How you'll be contributing to Accurx as a Platform Engineering Manager...
Engineering Managers at Accurx are technologists who love helping teams solve customer problems. As EM of our Platform team you’ll lead the team that focuses on delivering the platform and infrastructure, allowing our engineers to deliver our Accurx products efficiently and reliably.
Collaborating with senior technical stakeholders in the business (including engineering leadership, security and data, and principal engineers), you will get to know your users (engineers) and have a great understanding of how the platform team brings value not only to the product engineering org but to the wider business. This will allow you to - working with the team - outline a strong vision for the roadmap of the Platform team. You will guide and influence the “Why” (our outcomes) and the “What” (our platform team roadmap), making sure that it is well understood by your engineers.
You’ll have management responsibility for a team of engineers.
You will spend a lot of your time making the “What” a reality by focusing on the “Who” and the “How”.
