Engineering Manager

Responsibilities

• Own execution for your team end-to-end: delivery, quality bar, scope trade-offs, and the decisions that get things shipped without accumulating technical debt
• Embed AI tooling into how your team builds as a default, not a suggestion, identifying where it accelerates development cycles, improves code quality, and removes bottlenecks that previously required human intervention
• Architect the layer of AI-powered systems and tooling that makes your team disproportionately productive, not just feature-shipping, but building the automation that multiplies output
• Partner with Product and Design from early strategy through production, bringing engineering perspective into the room before decisions are made
• Contribute to technical direction for your area: surface platform needs and scaling challenges early, and help your team make good architectural calls
• Develop your team: invest in its growth, stretch the high-potential, and build a team where people get better because of working there
• Partner with recruiting to hire strong engineers, hold a high bar on every candidate, and build a team culture that retains them

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years managing a software engineering team at a high-growth technology company
• Fundamentally changed how you build software because of AI: you use it to architect, debug, write, and review code, and you have a clear point of view on where it accelerates your team's output versus where judgment still needs to be human
• Strong enough technical judgment to earn the trust of your team, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and give meaningful input on what gets built and how
• Track record of developing engineers: you've invested in people's growth and can point to what they went on to do
• Customer-centric instincts: you connect engineering decisions to outcomes for the service businesses we serve, not just to technical correctness
• Comfortable working in close collaboration with Product and Design to define what gets built, not just how
