The Cloud Team
At the heart of Hayden's urban intelligence products and edge devices lies our dynamic Cloud team. Every day, these devices collect millions of real-world events as they navigate the physical environment. Our Cloud team tackles the challenge of capturing, storing, organizing, and processing this vast data stream to unlock its full value for Hayden, our partners, and our customers.
Hayden's Cloud tech stack is comprehensive, spanning from low-level cloud infrastructure to user-facing frontends, customer business logic processing, and powerful data analytics. Data privacy is paramount, and it's a core principle woven into both our technical architecture and development processes.
As our team scales, we're seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager to join our Cloud Engineering Leadership. You'll lead a team of talented software engineers who are responsible for a critical collection of cloud applications and services that power Hayden's products.
What the job involves
People: Motivation is key to having a high performing team. You will inspire strong performers to go even further. Your actionable feedback will help low performers to rise up. You will use company goals to set clear goals for your team members, hold the team accountable, and provide support to achieve them.
Execution: You will establish and run a day-to-day process within the team that will allow the team to ship high-quality products while adhering to a predictable release schedule. You will have to pragmatically combine elements of different software development methodologies to achieve that. You will mitigate risks, eliminate bottlenecks, and focus relentlessly on productivity.
Product: We are a young company, and you will have a strong say in how the product is defined. We expect you to be a customer voice in front of the team and a team voice in front of the customer. You will work closely with Product Management and Customer Success organizations to accomplish that.
Technical: A highly technical product requires hands-on leaders. We expect you to be in the weeds, interacting with engineers on pull requests and design documents. You do not have to be the fastest coder in the team, but you will have to lead from the front.
