Engineering Lead / Engineering ManagerCraigavon | Permanent
The role
Our client, a global business, is looking for an Engineering Lead to take on the people and delivery leadership of a software engineering team building and supporting business critical systems.
Youll be the person the team looks to for direction, support and organisation, rather than the deepest technical expert in the room. Youll grow into the role with the backing of the Associate Director of Software Engineering, who is keen to develop someone at this stage of their leadership career.
What youll be doing
- Leading a team of software engineers day to day, including running stand ups, planning and team ceremonies
- Line managing engineers: one to ones, objectives, performance reviews and development plans
- Mentoring and coaching engineers at mid and senior level, helping them grow technically and professionally
- Keeping delivery on track, removing blockers and making sure priorities are clear
- Acting as the link between the engineering team, senior leadership and the wider business
- Owning the teams admin and governance: resourcing, recruitment, onboarding, reporting and process in a regulated environment
- Contributing to technical discussions and decisions with enough credibility to guide the team, without being the hands on lead developer
What were looking for
- Around 1 to 2+ years of leading teams, ideally with some direct line management
- Experience running stand ups, sprint planning and agile delivery for an engineering team
- A genuine interest in people management and mentoring, and the organisational skills to handle the admin that comes with it
- Clear, confident communication with both technical and non technical stakeholders
- Credibility across a modern enterprise stack. Familiarity with some of the following is helpful: Java / Spring, Angular, AWS, Oracle
Nice to have
- Experience in a regulated environment such as pharma, life sciences, financial services or banking
- Experience of growing a team through hiring and onboarding
What this role is not
- Not a project or programme manager role
- Not suited to someone with 10+ years in senior management
- Not a principal engineer or architect role. Technical understanding matters, but leadership is the priority
