Responsibilities
People. Manages the engineering team: one-to-ones, growth plans, performance, hiring and onboarding. Distributes work to match capability and develops it.
Delivery. Owns what the team commits to each cycle and whether it lands. The Product Manager sets priority; the Engineering Manager decides what fits and holds the line on scope.
Engineering standards. Enforces code review, automated testing and a working definition of done. Sets the bar and keeps it.
Release control. Owns the path to production: branch protection, a passing test gate, environment parity, a documented rollback, and a quality sign-off that can stop a release.
Reliability. Monitoring, alerting, on-call, incident response and blameless postmortems. Accountable for uptime, not just for features.
Technical direction. Partners with senior engineers on architecture and technical debt. Stays hands-on enough to review code and judge trade-offs.
Documentation and knowledge. Keeps documentation living and owned, with structured onboarding so knowledge does not sit in one person's head.
Reporting. Gives leadership a clear read on delivery health, risk and capacity.
