Engineering Manager

Who you are

• Our ideal candidate is an inspiring leader who is very technically strong/hands-on and brings positivity and passion to their work and their teams
• ~3 years of experience in a software engineering management role leading fullstack product engineering teams, preferably in high-growth environments
• A track record of leading high-performing, engaged full-stack engineering teams - not purely backend-platform or purely frontend teams
• Strong product sense and an instinct for balancing speed, quality, and user impact
• Experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g. React) and backend systems (e.g. Node.js)
• High degree of cross-functional collaboration - past colleagues in product, design, and business would speak highly of your teamwork
• A plus: growth or PLG experience (self-serve activation, onboarding, upgrade flows) - desirable, not required
