Engineering Manager

RECUR is a technology company that designs & develops dedicated branded experiences that allow fans to buy, collect, and re-sell digital products and collectibles. RECUR is the only blockchain-agnostic NFT platform ultimately giving its brand partners the widest range of distribution and their fan bases the widest range of utility. RECUR also co-authored the recurring royalty standard for NFTs, allowing for creators, artists, athletes, and brands to participate in the secondary sales of their assets in perpetuity.

RECUR needs a manager and technical leader to lead a team of engineers. At RECUR you will lead the engineering team focused on NFT utility, including building and managing a team of 4-7 engineers.

What do we at RECUR believe makes a great engineering team? 

Here are our core beliefs:

• It’s important to have team members that care about the team’s results more than their own individual achievements
• It’s important for leadership to be tolerant of making mistakes
• It’s important that the team members help, teach, and mentor one another
• It’s important not to place blame on individuals when things go bad but instead to evaluate as a team how we do it better the next time
• It’s important to be clear on what our mission is and minimize the distractions on the teams executing on that mission
• Small teams execute better than big ones, empower small teams with ownership and minimize the dependencies between them
• It’s important to encourage self-directed innovation
