6 engineers, some on-site and some fully remote
Running efficient SCRUM-based development processes, building great features but also creating time for handling tech-debt, fixing bugs, and maintaining our platform.
Work closely with your crew's product manager to plan out and prioritise development work for the crew
Participate in scoping out work and initial early estimation for features
Ensure proper planning and estimation of development tasks
Collaborate with departments outside of Engineering and be the anchor point to your crew
Facilitate and plan technical onboarding of new engineers
Actively participate in the hiring of new engineers, both on-location and remote working
In collaboration with other EMs and our CTO, work on ensuring we have the best development processes
Develop and motivate your team of engineers
