InComm | Engineering Manager / Dev Manager| $140K-ish | Full time | US Remote

Us : Large, stable, growing company that builds the software that makes gift cards work. About 2/3 of us are located in Portland OR, but we are now fully remote and you can be anywhere in the US.

Me: I'm the hiring manager, I currently manage four teams (3-4 dev + 1 tester each) which is too much, that's where you come in.

You : Hopefully, you are either a dev manager looking for a new job, or an experienced developer who's excited about getting in to management. Your job is to assist, clear roadblocks, coordinate and empower, not to tell people what to do or write code. You should have some familiarity with, and opinions on: agile, microservices, CI/CD, and pairing/mobbing.

Why aren't we promoting from within (I always ask this question when I'm applying for mgmt jobs) : I'd like to, but my devs would all prefer to keep coding.

Tech stack : .net core, teamcity / AZDO, k8s, React (though we do very little UI work, mostly back end). Some of our services are full CD, the rest deploy once a week.

How we work: I'm a big believer in self-managing agile teams. Our motto is "go slow to go fast" - That means don't cut corners, bugs before features, pay down tech debt regularly, and the story's not done until the automation is complete.
