Description

About the role

Posit is seeking an Engineering Manager to drive software delivery and coach the talented, dedicated team working on our professional publishing products, including Posit Connect. You will be leading both people and process from this position, and you will have direct impact on the design, execution, and quality of one of Posit’s most powerful product suites. 

Posit Connect delivers value to businesses by empowering data scientists to rapidly deploy custom reports and applications. These artifacts, written in Python, R, Quarto, and more, allow data scientists to tell stories with data and solve real-world problems. Connect solves the challenges of putting code into production, including environment management and authentication, without requiring constant intervention from administrators. In this role, you will lead and empower a team of engineers working to make Connect even more useful and valuable to its users, as well as extending its reach into new markets. 

What you will own

  • Managing a team of individual contributors and leading them in shipping value to our customers
  • Maintaining the software development process, identifying and eliminating bottlenecks to empower the team to deliver with the least amount of friction
  • Supporting the humans on the team, helping them to grow and flourish

What you will help with

  • Collaborating with product management and technical leads to scope and plan projects and maintain the roadmap
  • Working with QA leadership and other stakeholders to ensure that we set and meet our high quality standards
  • Communicating about progress and obstacles across engineering teams in the company

What we will learn from each other

Depending on your background and expertise, some of these will be things you’ll teach us, and some will be areas where you will get to grow as part of the team.

  • New perspectives on how to organize and design processes that help us deliver the best quality software in a way that also is sustainable for the humans involved
  • Effective communication styles, both within the team, as in specifications and requirements docs, and with stakeholders, as in translating between user needs and technical work breakdowns 
  • A deeper understanding of cloud computing and integrations, particularly how they relate to data science workflows
  • Differences between delivering a product that runs on premises versus a SaaS product and the implications of that difference for the development process
  • The Posit products, both open-source and commercial, and how they empower our customers to do effective data science through code

Within one month, you will…

  • Get to know everyone on the product team and become familiar with our current software development practices
  • Start building relationships with your direct reports to understand their goals and how they align to the team’s objectives
  • Dig into our issue backlog and product strategy and start connecting the dots
  • Get familiar with the development culture and practices by reading code, reviewing pull requests, asking good questions, and engaging with the substance of our work
  • Ship something small. Writing code won’t be a primary job responsibility, but getting your hands on the code at this stage will help you to better understand the context in which your team works.

Within three months, you will…

  • Facilitate our regular cadence of software development and delivery, identifying ways to improve our workflows and processes
  • Successfully guide the delivery of a high impact project
  • Participate in planning and roadmapping to help the team identify our best opportunities
  • Establish trust with your direct reports, be familiar with their individual growth plans, and start looking for opportunities to enable their ongoing career development

Within twelve months, you will…

  • Coordinate major initiatives that span across multiple releases
  • Give tactical guidance on how best to deliver complex projects
  • Provide career development resources; grow leadership and enable technical achievement across the team

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
