Engineering Manager (Enterprise Platform)

Mentimeter’s vision is to transform presentations and meetings into fun and interactive experiences by making it easy to listen and to be heard. We believe in giving everyone a voice, in every meeting and presentation. We are building a modern, friendly, and diverse product-first tech company.

We’re currently looking for an Engineering Manager for our newly created Enterprise Platform -team in the Commercial Area. The team builds Enterprise-grade capabilities/tools/services to constantly evolve our product in the areas of compliance, security and scalability, which is of particular relevance to our large customers. We want you to join us to help us develop our Product organization and enable our engineers and teams in making our product, and particularly its paid tiers, even more appealing to our users and customers. This role will be based in our Stockholm office.

The role

As the Engineering Manager in the Enterprise Platform team, you will be responsible for the well-being and personal development of its members. You will also act as the Product Owner for the team and you are accountable to ensure that the team has a prioritized backlog.

You will lead the team by setting clear goals and help the team reach the goals through coaching and planning, and create a great working environment that enables the team to deliver at a high pace through rapid learning and great collaboration. You will enable team empowerment, delivery, productive and sustainable ways of working. You will ensure that the team and its stakeholders can depend on high-quality technical work to make sure that we are providing long-term business value.

As of 2023 we have 3 areas in the Product Department: Core, Commercial, and Tech Foundation. Together with your peers, you will aim to build a world-class engineering organization where people thrive and grow, grounded in an agile engineering culture with a focus on craft and people. As part of the engineering management team in the product department, you will also be involved in recruitment and staffing, craft tech reputation and employer branding.

We are spokespeople for modern, agile, collaborative, and pragmatic software development methods. We always strive to improve our development culture and it would be great if you want to contribute to this journey.

Skills Needed: 

How we would like you to be
We would love to hear what you think! This role is versatile and while we share what we expect, you may have skills you would like to highlight we consider.

Do you naturally love working with people, making them grow and developing teams? You will have to be a master collaborator working with different functions, teams and internal stakeholders (engineering, product and sales). Combining product ownership and engineering management will be an exciting challenge and we believe that great people skills will be crucial for this role.

As you are managing software engineers, you have to have a big interest in software development and will be comfortable facilitating technical discussions like architecture to enable our engineers to make sound decisions. Prior experience as a software engineer is a plus but not required. A good delivery mindset, being a leader in agile frameworks and an interest in understanding user needs will definitely help you excel in this role.

Experience of working with enterprise customers and having domain knowledge around security and compliance will be greatly beneficial for the role.

All of this takes place in a modern, fast-moving product-led growth company. Therefore you should thrive in a dynamic environment where change is the only constant.

What’s not required ****

The need to communicate in Swedish - we are an English-first company. Our daily work is carried out in English and the Mentimeter team currently spans over 50 different nationalities! Neither do we require a cover letter, but we very much appreciate them and take the time to read each one when sent.

We at Mentimeter believe in giving everyone a voice - regardless of who you are. So we build a platform that does just that. Our platform is not only our product but also our organization. A platform where people feel safe, where differences are embraced, a place where you can have fun.
