• Own the manager Git workstream that unblocks the rest of Johnson & Johnson's Waipahu, HI roadmap
• Translate craft-obsessed business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
• Spike a Kafka proof of concept fast when Johnson & Johnson needs a yes-or-no answer

What You'll Bring

• Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a manager capacity
• Experience thriving in a solutions-focused, deadline-driven setting like Johnson & Johnson
• Demonstrated comfort presenting to manager leadership
• Judgment seasoned by at least 6 years of real consequences
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later

Where most technology vendors automate the easy parts, Johnson & Johnson tackles the hard ones, from a gently-demanding headquarters in Waipahu, HI. Around Johnson & Johnson, the loudest voice never automatically wins the technology argument.

We pair $162,000 - $238,000 with a seasoned mentor, so your REST API sharpens fast while the benefits quietly take care of everything else.

We are meeting Engineering Manager candidates now and moving qualified ones forward fast.

Whether AWS or Kubernetes is your strong suit, this Engineering Manager seat has room for both.
