Engineering Manager

Responsibilities

• Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish
• Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds
• Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed
• Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out
• Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related to the product areas your team owns
• Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft

• You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back

• Ask "why" obsessively, and you push yourself (and your team) to learn constantly
• Build trust, give direct feedback, and create space for engineers to thrive
