About the Role:
Frontiers publishes research that moves science forward, and software engineers build the platforms behind it. We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of 3-6 software engineers and turn strategic business goals into software that ships and works.
You’ll split your time between people and business delivery. You won’t just manage tasks. You’ll shape how the team works, grow the people in it, and help decide what gets built and why. You’ll report to the Head of Engineering and work closely with Product Managers, Technology leadership and other departments.
What you'll work with:
- Turn team and portfolio objectives into clear plans, and drive execution.
- Oversee day-to-day operations, including resource allocation and task assignment.
- Use your judgment to resolve issues and manage risks, with real autonomy in your decisions.
- Mentor engineers, give honest feedback, set clear expectations and support their growth.
- Keep the team aligned through open discussion and clear communication, inside Engineering and across teams.
- Spot process improvements and apply best practices that raise efficiency and software quality.
- Work with key clients, partners and users to make sure we build the right thing.
- Support line management constructively and help shape strategy and OKRs.
How We’ll Measure Success
- Strategic software initiatives are delivered successfully.
- Team productivity, performance and software quality improve.
- Team members grow professionally.
- Line management gets constructive support from you.
