Engineering Manager - Platform Engineering Connectivity
Berlin, Berlin, De
Currently managing 2 groups with 5 teams and 20 engineers. Grew the Connectivity group from one team of 4 people to a fully international (Barcelona, Berlin, NYC) group with 3 teams and 9 engineers. Took over responsibiltiies for the whole Infrastructure group.The Connectivity group has a huge focus on security and reliability, setting up and developing the right tools in order to ensure our services can communicate securely, with other services, our partners, and our clients!My main focus has been the following:* Forming and managing tech leads on their growth path.* Helping engineers through their career's path by defining achievable goals through individual professional development plan.* Working closely on compliance and security topics (BCM, Privileged Access...) in order to make our infrastructure as secure as possible* Defining group and domain level OKRs in order to ensure we track and map our success* Developing the group's long term technical vision and roadmap; Ensuring the teams can be independent and fostering a bottom-up approach.* Developing the group's structure, defining hiring plans.* Growing a fully global and international group (Barcelona, Berlin, NYC)Our infrastructure is mostly working around Cloud with AWS and Kubernetes. I have strong belief that Cloud Native provide very powerful tools (Kubernetes, Service Mesh...) in order to implement a secure, compliant, and modern platform.
