Engineering Manager

About Andela:
At Andela, we know brilliance is evenly distributed around the world, but opportunity is not. For over 10 years, Andela has connected its customers with top global, remote technical talent from over 135 countries with the majority residing in emerging markets like Africa and Latin America.

As one of the world's largest talent marketplaces, Andela gives companies greater flexibility to quickly deploy qualified technologists. With talent highly skilled in advanced technologies to support Application Development, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud & DevOps, Data Engineering, and much more, customers experience 33% faster project delivery. The company's exclusive AI-powered platform, Andela Talent Cloud, is the industry's only unified platform managing the complete global talent lifecycle and enables customers to fill individual roles or engage fully managed teams up to 66% faster.

Andela is on the precipice of two breakout industry transformations: one in staffing/hiring and the other in software development, both accelerated by generative AI.

Are you an exceptional, hungry leader seasoned in scaling businesses through transformation and growth? Join us and change the world.

Job Summary:

Andela is looking for an experienced Software Engineering Manager with a strong background in Ruby on Rails to lead, mentor, and scale high-performing engineering teams. Reporting to the Chief Product and Technical Officer, the Engineering Manager is a critical role for the growth of Andela. In this role, you'll balance technical leadership with people management, ensuring teams deliver high-quality software while growing their skills and careers.

You'll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineering leaders to drive execution, improve engineering practices, and contribute to Andela's long-term technical vision.

Exceptional Leadership:

As an Andelan, you'll serve as a role model for the rest of the company. Think about the feedback your peers typically give you – if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you.

Low ego, low drama, servant leader: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.
One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone.
Great listener, hungry for feedback: You're always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
Player-coach: You fly high (create strategy) AND low (know the details that matter). You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this proactively collaborating with your team while actively engaging in important details.
Business problem solver: You're not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and manage a team of software engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement
Provide technical guidance and architectural oversight for Ruby on Rails applications.
Partner with Product and Design to plan, scope, and deliver features that align with business goals.
Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development planning for engineers.
Ensure best practices in code quality, testing, security, and scalability.
Identify and resolve technical and organizational challenges that impact team delivery.
Support hiring, onboarding, and team growth initiatives.

Requirements:

10+ years of professional software development experience, with significant hands-on experience in Ruby on Rails.
3+ years of experience managing or leading software engineering teams.
Strong understanding of web application architecture, APIs, databases, and cloud-based systems.
Experience delivering and maintaining production-grade Rails applications at scale.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Proven ability to coach, mentor, and develop engineers.
Experience working with distributed or remote teams is a strong plus.
