Job description
Are you an agile minded leader with people management experience, as well as scrum master or agile coach experience And would you like to bring your combined agile and leadership competencies into play Then you should join SimCorp as Engineering Manager!
Who we are
For over 50 years, we have worked closely with large and global investment and asset managers to become the world's leading provider of integrated investment management solutions. We are 2,800+ colleagues with a broad range of nationalities, educations, professional experiences, ages, and backgrounds in general.
SimCorp is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a culture where diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated in our everyday work. We believe in the continual growth and development of our employees, so that we can provide best-in-class solutions to our clients.
While striving to deliver client value, we believe it is vital to consider our people and our planet in every business decision we make. Acting responsibly is not optional. It is essential.
Why this role is important to us
Agile ways of working are key for SimCorp's success. In the Fund Accounting & Reporting product area (department), we have hired a scrum team of 6 experienced Senior Software Engineers in Noida. The team members are almost done with their onboarding program, so they now need an Engineering Manager who can be a servant leader for the team and support them on their journey to become a high performing team that live the agile values in the SimCorp culture. The team in Noida will work close with two sister teams in Copenhagen.
The Fund Accounting & Reporting product area is responsible for the core Portfolio Calculation Engine in SimCorp Dimension, as well as fund accounting, NAV- and regulatory reporting, making the role business critical not only for the product area, but for SimCorp as a whole, as well as for all our clients.
As Engineering Manager your responsibility will be to establish agile ways of working, ensuring that scrum ceremonies are conducted in a value adding way, and that an agile mindset is adopted among the team members. Furthermore, your job will be to continuously coach and mentor the team, and to build trustful relationships with the individual team members. A thorough understanding of, and experience with, scrum and agile is therefore required. The Engineering Manager should also focus on ensuring efficient coordination and collaboration with other teams – both inside and outside the product area – and hence, strong stakeholder management and people skills are also needed to succeed.

- Leading 1-2 team(s) of Software Engineers with responsibility for hiring, growing, and upskilling your team through 1:1s, feedback, mentoring, coaching, and goal setting

- Collaborating closely with your peers in Product Management to understand and refine the customer outcomes that you and your team(s) are responsible for delivering
- Collaborating with other engineering leaders to deliver cross area initiatives, and to ensure knowledge sharing and consistency where needed
- Understanding and defining relevant engineering KPI's/OKRs to gain insight into your team(s)' performance and to help drive improvement, for example in product quality, security, delivery, system performance etc.
- Ensuring engineering excellence within your area of responsibility with support from our Tech Leads
- Facilitating planning that supports the delivery of the outcomes by your teams
- Making sure that your teams follow our security best practices, and that we continually raise the bar when it comes to security
What we value
- You are an engineer at heart, with a passion for improving teams, people, processes, and technology
- You have 4-5 years of people management experience, and you have a natural skill of creating followership, as well as experience working as scrum master, agile coach, or similar agile position

- You understand who your customers are and what success looks like for them
- You know what is 'good enough' and can guide your teams towards this, and you are responsible for continuously improving it as you strive for technical excellence
- Goal and process orientation rather than task orientation, OKR experience is a plus
- You have excellent English skills in both writing and speaking
- Financial / Fintech background is a plus
