About the role

  • Start leading in our Trust and Safety problem space. As part of this, you’ll do all the usual day-to-day line management activities: high quality 1:1s, give regular feedback, work on career development, run performance reviews, create promotion cases. You’ll learn about and be able to support people in a range of different situations and with different needs, including remote working, neurodiversity, and from different backgrounds to you. You’ll watch out for potential for bias in various forms, and proactively work to minimise potential for burnout amongst your team.
  • Be accountable for the overall technical delivery in your team(s), including considering factors (and tradeoffs between) speed, tech debt, quality, non-functional requirements, and knowing how your domain contributes meaningfully to company goals.
  • Actively form strong relationships and partnerships with your cross-functional leads in product, design, DS/ML, security, operations, and beyond, working together on quarterly roadmaps, headcount needs, prioritisation, processes, and overall strategy.
  • Think about the future and how we can use technology as an advantage, whether through Machine Learning, technology-relation horizon scanning, commitment to research, use of third parties (build vs buy), minimising bottlenecks, fire prevention (rather than fighting), as well as looking at how you can set up your team through people-related/developer experience system and process improvements.
  • Gain an understanding of our business, our customers, and the domains we work in, allowing you to use your judgement to contribute to technology-related decisions.
  • Collaborate with other leaders on continuously improving our engineering culture
  • Work on wider initiatives in the Engineering Manager community, whether that’s locally in Trust and Safety, or more broadly.
  • Take part in hiring and other practical activities to help strengthen our overall BumbleTech team

Requirements

  • Ability to proactively and positively influence delivery, business acumen, innovation, technical strategy, system health, and team health within the T&S group
  • Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively, and support others to be great at this too
  • You’ve managed a diverse group of engineers (preferably 8-10 people), have successfully handled a wide range of different management experiences, and have learned how to guide people to becoming the best professional they aspire to be
  • You have a proven track record of shipping and meeting goals
  • You have experience in how to bring a multidisciplinary team together, and work as effectively as possible with partners in Product and Design
  • You know how to analyse varying data to inform trade-offs and risks, nurturing an experimentation culture
  • You’ve supported teams to build customer empathy and be problem solvers, not just coders
  • You’ve built and managed complex systems, and have a wealth of knowledge about common pitfalls: technical, functional and operational
  • You’ve led through some difficult moments (technology and people), to healthy resolutions
  • You know how to frame technical challenges within a business context, and have success stories of getting technical initiatives prioritised alongside features
  • Your ambitions go beyond your team, and you have influenced change that has reached wider across an organisation
  • You’re able to work with others who may be remote at least part of the time
  • Your values align strongly with the Bumble Inc. values: Joy, Excellence, Curiosity, Respect, and Courage.

Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k) match, Unlimited Paid Time Off Policy.
  • Maven Fertility: $10,000 lifetime benefit for fertility, adoption, abortion care, and more.
