If you are an experienced Software Development Manager, we want to talk with you.

The services that power the Blink mobile and web apps live on this team. The Consumer and Internal Services (CIS) team owns the cloud services behind the Blink experience: the APIs the apps call, account identity and authentication, subscriptions and billing, push notifications, and integrations with partners such as Alexa. Millions of users and devices rely on these services every time they open the app, arm a system, or get an alert.

The charter is growing. The team is delivering new capabilities that Blink customers have been asking for. It owns the large-scale data pipelines that feed analytics across the Blink business. And it invents its own developer tools, using AI to help engineers ship better software faster.

• Mentor engineers, helping them to develop their skills and advance their careers
• Work with product and TPM stakeholders on product and program initiatives

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of engineering team management experience
• 5+ years of working directly within engineering teams experience
• 3+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• 5+ years of leading the definition and development of multi tier web services experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior leadership to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategy
• Experience in recruiting, hiring, mentoring/coaching and managing teams of Software Engineers to improve their skills, and make them more effective, product software engineers
