Meetup is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who wants to lead a team across our Platform and Infrastructure Engineering while supporting our platform and quality process team. If you're an engineering leader who loves to mentor and manage people, has ideas on how to innovate and improve the way people Meetup, solve unique problems at a global scale, and has a strong background and experience in back-end platform engineering in a CI/CD environment (using technologies like Scala, Java, Travis, Jenkins, AWS, GCP, RobotFramework, Selenium, Appium etc), this is the role for you. At Meetup, we are passionate about sparking real life communities that change lives and change the world. Every day, people unite and explore life together thanks to Meetups. Join our team of dedicated people who relentlessly craft code, design, and strategies that make a maximum impact on people's lives.

  • Effective communication throughout the engineering organization and with all partners on our product, design, and strategy teams
  • Deep understanding of how engineering and product teams are put together
  • Experience and passion in leading initiatives for improving Meetup engineering culture, values, process, speed, quality, execution, and delivery
  • Knowledge in rooting and scaling the Meetup culture within their team

What we expect in a leader (just to name a few):

  • Keep track of project timelines, and support the team by proactively helping fix project delays and issues
  • Coach engineers and teams to build and maintain trust across groups
  • Be an influential force! Set clear performance goals and also motivate engineers to actively participate in the larger engineering community (and do so themselves!)
  • Lead with transparency. Set direction of teams' focus based on company goals

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.

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'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.
