As the UI Engineering Manager for Flexera’s Engineering Global UI team, you will lead UI strategy and roadmap deliveries across the UI environment of our application that solves real and challenging industry problems for our customers.

This is an engineering role (not related to user experience).

Flexera gives companies clarity into their technology “black hole,” helping business leaders turn IT insight into action. With a portfolio of integrated solutions and products that deliver unparalleled technology insights, spend optimization and agility, Flexera helps enterprises realize IT’s full potential to accelerate their business.

We are developing with modern front-end technologies, including React, Type Script and Styled Components, working closely with Flexera’s design and product teams to continue to build on our “one source of truth” design system using Storybook.

Our products will give customers the visibility they need to be prepared for financial, operational and security events. The UI team have been building clean and smart UI for these areas over several years and are looking for a UI engineering manager to aid their priorities and objectives as we look ahead.

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll be responsible for workload management, wellbeing, and professional growth of the engineers on your team. You’ll help foster an open and collaborative environment and support systems to help your team succeed.

You will be leading the Platform UI team within Platform Engineering, which is at the heart of the UI architecture and build of the front-end systems powering our platforms.
