Engineering Manager - Employee Data team

Hello! 👋🏽

At Factorial we're looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to help us take our People Employee Data team to the next level and who likes to make a real impact by working close to the business. **

Ready to be part of the challenge? 🚀**

You'll be part of a team that's at the heart of our company's operations. Our main mission is to create an incredibly reliable system for managing employee data. We understand just how crucial processes like payroll and time calculation are, and that's why we're laser-focused on ensuring our data is rock-solid. By building a solid foundation for managing employee information, we're aiming to make sure that everything runs smoothly across the board. This isn't just about accuracy and efficiency; it's about making sure our employees can rely on us to get things right every single time. **

The Engineering team at large**

At Factorial, we have a team of +150 very talented fullstack developers. We look for smart people who are curious, proactive and have good soft/communication skills.

We are not looking for a long list of skills and technologies. Our stack is Ruby on Rails for the backend and React/React-native for the clients , but it’s not mandatory to be proficient in those to be considered (most of the team came with other areas of expertise which is very enriching). We believe that someone who has good aptitudes and is hungry for learning is what works best. **

We’ll ask you to send us a piece of code you’ve written recently and you’re happy with, to use as a basis for the conversation.

• And that’s it! Feel free to request any other conversation you want, with team members or to address specific concerns at any time in the process.

The whole process is remote, using videoconferencing tools!
