• Managing a team of varied roles, ranging from Software Developers, to Test Engineers, Business Analysts and a UX Designer in large part by setting up goals, following up on and reviewing performance and providing feedback. Some of the work I do to develop the team includes participating in staff recruitment, actively contributing to improving processes in a continuous manner, developing competence and technology preparedness in the team, coaching the team to improve, following up on the employee engagement, onboarding and offboarding team members.
• As a tie-in with my existing Senior Software Engineer role, I take lead on technically coaching my developer team members, by having technical discussions, doing pair programming, reviewing code and setting up clear goals to help them improve. The leadership skills I have developed under the Team Manager role help me act as a better coach to developers, and the other way around, having a technical background helps me have better discussions and goal settings as a Manager with my team, as well as reviewing performance.
• I actively take part in sharing knowledge inside the team by managing an in-team code meeting designed to share knowledge, and by having technical presentations of my own, shared both in the code meeting or in larger-scoped initiatives in the company and department.
