YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
As an Engineering Manager you will devise the engineering strategy along with our enterprise architecture and product team and deliver it. Bring in the knowledge and best practices that enables our existing sourced IT solutions to integrate through APIs leveraging Data & Event Mesh architecture using next generation technology stack.
You will also:
• recruit, lead and organise a multi-cultural team of software & system engineers following lean and DevOps principles to implement, evolve, support, and own software and system components to Group Digital quality standards. Must have prior experience in leading a multi-cultural team.
• though the technologies we are using are e.g. Oracle Unifier, IBM Maximo, GCP, we are looking for a leader who can leverage existing whilst bringing in new technologies (e.g. cloud agnostic) and ramp up the team capability on new technologies. You must have hands on experience with GCP to start with.


TOGETHER AS A TEAM
We’re a new team that will consisting of around 6 people. We are quite autonomous, self-organizing and self-sufficient in many ways, which means part of our daily work is to define how we get things done together. We are based in Helsingborg, Sweden, but a mix of local and remote work is not a problem.
We are passionate about our engineering culture, where fast feedback is enabled by automation, focus on minimum viable product or ‘proof of concepts’ and analysis of our engineering performance. Anyone on our team can come with ideas on things to work on. Such ideas often lead to a few people teaming up to build a first implementation and demoing it with business/digital consumers to learn if the idea is good or not. After analyzing the feedback and test results further product decisions are made.
We value development speed and fast feedback a lot together with our business consumers and integrate or build the tools we need if none of the sourced ones meet our needs. We are responsible for the things we build throughout the whole lifecycle, which means operations is an important part of our work.
