The Engineering manager will lead our Core Squad, responsible of our Platform, APIs, and product features essential for Slite such as Search, Docs structure, Integrations, Team preferences and Payment.

 

The Core Squad is where all begins. By essence, this squad is responsible for core aspects at Slite. This squad introduced GraphQL at Slite, switched to TypeScript, developed critical features such as the doc navigation and impacted the whole user journey.

 

The Engineering manager will have 3 to 4 engineers to manage, coach and mentor. They will take care of supporting their career progression and encourage growth and open-feedback within the team. They will ensure our product cycles are well-balanced between quality assurance and features delivery.

 

Eventually as one of the early members of Slite, you'll be able to shape the future of it. We share as much ownership on the way we work and on the product itself as we can as we're convinced our success is 99% due to our team.

 

Pierre, CTO, is currently managing the three engineers in this squad. The Engineering team is composed by twelve engineers, from diverse backgrounds and expertise. We formed four squads as of 2020:

Squad Core: Responsible for our API, DevOps, Tooling, Search, Docs navigation, Payment

Squad Content: Handling on real-time-editor on the web, desktop, mobile

Squad Collaborate: Focus on Sharing, Comments, Notifications, Public pages

Squad Growth: Bring a great onboarding, invite and educational experience

 

Each Squad at Slite is responsible to plan together, find product solutions and ship improvements in an independent manner. So technical choices, team structure, weekly meetings, product decisions are organised inside them. We work following the shape-up model, organizing our development cycles in 6 weeks and having 2 weeks of cool-down time in between.

 

The Core squad needs a full-time Engineering manager to ensure its independence of choice and focus on its subjects.
