Job Description
Technical Engineering Manager
K1X
• Contribute directly to technical delivery: 40-60% of your time will be spent writing production code, conducting code reviews, driving architectural design, and debugging. • Maintain an active engineering practice in our C# .NET and Angular codebase. You should be able to sit down and contribute with a minimal ramp period. • Foster continuous improvement in engineering practices, processes, and tooling with an emphasis on quality, security, and DevOps excellence. • Drive adoption of test automation as a first-class engineering practice, not an afterthought, ensuring new features and bug fixes ship with appropriate test coverage • Guide architectural decisions and help the team navigate complex technical tradeoffs, while empowering engineers to own the solutions. • Lead the team in prioritization and delivery planning, ensuring alignment to business objectives and predictable execution. • Partner with Product Managers and stakeholders to communicate team progress, dependencies, and technical considerations, including proactively surfacing challenges. • Collaborate with Product Managers to improve scrum team efficiency and ensure proper prioritization and scheduling of technical work alongside feature delivery. • Guide and support your team during high-pressure periods like peak tax season, ensuring clarity of goals while creating space for team autonomy. • Mentor and coach team members to deepen their technical skills, communication abilities, and understanding of product objectives and business context. • Develop team members through meaningful 1-on-1s and structured growth opportunities - your team should grow at an above-average pace. • Build and maintain a strong team culture through trust, transparency, and zero-ego leadership. • Influence decisions around team composition, hiring plans, resource needs, and organizational design as the company scales. • Participate in hiring as an experienced hiring manager, building a diverse and high-performing team. • Maintain deep product knowledge and help the team understand customer needs, tax workflows, and business priorities. • Establish and model the technical standards, communication patterns, and behaviors you expect across the team.
