Software Engineering Manager

Meet Fetch Engineering:

At Fetch, we are passionate about solving challenging problems and embracing ambiguity. Our engineering philosophy promotes adaptability and innovation over rigid adherence to rules. Our engineers thrive in complex environments, making well-informed decisions even in uncertain situations. We seek out the necessary information and focus on action and impact, while consistently upholding high technical standards. In this role, you will be a technical leader, shaping best practices to build world-class, user-facing technology. You will mentor fellow engineers, fostering technical growth and collaboration within the team. As a hands-on leader, you will actively contribute to the codebase and deliver features alongside your team.

The Role:

As a Software Engineering Manager, you’ll play a critical role in both driving technical excellence and fostering the growth of a high-performing team. You will manage a group of engineers, while also having your hands in the code, building and reviewing critical parts of our applications. When you’re not making technical contributions, you will focus on team building, coaching, performance management, career development, and organizational improvements. This role gives you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through mentorship, cross-functional partnership, and building a strong technical foundation. You’ll partner cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering leaders to drive outcomes, not just output. You’ll be in a position of trust, teaching and mentoring ICs, with a focus on improving both technical craftsmanship and team health.
