One stop solution to your remote job hunt!

At TrustedHousesitters, we are a passionate team on a mission to make the world a better place for pets and their owners. We're seeking an Engineering Manager to join our growing team of passionate engineers and manage two of our cross-functional squads.

Requirements

Leadership

As a passionate believer in servant leadership, you will be responsible for unblocking, supporting and communicating the progress of your squad's goals to the wider organisation. You will encourage autonomy but will know when to seek counsel on key decisions from other members of the Engineering Org leadership.

People

Line managing engineers and QAs, you will create an inclusive environment in your squads, seek out feedback and adapt ways of working to enable your people to do their best work.

You will set meaningful and squad-relevant development goals and milestones for your reports and can lead conversations around what your engineers need to demonstrate to progress.

Working in collaboration with Engineering Guild Leads and the People Experience team, you will ensure squads are correctly staffed to accomplish their goals and be responsible for executing the hiring process.

Delivery

You will champion agile principles, coaching the squad on their approach to delivery, using DORA (or other) metrics to constantly improve.

Writing code

We believe that our Engineering Managers should be able to be hands-on; you must be comfortable delivering at a senior level in at least one area of our technology stack. As an Engineering Manager, you will make decisions about technical feasibility, provide high-level estimates and understand the cross-platform implications of new product features. You will know when you're out of your depth (technically) and be comfortable seeking support from others.

About TrustedHousesitters

TrustedHousesitters is a global marketplace disrupting pet care and travel industries. We connect a community of home and pet owners with sitters to solve a common two-sided problem - pet care and cost-effective travel. Customers join for one annual fee. After that, sits take place as a trust-based, money-free exchange that sees owners enjoy worry-free travel while our sitters enjoy the company of pets and unlock a world of unique accommodations.

We enjoy exceptional customer retention rates driven by the fact that our owners and sitters realise the amazing value and incredible experiences we can facilitate.

We're fully in scale-up mode and have grown to be the only global platform of its kind. In the last few years, we've consistently achieved high year-on-year growth and have remained resilient throughout the COVID-19 crisis. The USA has become our biggest market, followed by the UK and Australia.

We made the transition to a remote-first business in March 2020 and haven't looked back. We now have a distributed team across the UK and Brazil. We host quarterly, all expenses paid, company events in Brighton.

We are transforming the pet care and travel landscape. We believe we offer the best solution and our team is united by our commitment to delivering an enriching experience for our customers and having a positive impact on the lives of their pets.
