Engineering Manager Job Description

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow a high-performing engineering team. You will be responsible for the people, processes, and technical outcomes of your team — coaching engineers, setting direction, removing blockers, and ensuring delivery of high-quality software.

• Partner with product managers and designers to align on vision, scope, and trade-offs
• Set and uphold high standards for engineering quality, reliability, and security
• Drive continuous improvement in engineering processes, tooling, and practices
• Hire and retain top engineering talent — sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding
• Manage team performance clearly and fairly, supporting growth and addressing underperformance
• Represent engineering priorities and progress to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders

Requirements

• 3+ years of engineering management experience, leading teams of 4 or more engineers
• Strong technical background — hands-on software engineering experience
• Demonstrated ability to develop engineers at all levels
• Experience working in Agile environments and running engineering planning cycles
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Track record of delivering complex software projects on time and at quality
• Ability to balance technical leadership with team management responsibilities

Nice to Have

• Experience scaling engineering teams from 5 to 15+ engineers
• Background in distributed systems or full-stack development
• Experience managing remote or distributed engineering teams
• Exposure to architecture reviews and technology strategy
