About this role

Udemy is searching for an Engineering Manager that embodies our core values: authenticity, a drive for continuous learning, being results-oriented, lean into experimentation, and embodying the spirit of being individually humble, yet collectively proud.

At Udemy, we live by the credo of 'we are always learning'. This is reflected in our commitment to continuous improvement and passion for knowledge-sharing. You are expected to embrace this spirit of growth, fostering a climate of constructive debates and encouraging your team to plug into our platforms for organizational learning. Being open to robust discussions and leveraging our solutions to facilitate team learning will be pivotal to your success in this role.

• Working with your engineering team along with your cross-functional partners in product, design, data science, product marketing, and others to build a roadmap, deliver features, manage execution, and identify areas for development.
• Using skills like driving results, analytical problem solving, systems thinking, decision making, and active listening to effectively lead engineering teams.
• Demonstrated use of Kotlin/Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, MySQL, DynamoDB, Redis/Elasticache, GraphQL, Datadog, Kubernetes Terraform or closely related technologies, bringing a depth of knowledge and experience to deliver high quality results.
• Growing your team, their careers, and tracking their performance through 1-on-1s and annual reviews.
• Working with senior management to strategize resource allocation.
• Prioritize, delegate, and juggle multiple tasks concurrently.
• Incorporate feedback from your team and managers to continuously improve your team’s execution and ability to achieve your team’s goals.
• You will extend your networking skills within and beyond the organization - maintaining key relationships and providing mentoring to your team.

What you’ll have

• Demonstrated abilities in driving results, analytical problem solving, systems thinking, decision making, and active listening
• Technical expertise in Kotlin/Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, MySQL, DynamoDB, Redis/Elasticache, GraphQL, Datadog, Kubernetes Terraform or closely related technologies.
