About Gendo
Gendo is a revolutionary, browser-based AI platform designed for architects and designers, enabling them to generate accurate, high-quality visual representations of their designs in seconds rather than days. After a successful beta phase with renowned architectural firms such as Zaha Hadid Architects, Benoy, KPF, and David Chipperfield Architects, we have secured substantial seed-stage funding.
Role Overview
We are looking for a talented Engineering Manager to take on the day-to-day responsibilities of running our product engineering team, both in a technical leadership capacity and as a delivery manager (running sprints, delegating work streams, elaborating technical work and translating product requirements into technical designs). We imagine that this role will start with a blend of 25% hands-on development, and the rest of the time spent orchestrating the work of the engineering team and line managing a small group of engineers.
Key Responsibilities
-
Managing the day-to-day delivery of our engineering team, working closely with our CTO, Lead Developer and Product Manager.
-
Coaching the team to learn and apply engineering best practices: anything from database schemas and CI/CD to API design and security principles.
-
Line managing 3 or 4 software engineers.
-
Continuing to form and grow our engineering team: hire and onboard new engineers, and support team members to follow their own professional development goals.
-
Contributing to the codebase as required, particularly when certain features align well with your previous experience.
-
Helping define the future of our engineering culture as the team continues to grow, and making sure that our company values are continually instilled and upheld.
-
Ensuring efficient collaboration with Product and Commercial colleagues, and identifying and managing technical and organisational dependencies.
Requirements
-
Strong technical architecture design skills.
-
5+ years of hands-on software development experience in designing and implementing production-grade applications.
-
People management skills – providing one-on-ones, resolving conflicts, creating career development plans, mentoring and growing engineers, providing and receiving feedback.
-
Extensive knowledge of engineering practices and agile methodologies.
It would be a bonus for you to have:
-
Experience working with ML models and/or an understanding of MLOps and how to maintain machine learning models in production.
-
Experience working on data warehouses and pipelines.
-
Hands-on experience with DevOps tools and practices.
-
Full-stack development experience.
-
(Extra bonus!) Experience or familiarity with CAD or 3D modelling software (e.g. Blender, 3DS Max)
Why join Gendo?
-
Be a key player in driving the growth of a groundbreaking AI platform that is reshaping the architecture and design industry.
-
Collaborate with leading architects and designers from top firms like Zaha Hadid Architects and David Chipperfield Architects.
-
Hybrid work environment with the flexibility to be based in either our Bristol or London office, allowing you to balance work and life effectively.
-
Work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your ideas and initiatives are valued.
-
Competitive compensation package, including performance-based incentives and equity options.
