Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Adia, the leading on-demand staffing platform, is looking for an experienced Engineering Team Manager who can lead our two-pizza Engineering team to build upon the success of the Adia platform. We’re talking: creating and evaluating technical solutions to interesting problems, destroying impediments through ingenuity, and heading up a world-class engineering team in pursuit of product excellence. This Engineering Team Manager should understand user and client needs and have deep technical knowledge to help prioritize and manage the product backlog in an Agile environment. 

You will manage the in-house Engineering team, and you’re here to save the day, dev style.

You will:

• Build relationships with and manage the Adia Engineering team through backlog grooming, sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily management of the Agile process
• Set engineering policies and standards that help the team succeed, and maintain processes that support Adia’s business priorities and startup mentality
• Help plan and prioritize the product roadmap alongside the Product Team Lead, and contribute your expertise when discussing technical requirements and platform capabilities
• Provide guidance and mentorship to the Engineering team when solutioning features, navigating impediments or blockers, performing code reviews, and being a source of continuing education for your team
• Challenge the Engineering team when sprint goals run over schedule or deliverables are not met
• Create solutions to simplify complex and resource-intensive, asynchronous processes like order creation and job matching
• Proactively manage changes in feature scope, identify potential risks, and devise contingency plans
• Identify technical debt and bring solutions for a more optimized platform
• Perform ad-hoc data analysis to provide rapid business insight to lead Adia stakeholders
• Help determine the feasibility and quality of third-party integrations, vendors, and tools

What you bring to the table:

• Educational background in computer science, information systems, or related field
• 3+ years of proven experience leading development teams and projects in a similar role
• Proven experience with .NET (Framework + Core) APIs and services, Single-Page Web Applications like Angular, and Mobile Development
• Experience with Azure cloud resources, Microservices, Event-Driven and Distributed Architectures, and Service-Oriented Architectures 
• A familiarity with other technologies including native Android, iOS, Xamarin, and the new .NET MAUI framework a plus for future tech stack changes
• Strong familiarity with Azure Devops, automated build & release pipelines, branching strategies, pull requests, and git repositories
• Kubernetes or other containerization experience a plus
• An eagerness to proactively communicate with your Engineering team, the Product team, and other colleagues alike
• Supreme attention to detail -- you’re always ten steps ahead
• Strong analytical mind and a desire to do impactful work every day
• Previous experience working in a startup or similarly fast-paced environment 
• A sense of curiosity -- a willingness to constantly confront unknowns and acknowledge when you don’t know or aren’t sure
• A perpetually optimistic outlook -- when someone says it can’t be done, you ask why

Our Culture:

Adia is the leading on-demand staffing platform. We give businesses a better way to find the people they need. Unlike other gig platforms, we hire our workers to Adia as W-2. That means they get to keep their flexible schedule, and still get taxes withheld, benefits, and weekly pay. Launched in Switzerland back in October 2016, Adia launched in the US in early 2018. Today we help businesses and workers using our platform throughout the US.

Adia is a fast-growing, hardworking, curious (like, Alice in Wonderland curious) organization that strives for improvement every day. We are open, honest, and motivated, using our big brains to build a great product and not overgrown egos. We’re an early player in the HR tech space, which brings excitement and purpose to our work. If you’re looking for a place that will help you uncover your best working self and give you hands-on experience in way more than your job title alludes to, we may be the right team for you.

We have an incredible future ahead of us, and we’d love for you to be a part of our journey toward it.

Still here? Apply now.

Note: While this position can be fully remote, our office is located in Austin, Texas and is open to anyone who is comfortable working there Monday-Friday.
