You’ll be leading the growth engineering team for Confluence Cloud, reporting to the head of engineering for Confluence Cloud. You'll be responsible for building engineering teams to own and deliver key new features for our customers and to expand the depth of existing features while maintaining and improving service level objectives (SLOs). You will be leading and growing a large team of engineers, strengthening a team culture of quality, innovation, and efficiency, with a relentless focus on customer needs. You will partner with your product and design peers to take full ownership of business outcomes.

We believe you’ll be fully engaged and challenged, merging your real-world business instincts and understanding with technical skills to innovate and impact the company. You are comfortable working across multiple disciplines within a dynamic, fast-growing company to deliver awesome outcomes. You'll bring order and focus while leaving room for flexibility and innovation.

The ideal candidate has led highly effective development teams of managers, engineers, and architects in the cloud software space. You'll benefit from extensive technical prowess in the cloud-native space, with experience operating at scale across a diverse set of technologies. The role will also require exceptional written and verbal communication in the pursuit of driving the mission forward.

On the first day, what we’ll expect you to have:

• Extensive engineering management experience, following Agile development processes with history shipping user-facing products, preferably in a cloud platform.
• Experience as an engineering leader driving outcomes through influence on other teams, some of which are not co-located or could be remote.
• Experience managing a team of more than 50 engineers with multiple managers as direct reports, and a track record of successfully scaling organizations.
• Experience building and nurturing cultures of SLA-driven operational excellence, shipping high quality products to enterprise customers.
• Ability to define and effectively communicate technical vision, and inspire the organization around a shared vision for success.
• Ability to communicate directly and clearly, with a strong emphasis on active listening.
• Previous exposure to making business-level tradeoffs, balancing the needs of our customers with those of our business and clearly communicating the rationale behind your decisions.
• Good instincts matched with deep analytical thinking. You're comfortable defining and tracking key business and usage success metrics, but also recognize that metrics never tell the whole story.
• Real passion to understand customer needs and a strong motivation to solve their problems rather than focussing on technology as an end in itself.
• Bachelor or higher degree, or its equivalent, in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems Management or a closely related field of study.
• 10+ years of product and/or platform software development experience working in software engineering organizations.
• 5+ years of experience as a software engineering manager; 5+ years of experience managing multiple managers.
