This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Sweden.

📋 Description

• We are seeking an Engineering Manager to assist in the growth and development of our Databases Metrics teams.

• Our managers play a vital role in fostering a productive atmosphere for our engineers, whether it's by eliminating blockers and impediments, promoting collaboration and understanding across teams, or empowering the team to enhance and refine their working practices continuously.

• You will be accountable for leading a team of engineers focused on our Metrics products and helping them achieve peak performance.

⛳️ Requirements

• The primary emphasis of this role is on people management, yet you should possess sufficient technical expertise to oversee a highly technical team and product.

• Ideally, you will hold a Computer Science degree or possess equivalent experience gained from working as an engineer before transitioning into management.
