Senior Engineering Manager / Tech Team Lead i Sweden

Om tjänsten

We're now looking to bring on an experienced engineering manager within the product development organization.

As the Manager for our tech team(s) you'll share responsibility with the CTO in the technical development of the platform, but will mainly be tasked to manage the interpersonal and process-related aspects of the software development; reporting directly to the CEO.

The Challengermode platform is currently being developed by one large cross-functional team of software engineers and designers. The growing team has a wide range of responsibilities and is currently in need of more hands-on management and mentorship. As our CTO is mostly focused on the technical and architectural aspects of the platform development, we’re looking for a strong leader with a background in software engineering to complement the CTOs duties on the managerial side of things. 

As the company grows we expect this role to evolve into a Director-level position where you’ll work on scaling the organization into multiple teams, overseeing other managers, and building a modern product organization together with the CTO and the rest of the company leadership.
