• Lead and manage your team of engineers, providing guidance and support to ensure high-quality delivery. Be involved in technical decisions, architecture reviews, and engineering practices.
• Collaborate with the Product Manager to prioritize work and maintain a roadmap that aligns with business priorities, using data analysis (e.g. DORA metrics) to inform prioritization and resource allocation.
• Ensure the team operates with speed, resilience, and reliability, meeting GOG's engineering standards using people, processes and automation.
• Provide timely reporting of delivery progress against commitments, dependencies, issues, risks, and proactive mitigations.
• Encourage lean approaches such as MVP and A/B testing.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, supporting development through 1-1s, feedback, and career growth planning.
