• Set technical priorities, communicate business context to the team, build excitement about how innovative technology can enhance our core business
• Play an active role in our recruiting process, helping us to grow our engineering team in any way you can
• Perform code reviews and provide technical and design feedback to the team
• Partner with your product counterpart and engineering peers in planning cycles, and help us keep our priorities in order
• Communicate technical and product decisions to the right people, resolve blocking issues, and collaborate with other leaders across the organization

What you have

• Excellent strategic mind able to set technical direction across native mobile engineering at SeatGeek
• 6+ years as an engineer in a role that was mostly about writing mobile code (either Android or iOS)
• 2+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager of high caliber, motivated native mobile teams
• Irreproachable technical skills, and your team should look up to you as a mentor
• Knowledge of industry technology trends so you can help your team make good tooling and framework decisions by setting them up for success across both platforms
• An understanding of how to lead by setting context and facilitating collaboration between product, design, engineering and business leaders
• Experience owning an entire high-quality consumer-facing application (either iOS or Android), including release, vendor, and platform management
