We're a fast-growing tech startup and we're on a mission to build infrastructure that powers the future of insurance.

We're looking for a Development Manager to join our Engineering Team.

In the Engineering team, you're responsible for people and process, with a special focus on growth and learning. You'll need to maintain a robust interface between the Engineering Team and the broader Root team and business.

This full-time role is based at our De Waterkant office in Cape Town, but is remote friendly working on a hybrid model.

**We're looking for someone with**:
Core requirements to perform responsibilities:

- 5 - 10 years of Senior Technical leadership experience.
- 5 - 10 years of management experience.
- At minimum of 5 years of hands-on development experience.
- Computer Science or Engineering degree.
- A strong ability to communicate and empathise with an Engineering mindset.
- Solid experience using Agile methodologies, focusing on efficiency over process.
- A solid understanding of Engineering Team structures.
- Able to build and implement a scalable team structure that is adaptable and can move dynamically.
- Solid Software Engineering background.
- Experience in, and passionate about, supporting and guiding Engineers through their career growth path.
- A good understanding of Root's tech stack.
- Able to have an opinion in a technical discussion.
- Strong ability to collaborate with other teams, and encourage the Engineering team to stay engaged with the broader Root team.

**Bonus points/nice to have**:

- An interest in the insurance industry.
- Experience working in a Tech start-up.

**Who we are**:
Our mission is to enable innovation in insurance by building the infrastructure required to reach the future of insurance. We are striving to be the global API standard for insurance.

We show up for our mission by:

- Taking ownership to the extreme.
- Moving fast and shipping things.
- Starting with Why.
- Assuming good intent.
- Keeping things transparent - we are open with others and ourselves.
- Keeping it simple.
- Learning fast and deep.
- Not reinventing the wheel.

We pride ourselves on:

- Having low ego - we are humble, self aware & respectful.
- Being empathetic and showing compassion.
- Staying adaptable - we are innately curious and constantly learning and changing.
- Being remarkable - we are resourceful and effective.

**How we enable success**:
Our team is made up of smart, passionate, and kind individuals working together to build a world-class business. We take the time to develop personal relationships with each other. Over and above daily team lunches, we do frequent team outings and ad-hoc adventures (when global pandemics permit).

We create and enable an environment for people to do their best work. To support this, we focus on a culture of autonomy, transparency and trust. As a startup, we care a lot about innovation, and believe in an iterative way of working to drive innovation forward. We encourage each other and foster a working culture of sharing early versions of our work and implementing feedback fast.

**Why join us?**:
We have ambitious goals. Our mission is to power innovators in insurance, globally, and we're well on our way there. You'll join at a very exciting part of the journey, and your contribution over the next few years will directly and visibly impact Root's global success. Our team is incredibly friendly and collaborative. If you care about solving challenging problems with people you enjoy being around, this is the place for you.
