Job Description

Algolia is looking for an engineering manager in Paris to take on a leadership position. Your role will be to set up your team for success, helping them to grow in all directions (from development to communication and productivity) while ensuring they achieve their short-term objectives and long-term goals.

As an engineering manager you know how to prioritize your actions: when to work for your team, when to do individual contributions to help them and when to challenge them without micromanaging.

As an experienced developer, you still love being hands-on to solve problems when needed. You can work with different technologies, languages and frameworks and you’re not afraid to adapt to an unknown technical stack.

As a leader, you enjoy mentoring, people development and hiring. You have done it before and want to keep learning in this field.
Your mission will be to generate and encourage a supportive, inclusive and collaborative environment to motivate the team to produce their best work and be happy to come in to work everyday.

This is a full-time opportunity in Paris. Relocation package and work permit are provided when applicable.

Coming right from Alexandre, one of our engineering managers: "As an Engineering Manager at Algolia, you have the opportunity to work alongside super talented people on a great product. You can really have an impact, helping teams achieve their best as well as fostering individual growth and development."

YOUR ROLE WILL CONSIST OF:

  • Help the team plan, execute and ship releases respecting timelines and high quality development, working closely with the product and leadership teams
  • Coach and mentor engineers to excel at their work and grow
  • Hire and onboard engineers to build a diverse and excellent team

A TYPICAL DAY AS AN ENGINEERING MANAGER:

  • First thing in the morning is a one on one with one of your team member. Respecting the maker's schedule of your teammates you booked those meetings early in the morning, right after lunch or at the end of the day. That way people can have long uninterrupted sessions of work. Ideally you prepared this session for it to be efficient
  • Right after that, you check any important mention you got by email, GitHub or Slack, to see if someone needs your immediate attention or advice on their work
  • Your team is growing so you check the recruiting tool to see if there are any good candidate in the pipe, you will ping the recruiting team if so
  • It's lunch time!
  • After lunch you have a screening call with an engineer for your team, again you prepared this by making sure to read the candidate profile and being clear about the current needs in your team
  • Now it's time to get some individual contribution. At Algolia depending on the team you are managing you will spend between 20% and 50% of your time on individual contributions. Today you'll fix the continuous integration build for your team to be efficient
  • After that you have a design meeting with the product manager of your team where you will spend time together with another engineer designing a new feature on your product
  • Now one of your teammate wants you to review a presentation for a meetup they will attend, it's nice to be involved in it and be able to make people grow in different skills
  • Finally, you start wrapping up the day by preparing the next day: You have a weekly team meeting where everyone will update on the status of their projects along with bringing any discussion wort having as a group
  • As an engineering manager you are used to those days sliced in many small events. Context switching is part of your job and one you are good at, while still being able to have focused individual contributions when needed
