Senior Software Engineering Manager | Percona | Worldwide

We’re looking for a Software Engineering Manager to oversee the development and maintenance of our Percona Distribution for MongoDB by leading and supporting our MongoDB development team. Percona Distribution for MongoDB provides the best and most critical enterprise components to the open-source community, in a single distribution, designed and tested to work together.

We need someone that has a background in developing efficient processes, ensuring a high pace of delivery and has a demonstrated track record of working across teams as well as with the broader open-source community to ensure that vital information is not lost as complex development requirements span multiple teams. The Percona people are our most vital asset, so you should be someone that looks to continually invest in helping them be better every day.

What You Will Do

Hire and lead a globally-distributed, empowered team of 8-10 software developers ranging from experienced to very senior
Partner and support the Product Management team in collaboratively creating a roadmap and deliverables, by reviewing and discussing priorities and efforts required
Drive software delivery through championing team velocity, predictability, and accountability
Develop people through coaching, mentoring, and management support
ensuring team health and individual growth
Expect to spend roughly 25% of your time contributing technically (e.g. supporting the team in reviewing and refining backlogs, code reviews, architectural reviews, etc.)
Work with engineering teams, product managers, and others across team boundaries to maintain high levels of transparency, efficiency, collaboration and set context with the team so they are empowered and equipped to make great business and engineering-informed decisions
Continually find ways to improve quality, processes, and efficiencies through technology and automation
Ownership of the team’s results, building on the good, and taking corrective action on the opportunities

What You Have Done

4+ years of experience leading and managing development teams
A cross-team facilitator: collaborating with other teams and figuring out how to get things running more smoothly
High level of organization with a proven ability to prioritize, manage, budget, and deliver on time
Software Development experience is a must! Most components of Percona Distribution for Mongo are written in C/C++/Go, so knowledge of one or more of these programming languages is a big plus
Experience with deploying and running MySQL and related components
Knowledgeable about open source software and development processes
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Experience in project management with the ability to decompose complicated projects into simple tasks, estimates and manage risks
Self directed with the ability to operate independently without needing everyday input
Maturity to build relationships and operate across the organization (not locked to only operate in the vertical chain)

What Will Make You Stand Out

To truly stand out you should be passionate about databases and about leading software development teams.
You should be able to point to the obstacles you’ve overcome to build amazing teams who in turn deliver amazing software experiences!
Your attitude and aptitude are truly what will get you the role, with your past experiences landing you the interview.
