Responsibilities
Engineering Manager for the Platform team at our client will have four key responsibilities:
■Technical Mentoring: You are the technical leader for the team. Participating in code reviews, design reviews, architecture discussions. Being responsible for meeting the Scaling, Performance & Quality requirements for the systems/components/libraries/frameworks developed by the team. Setting up best practices to help the team achieve the above and constantly thinking about improving the technology in use are your responsibilities. When needed, rolling up your sleeves to fix a critical issue or code up a module that can then be treated as a working reflection of the best practices are expectations. We believe it is important for developers to be able to look up to their manager as a technical mentor.
■Roadmap/Future Vision: Platform team needs to maintain a longer term vision and pro-actively think of improvements to the technology stack used across the board through identifying components that are generic and can be developed/maintained by the team. The team needs to be technology savvy and anticipate future requirements. EM for the team is expected to play an important role to build the vision and charter the roadmap for the team through collaboration and feedback from the rest of the teams/stakeholders.

Driving the performance appraisals for your team, and participating in compensation change discussions are important parts of this responsibility. We expect EMs to be diligent about this and ensure fairness. EMs are also responsible for building an open culture in the team, and increasing the levels of communication within and outside the team.

Should be able to weigh alternative solutions and make recommendations for varying scenarios.
■Deep Understanding of Data Persistence mechanisms: Data driven application design, Relational databases, SQL, NoSQL stores, Columnar stores and other high performance persistence software
■Exposure to complete product development cycles – From inception to production to scaling up, supporting new requirements, re-architectures – the EM should have seen it all and ideally in multiple cycles.
