WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
NIKE is a technology company. From our flagship website and five-star mobile apps to developing products, managing big data and providing leading edge engineering and systems support, our teams at NIKE Global Technology exist to revolutionize the future at the confluence of tech and sport. We invest and develop advances in technology and employ the most creative people in the world, and then give them the support to constantly innovate, iterate and serve consumers more directly and personally. Our teams are innovative, diverse, multidisciplinary and collaborative, taking technology into the future and bringing the world with it.

We're looking for an engineering manager who loves to learn, grow, and effectively bring new ideas to the team.

• The candidate should understand scalable, highly available, and eventually consistent distributed systems and have excellent written and oral communication skills to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Our leaders and teams should have a strong sense of pragmatism in how they approach delivering value to consumers and understand that a strong focus on continuous improvement is vital to growth.
• You are comfortable and confident in providing guidance and mentorship to your team and colleagues across the organization. You lead by example and set clear expectations
• Your broad spectrum of knowledge about data analysis, databases and related data storage paradigms, programming languages, and frameworks informs your decisions.
• You value collaboration and interaction with your teammates and colleagues, defaulting to sharing early and looking for help when needed over delivering perfect results.
• Clear and honest communication builds trust in both our teams and our peers across the organization.

WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON While Nike Global Technology is a big place, our team's primary concern is building a platform to allow our consumers to express how Nike should collect and/or use their data. Our production code is usually written in Java or Node.js and deployed on Amazon's AWS infrastructure. Our architecture is focused on reliability, favoring asynchronous approaches to ensure resiliency and availability. We operate the systems we develop and have a rotating on-call schedule for the rare times we receive off-hours contact but during office hours, the team as a whole, handles incidents. We practice continuous delivery and continuous integration - every merged pull request goes directly to production. Our automation is typically built around a Jenkins 2 pipeline with AWS CloudFormation as the backbone of our deployment architecture. We collaborate to help each other grow our knowledge and engineering practices, encouraging frequent demos, knowledge sharing sessions, and mentoring relationships where it proves helpful to both the individual and team success.
As a leader on this team you will be expected to:

• Successfully operate within our engineering environment and help guide its evolution over time.
• Review technical designs, code, and tests, giving supportive feedback and asking good questions.
• Help build and grow a collaborative environment that rewards experiments, initiative, curiosity, and mentoring.
• Work with your team and peer groups across the entire Nike Global Technology organization to deliver an end-to-end integrated privacy and permissions platform.
• Set expectations and ask for the same from others which allows us to ensure we're working towards success as a team.
• Provide space for innovation and learning enabling a team that is able to act with confidence and maturity when encountering novel situations and challenges.
• Providing direction, empowering your team, and ensuring they have opportunities to grow make for a happy and productive team.

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

• Partner with other engineering and product leaders to build out the service ecosystem.
• Work with your team and peer groups across the entire Nike Global Technology organization to deliver an end-to-end integrated privacy and permissions platform.
