Who are you?

You are a builder, passionate about learning new technologies and applying them to build creative solutions that solve customer problems. You find yourself moving faster than those around you. You are opinionated, in regard to both software design and product requirements. You require autonomy, and feel strong ownership for your work. You are a natural mentor, and recognize that collaboration and knowledge sharing are keys to success. You thrive in an environment that welcomes debate and encourages a "logic wins the day" mentality, where the best ideas are the right ideas. You are a player coach, you want to help your team succeed, and celebrate their wins.  As a manager, you promote and encourage those around you.  You give others the credit, and bear the responsibility when things don’t go as planned, coaching to improve for next time.

As an Engineering Manager at Aiwyn, you will lead and manage a team of software engineers, taking part in exciting opportunities that include Greenfield-projects and advancing our existing platform to new heights. In this role, you will not only be responsible for your individual contributions but also for guiding and empowering your team members to deliver high-quality solutions.
