Senior Engineering Manager

About the role

As an early Engineering Manager at Unify GTM, you’ll be stepping into a rare opportunity: shaping the DNA of an early-stage, high-velocity engineering org that’s building with the leading edge of AI. You’ll lead one of our core product pods, owning delivery, quality, and team health and partner closely with product and design to bring bold ideas to life. You’ll also help set the foundation for how we scale: our culture, our systems, and our standards of technical and operational excellence. This is a high-impact, high-trust role at a moment of rapid growth, perfect for someone who wants to build, lead, and grow alongside an ambitious team.

Responsibilities

• Lead a core product team: Manage, coach, and grow a group of high-performing engineers while keeping your finger on the pulse of technical work.
• Own delivery: Collaborate with product and design leads to scope and ship product initiatives that are customer-centered, fast, and reliable.
• Level up our systems: Continuously improve engineering processes from planning to observability to CI/CD to support rapid iteration and scale.
• Lead by example: Participate in code reviews, design conversations, and incident response to stay close to the craft.
• Build the team: Recruit, hire, and onboard top engineering talent as we grow the org 3x+ in the next 12 months.
• Shape culture: Foster a team environment grounded in ownership, speed, and empathy for each other and for our users.

Requirements

• 8+ years of engineering experience, with 3+ years of engineering management in fast-moving environments.
• Experience building and leading teams at early-stage startups, shipping high-quality software under tight feedback loops.
• Strong technical leadership with the ability to set a high bar and inspire others to reach it.
• Comfortable in high-autonomy, high-accountability environments and energized by building from scratch.
• Ability to wear multiple hats and thrive in early-stage chaos: recruiting, writing code, running retros, debugging prod, or tweaking the roadmap.
• Deep care for people and investment in helping others grow both technically and as teammates.
• Move fast, stay scrappy, and always prioritize impact.

Skills

We use a modern, high-performance stack: TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Pulsar, ClickHouse, Temporal, and LLMs. Familiarity is great, but what matters most is your ability to learn fast, lead with curiosity, and raise the bar.
