What’s the opportunity?
We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead our new Platform Experience team — the group responsible for owning the internal services, tooling, and infrastructure that empower our global Engineering teams to deliver quickly, safely, and at scale. In this role you’ll collaborate with other engineering leaders across the organisation to understand points of friction with internal platforms and processes, and deliver solutions that enhance the day to day developer experience whilst supporting Qoria’s strategic goals. You’ll lead a team of engineers and be responsible for their development and performance, as well as the management and delivery of our internal Platform roadmap. If you’re passionate about building a better engineering experience every day, this is the role for you!
What you'll bring:
The skills and experience listed below will give you a sense of our practices and tech stack. We’d love you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We’re pro-learning, good engineering and coding paradigms, rather than specific tools.
