About the Team​

You will collaborate with UX, Product, and other development teams to deliver best-in-class solutions for our customers.

You'll work directly with, but not limited to, the following technologies:

React, TypeScript, MaterialUI, Jenkins, GitHub

  • Directly manage multiple team members, coach and mentor team members, including scoping work and prioritising tasks

  • Mentor engineers and help them grow their skills, identify growth areas, set expectations, and provide feedback

  • Managing projects and socialising progress across engineering teams and leadership 

  • Keep a keen eye on quality, performance, and security posture, and continue to drive improvements to testing, scalability, monitoring and alerting

  • Work cross functionally with PM, UX, and Engineering to address specific customer pain points and to think strategically about the future direction of the product

  • Work closely with other managers and teams across the InsightIDR team to align efforts and initiatives

  • Kickstart new ideas, build proof of concepts, and jumpstart newly funded projects

  • Managing projects and socialising progress across engineering teams and leadership

  • Lead JIRA boards, architectural discussions, and technical design sessions

The skills you’ll bring include:

  • 5+ years of programming experience

  • 3+ years of experience in management

  • A track record for mentoring and growing software engineers at all levels

  • A demonstrable passion for all things software engineering, including knowledge of React, Design systems, and TypeScript

  • Experience working cross-functionally with PM and Engineering teams

  • Experience with managing multiple high-impact projects

  • Capable of managing high-intensity situations when they arise

  • BEng, BSc, or related technical field or equivalent practical experience
