Engineering Manager

A typical day as a Cogniter will contain the following tasks & responsibilities

• Manage a team of 5-10 engineers, developing services and applications for Cognite Data Fusion - a robust, state-of-the-art SaaS for industrial data.
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team consisting of designers, product managers and program managers to ensure the team builds the right product, that is of excellent quality and is delivered on time.
• Coaching all of your engineers with variable backgrounds, seniority and understanding of the domain they are solving to have high impact in the team.
• Working with your team to understand the users' problems and domain.
• Unblocking the team and collaborating with stakeholders outside of the team to resolve and mitigate problems.
• Being actively involved in setting product and technical direction.
• You do not shy away from writing code yourself, or help your team with code reviews, documentation, etc.
• Dogfooding our products to try to put yourself in our users’ shoes.
