Joining us is a chance to take your skills and expertise and build solutions for the real world that strengthen the connection between clients, their mission, and their communities.

WHO WE NEED

Reporting to the Sr Director, Software Engineering, we are looking for an Engineering Manager. You will join a squad of eight and lead the work of a cross-functional team building and optimizing complex products for clients of all sizes, developing association management, registration, and online community management software and features for our MC Trade and MC Professional products. In addition, you will collaborate with other Engineering Managers to implement efficient software development processes and standardize tools and technologies across different teams.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a software developer with direct experience leading the work of a small team. You are looking for an opportunity to expand your influence over people and products at a place where you can apply your insights and best practices. You are highly self-aware and have a commitment to success that lends to your coaching skills - you are passionate about bringing out the best in people. Cutting-edge tech, learning as you go and seeing the impact you make are critical motivators. You thrive in a role where you can think like an engineer - solving complex problems logically, planning a strategic approach, and ensuring successful delivery of customer-facing products.

WHAT\'S IN IT FOR YOU

Exposure, impact, and influence. With over 3B interactions, Personify\'s solutions need to be stable, resilient, scalable, and engaging for the 30K+ organizations that use our products. You want to manage a self-organized team - that plans its own approach and technologies - by influencing and directing the conversation and choices to ensure high-quality outcomes. You will see your ideas come together - and make their way into the hands of end-users within weeks or days.

Cutting-edge technologies. Just because you are a leader doesn\'t mean your heart still isn\'t in coding. This is a role where you will be a key collaborator, working with advanced technologies to produce features and functionality for our products. You will gain recognition and respect as you introduce best practices, conduct research and actively contribute new ideas, tools and methodologies to our design and development process. We use AWS cloud infrastructure, Docker Containers, and Kubernetes to build and launch real world applications for our clients.

Collaboration and career growth. At Personify, we offer a balance between established and responsive, between new and tenured. We are proud to say, many of our team members have been here for 5, 10, even 15 years. And, we have people who\'ve joined us recently. The management team at Personify is supportive and encourages professional development, creating space for you to grow in your hands-on skills and team leadership with the option to try new avenues and pivot back if that\'s what you need to do your best work. Joining us now is a chance to accelerate your career and grow your influence as a people manager
