Sr Manager- Technology

Our Team: The Digital Partnerships team at Vistaprint establishes, integrates, merchandises, promotes, and manages the business partnerships with 3rd party software and services providers whose platforms provide complementary high-value online business solutions for Vistaprint's customers. A critical selection criterion for establishing a strategic partnership with a Digital software provider is whether Vistaprint can create unique and differentiated added-value services to 'layer' on top of the partner's standard DIY/self-serve offering. What You Will Do:

• Build processes that drive technical accountability within the team, identifying process bottlenecks, and clearing any potential roadblocks for the engineers.
• Introduce improvements to the team’s SDLC processes, ensuring the team writes quality code that follows the -ilities (reliability, scalability, testability, monitor-ability, etc.)
• Regularly tracking, sharing, and improving metrics to improve the team’s efficiency and quality of work in order to produce performant teams.
• Contributes to the team’s success by providing feedback on pull requests and reviewing the overall architecture of features that are being delivered.
• Independently plan and carry out changes to team staffing and technical assignments in service of company goals: identifying gaps, defining roles, and managing team size.
• Partner with Architects to ensure the team builds flexible systems and processes, working towards simple, straightforward solutions and reducing complexity when possible.
• Partner effectively with Product Managers to manage scope and define deliverables for the roadmap based on estimates that get refined over time, responsible for all resource assignments and communicating timeline, scope, and technical concerns to partners.
• Identify areas of technical debt, do the cost/benefit analysis for resolving this debt, and work with Product to get the work added to the roadmap.
