We are hiring a Software Development Manager to lead our front-end teams in India. The ideal candidate has a track record of creating the identity for engineering teams and defining how those teams work within a larger organization. You have mastered the ability to delegate both tasks, and larger assignments to your ICs and ensure that the right results are achieved even without your constant oversight. You are a technical leader that executives turn to when they want to build something new as you can align with company priorities and processes and create new ones where needed.

• You understand a broad range of computer science concepts, and know how, when, and when not to use them. You can dive deep into a wide range of technical problems offering suggestions and feedback to your team.

• You work with key stakeholders to deliver a high-quality product ensuring that software development always remains under control and on track.
• Your written and verbal communication skills are top notch. You can distil key points out of complex technical descriptions to share with non-technical stakeholders, adapting your language and style of communication depending on the audience. You communicate through data, dates, and facts using emotion judiciously to motivate and inspire.
• You lead by example and do not consider yourself above individual contributor work. You are comfortable teaching best practices by showing developers, not just telling people. Teams follow your lead because you are an inspirational leader, because you are right, and because you can show everyone high quality examples of your own work.
• You have demonstrated the ability to make great hiring decisions as is evidenced by the performance of developers on your team, and you are able to retain and develop the best developers.
• You have demonstrated the capacity to make decisions for more than one development team or functional area showing that your judgment is fungible.
