Job Description
Engineering Manager leading a squad at Cerby, a mission-critical cybersecurity company. Oversee team performance, hiring, and operational excellence while fostering an innovative culture.
Responsibilities:
- Manage a squad of engineers through regular 1:1s, structured feedback, and individualized growth plans.
- Own performance management end-to-end: set clear expectations, deliver honest and timely feedback, run performance reviews, and address underperformance proactively.
- Partner with engineers on career pathing—helping ICs grow toward senior, staff, or leadership roles based on their goals and the company’s needs.
- Identify and close skill gaps through targeted development opportunities: training, mentorship, stretch projects, and learning programs.
- Build and maintain psychological safety within the team—an environment where engineers speak up, take ownership, and learn from failure without fear.
- Lead engineering hiring for your squad: define role requirements, partner with people, conduct structured interviews, and make hiring decisions.
- Build a compelling candidate experience that reflects Cerby’s engineering culture and mission.
- Proactively manage retention risk by understanding what motivates each team member and addressing concerns before they become attrition.
- Own delivery predictability and team velocity: ensure the squad ships consistently against committed OKRs and sprint goals.
- Optimize team rituals—standups, sprint planning, retrospectives—for efficiency, clarity, and continuous improvement.
- Communicate team status, risks, and dependencies clearly and proactively to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Define and track team OKRs aligned with company and product goals, and report on progress with transparency.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for engineering leadership and cross-functional partners on people and delivery topics.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong enough technical foundation to earn credibility with senior engineers.
- 2+ years of engineering management experience, ideally in a high-growth or scaling environment (Series A–C preferred).
- Demonstrated track record of growing engineers—promotions, career moves, skill development—not just shipping product.
- Experience managing performance: supporting high performers and handling underperformance with clarity and care.
- Strong hiring instincts: experience building interview pipelines, evaluating candidates, and closing competitive offers.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills—able to represent the team upward and across the organization.
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and making sound people decisions without perfect information.
- Experience with agile development methodologies and a pragmatic approach to process.
- BS or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Benefits:
- Professional development opportunities
