Engineering Manager

Do you enjoy the people aspect of being an Engineer Manager?

You’ll be the second Engineering Manager here at Toca Boca joining forces with Fredrik in building a great employee experience for the engineers at a company known for its great culture and inclusivity. Here you can take your ideas, try them out, put them into action and help shape how we do people management.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work together with Fredrik in leading our team of developers. You’ll focus on the people side of things, working with developers, from front- to backend, game developers and DevOps Engineers. The developers are all part of various projects, working on products such as Toca Life World and yet to be released Toca Days.

You’ll get to know all team members and create individual development plans and goals for everyone. You’ll understand what motivates an individual in the team and what they need to perform at a higher level, and give them the support needed. You’ll be a mentor for the team, someone they can reach out to for advice and guidance.

You’ll ensure that the yearly salary reviews run smoothly without a hitch because you’ll work with, and manage, people's expectations and address them early on so there are no surprises in the review and salary process.

You will stay up to date with what is going on in the projects, sharing and passing on information. New challenges will surely arise and you will rise to the task.
Is this you?

You are an experienced people manager with a background in tech. You’ve probably worked as a developer in the past but your current focus is on developing people. You can relate to the developers and have an understanding for what they do and the challenges they face.

You enjoy the people aspect of being an Engineering Manager. You want to build the best team rather than creating the best technical solution.

As a person you are calm, methodical, empathetic with great integrity. And you believe in the power of play.
