Developer Supervisor
Glasgow, United Kingdom
Line manager for a UK based team working on US projects. Tasks include, approving time sheets, PTO, annual appraisals, on-boarding, training plans and other general admin for the team acting as a first port of call for work or project related questions. As well as performing supervisor duties, there is a continuation of the duties performed as a senior software engineer for Verint. So far this role has consisted of working on three projects for large US firms specialising in Health insurance, home and auto insurance and finance and more recently implementing reports and data extracts for our WFO customers. Communication is key in this role due to the logistics of working with an offshore team therefore a significant part of my role is to act as liaison between the team here in the UK and our US Professional Services team. General duties include assisting with requirements gathering, adding stories in Jira, estimating tasks, development, testing, aiding with releases and working in a team lead/lead developer role for the UK team on US projects. As this UK team consists of software engineers that are new to Verint, a major part of this role is mentoring the new engineers as they learn our propitiatory software. This also extends to our entire US Professional Services team, where my role includes assisting on other projects, giving updates on issues found, creating/adding to documentation that will help the whole team going forward.
