Now is the time to join us! 

Who are you?

The engineering manager is the strategic and operational leader of an engineering group within Virgin Pulse, focused on data products. Data products are product features that are user-facing and auto-generated from data in the system, most of which are not directly from the users themselves. The features are created using algorithms ranging from collaborative filtering to machine learning, all based on the massive amount of data.

The engineering manager is responsible for creating and managing a high-performing group that delivers product with quality, timeliness, and scalability. An EM will have a good cultural fit if he/she aligns with our organizational focus on customer-centric efficiency, long-term thinking, and passion for technology.

• Ensure Engineering and team success

   

• Serve as the Engineering leader and representative for your team

   

• Improve operational efficiency and develop a vision that leads to long term success of engineering teams

   

• Acquire in-depth knowledge of your team's charter as well as the charters of other teams

   

• Communicate clearly, candidly, and empathetically with the team members you manage

   

• Cultivate a high performing team meeting, which will help VP Engineering to exceed key performance indicators (KPIs)

   

• Establish and maintain excellent collaboration with Product Managers working on planning, sequencing, and compromises

   

• Spearhead various research and development initiatives to identify opportunities for new projects and improved processes

   

• Coordinate and conduct various tests and quality assurance checks to verify the quality of completed projects/features

   

• Hire and Develop team members

   

• Monitor and determine various staffing and training needs
