We welcome candidates with different levels of seniority and experience.

What?

As an Engineering Manager, you will:

• BE INCLUSIVE: Lead and grow a team of passionate engineers in our Tallinn office. Provide support and guidance that enables the team to self-organize and to achieve sustained high velocity and predictability.
• BE AN OWNER & WRITE IT DOWN: Collaborate on roadmaps with Product Managers, Architects and Tech Leads to ensure the team has clear direction and priorities. Break down roadblocks as well as manage communications with stakeholders and dependent teams. Create a culture of continuous improvement through retrospection.
• WEAR THE CUSTOMER’S SHOES & DON’T SETTLE: Institute development best practices to ensure the team produces high quality, well architected and supportable code. Employ Agile methodologies to continuously deliver value to customers. Customer Trust is your number one priority.

• BE BOLD & DRAW THE OWL: As a member of the Engineering Management team, foster leadership principles and behaviors throughout the organization to groom the next generation of leaders. Act as an ambassador for Twilio, recruiting and motivating top talent. 

Why?

Twilio has democratized communications channels like voice, text, chat, and video by virtualizing the world’s telecommunications infrastructure through APIs that are simple enough for any developer to use, yet robust enough to power the world’s most demanding applications. 

With the launch of Flex, Twilio introduces a new type of platform for applications which has the potential to disrupt traditional monolithic application vendors in the same way API platforms disrupted traditional infrastructure services for communications, compute and payments.

Twilio is truly unique; we are a company committed to your growth, your learning, your development and your entire employee experience.  We only win when our employees succeed and we're dedicated to helping you develop your strengths. We invest in weeks dedicated to tackling hard problems and creating your own ideas.

Where?

This position will be located in our beautiful and well-designed office at Veerenni 38 in Tallinn, though considering the world’s current circumstances will start as remote.

Around the world, Twilio offers great benefits and perks to support the physical, financial, and emotional well being of you and your loved ones. No matter where you are based, you will experience a company that believes in small teams for maximum impact; seeks well-rounded talent to ensure a full perspective on our customers’ experience, understands that this is a marathon, not a sprint; that continuously and purposefully builds an inclusive culture that empowers everyone to do their best work and be the best version of themselves.
