Stack Overflow

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead, motivate and grow a team of skilled engineers, focused on the delivery of full-stack features. You and your team will work closely with UX on front-end development and back-end development using and creating large sets of performance data and analytics. You will have experience successfully leading teams and applying the best practices in agile software development. In addition to demonstrating your leadership capabilities, we look forward to learning how you keep in touch with the technologies with which you and your team work. You should be as comfortable promoting positive cultural change as you are rolling up your sleeves and having code-level discussions with your team.

We are still working from home with hopes to return to our Gastown office. While we prefer to have this position based in Vancouver, we are open to candidates located and authorized to work in Canada or the US.
