Engineering Manager

• In this role, you will lead a small engineering team as a hands-on player-coach — owning the team’s delivery and health, developing the engineers on it, and still contributing directly to the codebase where it adds the most leverage. Engineering Managers turn roadmaps into shipped software through the people they lead, balancing people leadership, delivery management, and personal technical contribution in a deliberately lean, AI-forward environment
• Impact on the business: Engineering Managers are the connective tissue between strategy and execution. They build healthy, high-performing teams that ship reliable, money-touching software; they grow engineers from junior through senior; and they multiply their team’s output by staying close enough to the work to unblock it, hold the quality bar, and model strong engineering practice
• Lead a team of 2–4 engineers (junior through senior), owning their day-to-day management, growth, and performance
• Own sprint-to-sprint delivery — planning, prioritization, sequencing, and honest communication of scope, timeline, and risk
• Manage individual performance and development through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, career growth conversations, and the harder conversations when they’re needed
• Contribute hands-on to the codebase where it adds the most leverage — typically the ambiguous, load-bearing, or unblocking work — while deliberately leaving well-scoped growth opportunities to the team
• Partner with Product, Design, and peer engineering teams to align on priorities, resolve dependencies, and translate business goals into deliverable work
• Own team health and operational quality, including on-call, incident response, and a real quality and compliance bar in a regulated, money-touching domain
• Cultivate a collaborative, continuous learning, and inclusive team culture
• Champion high-leverage, AI-forward ways of working that raise the team’s throughput without compromising quality
• Remove blockers, shield the team from unnecessary noise, and create the conditions for engineers to do their best work

• Family Support, Planning, and Fertility: Our benefit offerings support every unique path to parenthood including fertility, egg freezing, adoption, surrogacy, parental bonding, and more.
• Mentorship Culture: Find a mentor, be a mentor, say yes to something new. This is a place where you’re guaranteed to build connections that extend past your immediate team and even your tenure at RV.
• Purpose & Community: We empower employees to make an impact for causes they care about, and we invest heavily in systemic impact through nonprofits like Road to Hire.
• World-Class Wellness: In addition to the on-site amenities at HQ, our unique wellness benefits include free therapy sessions and counseling for U.S. employees and family members.- Still technically hands-on and credible — able to review, contribute to, and make sound decisions within a modern TypeScript codebase
• Experience leading and managing a small engineering team, or a technical lead / player-coach ready to formalize into people management
• Familiar with observability/APM and incident-response tooling; upholds operational and quality standards for a regulated, money-touching product
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS), infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD automation
• Clear communicator with both technical and non-technical stakeholders; comfortable managing up, across, and outward
• Comfortable with ambiguity and a lean operating model; biases toward leverage and automation over headcount
• Remains hands-on within our primarily TypeScript-based stack spanning API services and full-stack web applications
• Strong people-leadership skills: coaching, feedback, performance management, and developing engineers across levels
• Solid delivery management: decomposing work, sequencing, managing dependencies and risk, and communicating status honestly
• Fluent with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or Microsoft Copilot, and able to use them to raise team throughput and reduce toil while holding the review and quality bar
• Leverages AI tooling to increase team throughput and reduce toil
