Lead and mentor a small product development team building features for a core web app. Run 1:1s and engineering all-hands, coordinate projects, remove blockers, improve onboarding and documentation, collaborate with Product & Design, and support hiring to ensure efficient, customer-focused delivery as the product and customers scale.
We’re looking for an engineering manager who is inspired to mentor, grow, and help teams succeed, especially when the team is still small and nimble. You’re an experienced people manager and adept project manager who can guide developers to perform at their best and also remove any blockers that may appear.
As an engineering manager, you’ll lead a team of product developers as they build new features for our core web app. You’ll keep the team engaged as we scale up; make sure that projects are running without a hitch; and bridge the gap with Product & Design to make sure that what we are building is on target and prioritizing customer value. As we onboard bigger customers and continue to evolve our product, you’ll guide your team to execute with efficiency, and consistency.
