About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Manage a small group of engineers responsible for a major product area, balancing technical contribution with team leadership.

- Recruit and coach talented engineers, decide which skills the team needs, design the hiring evaluation and support each person's development.
- Increase release speed and dependability during rapid growth by reducing incidents, spotting problems early and building solid incident response habits.
Requirements

- Willingness and ability to dive into code when the team needs it.
- Based in Canada or the US and available during US time zones.
