  • Leverage your technical expertise to bring in and evangelize best practices as it relates to software development, team organization and team productivity.
  • Resolve conflicts across teams within Engineering and with other departments to ensure that everyone is aligned towards a common vision.
  • Serve as a thought leader and be prepared to present and defend the vision for the Engineering platform to the C-Suite and potentially, the Board.
Requirements and Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in an Engineering field, preferably in Computer Science.
  • At least 15 years of overall experience and at least 8 years of experience managing teams.
  • Experience leading teams of over 100 and scaling the Engineering org to 200+ engineers.
  • Expertise managing global teams would be a plus.
  • Proven experience managing, building and optimizing teams that are remote.
  • Excellent technical skills and prior experience at a Staff or Principal-level Engineer would be a huge plus.
  • Excellent Product Management skills and experience with aligning the Engineering org to deliver cutting edge B2C and B2B products and services.
  • Proven experience at mentoring highly talented IC's in the Engineering org and the technical ability to moderate discussions between them and make tough decisions.
  • Strong cross-department collaboration and interpersonal skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. String understanding of how to communicate effectively to IC's within the Engineering org, while also being comfortable presenting to the C-Suite.
  • Experience with some or all of the Metropolis tech stack - JVM based languages, AWS, Kubernetes, Event driven architecture - would be a plus.

When you join Metropolis, you'll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate. Our goal is to build an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and the best idea wins. You will play a key role in building and maintaining this culture as our organization grows. The anticipated base salary for this position is $250,000.00 to 300,000.00. The actual base salary offered is determined by a number of variables, including, as appropriate, the applicant's qualifications for the position, years of relevant experience, distinctive skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location of residence and/or place of employment.
