Role Overview

Ravn is a digital product development agency that partners with companies to build exceptional software. We specialize in building and designing world-class mobile and web applications and are looking for exceptional engineers to join our company.

At Ravn, we do quality work at lightning speed. The only way to consistently meet requirements with a high degree of confidence is to hire people who share a passion for technology and are focused on building and delivery software the right way.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Engineering Manager to lead and mentor our software engineering teams. This role will be instrumental in ensuring the successful delivery of complex software projects, fostering a culture of technical excellence, and driving continuous improvement in our software development practices.

Reporting directly to the Head of Technology, the Engineering Manager is expected to own a portfolio of 5–6 client projects (~20–25 engineers), with full accountability for both technical execution and people development.

Responsibilities:

What you'll do:

• Own the technical success of every project in your portfolio — architecture decisions, quality, risk management, delivery
• Manage, coach, and grow the engineers on your teams — performance reviews, career development, tough conversations
• Partner with Product Managers on scope, timeline, and client relationships
• Stay hands-on enough to make architecture calls, review code, and unblock technical problems — but operate through leverage, not individual output
• Work with Tech Leads for deep specialization while retaining all project decisions

What we're looking for:

• Senior+ software engineering experience with breadth across multiple stacks
• Proven track record leading technical teams and owning project outcomes end-to-end
• Experience managing people — performance feedback, career growth, difficult conversations
• Comfort managing multiple projects simultaneously with competing priorities
• Sound judgment: when to delegate vs. handle directly, when to escalate vs. resolve
• Strong communication skills — you'll work with engineers, PMs, clients, and leadership

What sets this role apart:

• Real ownership — you decide architecture, technology, staffing, and approach for your projects
• People-first — you own the growth and wellbeing of your engineers, not just their output
• Technical — you stay close to the code through architecture decisions, pair programming, and code review, not meetings-only management
• Scale — 5–6 concurrent projects gives you breadth and variety, not a single-product silo

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (Master's degree preferred).
• Proven experience (7+ years) in software development, with a strong background in any of the following languages JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#.
• Demonstrated experience (3+ years) in a leadership or management role, preferably in a consultancy or software development environment.
• Strong understanding of software development methodologies, including Agile and DevOps.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.
• Ability to effectively manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Experience with architecture reviews and design patterns.
• Experience with code reviews, and enforcement of best practices.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Preferred Qualifications (You'll Earn Points If):

• Experience with specific industry domains relevant to the consultancy's clients.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with database management systems and data modeling.
