Engineering Manager

Remote Geneva, Switzerland
Java
Description
Why should I Apply:

At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.

We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.

The impact you will have  

As an Engineering Manager at Sonar, you will lead a squad of 5-10 developers to build, automate and operate software used by millions of Sonar customers worldwide. You will own the professional growth and development of your team, enabling them to build well-crafted software for our products, and promoting a high-performance engineering culture. 

You will improve our products by leading the elaboration of the squad's annual and quarterly objectives in close collaboration with the Product Management team while contributing to and overseeing technical architecture and engineering direction. 

You will help to bring consistency across SonarSource’s engineering organization by collaborating closely with your engineering manager peers to foster and share engineering best practices.

As part of the role, you will participate in an on-call rotation to provide timely support and address any critical system issues that may arise outside of regular working hours.

On a daily basis, you will

  • Lead and manage a team of Engineers, providing guidance, support, and mentorship to help individuals grow in autonomy and contribute to the team's success.
  • Ensure that the engineers are equipped for success to deliver a monthly release of SonarQube.
  • Help engineers build a platform for the delivery of other functional squads.
  • Hold yourself and your team accountable to a high engineering standard.
  • Foster a safe culture of feedback, continuous improvement, and collaboration, encouraging team members to share their ideas and concerns openly.
  • Align feedback with other teams to ensure things operate smoothly between teams.
  • Partner with product managers, designers, and team leads to develop and communicate a clear vision for the squad that aligns with the company strategy and ensure that the team's work and focus align with this vision.
  • Be responsible that the squad defines clear objectives aligned with team, department, and company goals.
  • Be accountable that the squad tracks sprints and progress.
  • Be accountable that processes and ceremonies align with company expectations to deliver the best product successfully.
  • Ensure the right level of collaboration happens with the squad stakeholders (Product Managers, developer squads, Marketing, Management, etc.).
  • Partner with the Hiring team to recruit talented Engineers for the team. Participate in improving the hiring process for the team and ensuring we recruit enough to reach our goals.
  • Be accountable that the onboarding of new team members is happening in the squad.
  • Lead by example, modeling the behaviors and values that the company holds dear, including humility and servant leadership.

The technical skills you will demonstrate

  • 8+ years of software development or equivalent experience in the software development domain, with a strong understanding of software testing. 
  • Having a developer mindset: experience with coding lifecycle, ability to produce secure code, to do code reviews, and to jump into an unknown codebase, language, and framework.
  • Advanced knowledge of the Java ecosystem and a good understanding of the DevOps mindset.
  • Good knowledge of at least one programming language along with its development environment to understand end-user's context and expectations.
  • Experience with Agile methodologies.

The leadership skills you will demonstrate

  • 3+ years of experience in a leadership or management role, with a proven track record of delivering results and building high-performing teams.
  • A growth mindset and a passion for helping individuals and teams reach their full potential.
  • Strong decision-making skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and resources effectively.
  • Capability to make concrete progress in the face of ambiguity and imperfect knowledge.

The soft skills you will demonstrate

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to clearly identify the problem to be solved and articulate it, before jumping to possible solutions/actions.
  • Ability to deliver effective feedback.
  • Good listening skills.
  • Ability to face small conflicts in a healthy way and help parties resolve them.
  • High level of autonomy and still accepting help and feedback from team members and peers.
  • Ability to challenge yourself.
Why you will love it here:

Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness – and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!). We believe that the best idea wins and everyone has a voice.
We believe that great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly and laid-back while still being passionate leaders in our domains. Our 550+ SonarSourcers from 33 different nationalities can relate!
We embrace work-life balance. It is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This is why we have a flexible work policy that includes remote and in-office hybrid work (minimum three days a week in the office - Monday/Tuesday/Thursday).
We have a growth mindset. We love to learn and believe that continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are a must, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.


We prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:

At Sonar, we are a global workforce and recognize the value of different backgrounds, and global cultures.

We are committed to creating a diverse work environment and are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
