About the role and the team

You’ll help create an environment where engineers feel supported, challenged, and empowered to do their best work. You will work as part of a dedicated product team within Forma Design, partnering closely with Product and Design in an empowered product triad.

This role is about turningdesignautomationsinto a first-classproductcapability. Automations are created as reusable, configurable building blocks that can be applied and adapted across different projects andcontexts,without requiring users to write code or understand the underlying implementation.

As Engineering Manager, you will have the opportunity to apply and grow both your technical and people skills to enhance our product’s impact on our users’ workflows.

On the engineering side, you will work with a wide range of technologies, including web, large-scale systems, and cloud computing, tackling exciting challenges alongside a team of highly engaged and motivated colleagues. Our organizational culture encourages managers to contribute directly to the work while also supporting others.

On the managerial side, you’ll play an active role in our engineering management team, which collectively supports more than 60 engineers. Your main responsibilities as a manager will be to empower team members to succeed, foster a sense of belonging, and collaborate with other managers to build a solution-focused culture. In the spirit of servant leadership, we hope you’ll share your knowledge and expertise with other engineers, acting as both coach and culture bearer.

A few examples of your responsibilities:

• Lead and grow your engineering team fostering a collaborative, sustainable, and high-impact culture
• Coach and grow individual team members, supporting their professional development and guiding the team’s organic expansion as product demands evolve
• Partner closely with product managers, UX designers, and software architects to translate user needs into impactful, customer-facing features

About us
