Engineering Manager

Trade your current backlog for ours: Cushman & Wakefield needs an Engineering Manager in Chicago, IL to take Initiative systems from fragile to bulletproof. Consider the trade: your 8 years of Ansible for $126,000 - $204,000, an internship schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

Key Responsibilities

• Ship incremental improvements to Cushman & Wakefield's Chicago platform on a regular cadence
• Walk technology stakeholders through CI/CD tradeoffs in language Cushman & Wakefield execs grasp
• Translate a napkin idea from Cushman & Wakefield founders into a Kafka low-drama prototype
• Reverse-engineer the genuinely-flexible Agile format Cushman & Wakefield inherited and never documented
• Slice the craft-focused technology monolith into Ansible services Chicago, IL can deploy alone

What You'll Bring

• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, deeply collaborative environment
• A collaborator who makes the manager review feel less like an exam
• 6 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses

Cushman & Wakefield doesn't sell technology so much as guarantee it, a candidly-kind distinction the Chicago, IL team takes personally. Autonomy here comes with a partner: ask for help the moment you're stuck on Kafka.

Sign on for $126,000 - $204,000, gain a growth path into technology, a personal mentor, and benefits that make Chicago feel like home.
