Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. Show up. Change lives.

Software Engineering Managers at Meetup are people managers first. Our goal is to attract, grow, and retain world-class engineering talent. You will be part of the engineering leadership team, which means being aligned with our company values and advocating for adoption by others. While being exemplary cultural pillars, engineering managers are also responsible for team culture, coaching/mentoring, and the success of their engineers. If you're applying for this role, you're a great leader of people and are humble yet ambitious.

You are:

  • A leader: A strong desire to focus on managing people as well as developing and managing career growth plans with engineers and the ability to keep engineers focused on the most important things for both the company and themselves
  • Experienced: Have at least 3 years experience mentoring and/or managing engineers in technical and non-technical areas
  • Communication focused: You are adept at explaining the "Why" behind decisions. You understand the right medium for the message you are conveying, be it email, slack, or 1-on-1 meetings
  • A team player: You are the consummate team player. You work well with others. You aim to learn from, teach, and give timely and specific feedback to your colleagues
  • Adaptable: You can handle changing requirements and difficult problems. You build process for the long-term while managing iterative, short-term needs
  • Values-aligned: You have a dedication to the company's core mission of cultivating local community worldwide

What you get to do:

  • Be an effective people manager that focuses on coaching, team culture, and recruiting
  • Be the embodiment of Meetup culture for your team
  • Help drive engineering and management culture at Meetup
  • Ensure teams are set up with the right engineers and hold everyone accountable for their performance
  • Actively participate in your reports' professional development through coaching, timely and specific feedback, regular 1-on-1s, and highlighting growth opportunities
  • Unblock team members by working with neighboring teams to determine solutions and timelines
  • Manage engineers with different experience/skillset than your own
  • Work with our recruiting partners on outreach efforts, interview prep, and interviewing
  • Own the roadmap for the mobile team and work with your engineering lead on planning and execution

Bonus points for:

  • Know/like any of the tools we use: mobile release structures, mobile tooling e.g. Google Play Store, iTunes Connect, Google Analytics, BuddyBuild, Travis
  • Project management experience
  • Organizing local meetups

An Insider's view of Meetup

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Meetup promotes a healthy balance and respect around work life, personal life, and family life. It's not simply policy but instead, the culture that lives with all employees (managers and leaders included). Work happens during our traditional business hours.

Harry Chiu

Head of Recruiting

What does your typical day look like?

As an engineer at Meetup, my mission is to build things that help product teams focus on our users and develop our product faster and with better quality. My team mob programs or pair programs by default, which works great for us because it increases code and architecture, knowledge sharing, focus, productivity and team bonding.

Jaclyn Jiménez

Senior Full Stack Engineer

How does the company support your career growth?

I created my own professional development path by participating in the Employee Resource Group and Diversity & Inclusion council. Participating and organizing these company initiatives allowed me to stretch my leadership muscles, understand the value of empathizing with my colleagues, and appreciate the ability to use my voice to influence change.

What is your vision for the company?

Meetup empowers personal growth through real human connections because we see a future built on deep trust and collective effort. We are creating a world where people can turn to each other to improve their lives. We believe that real, human connection drives real change.

What's something quirky about your company?

What I enjoy the most about working at Meetup is the people. As a mission driven company with a focus on building community, our community sets a great example. I consider myself incredibly lucky to work amongst such incredible individuals. I feel seen, supported, and empowered to not only be my unique self, but to make the changes I know I can.
