Role Summary

Seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead and grow a team of full-stack engineers delivering scalable, cloud-native applications aligned to our Golden Path engineering stack. This role blends hands-on technical leadership with people management, balancing delivery execution, engineering quality, and the growth of your team.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical judgment with proven people-management skills, enabling them to hire, coach, and retain top engineering talent while partnering closely with product, architecture, and business stakeholders to deliver high-impact software. Success in this role requires a bias for execution, strong communication, and a passion for building high-performing engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a hybrid engineering team — full-time engineers and contractors — owning hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development across Junior to Senior levels.
• Partner with product, architecture, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into clear, phased technical roadmaps , balancing competing priorities across teams.
• Drive engineering execution across the full stack ( React, TypeScript, Go, Java, Python, Node.js, AWS ), ensuring quality, scalability, and reliability — including work delivered by contractors.
• Establish and champion engineering excellence — code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD — and track delivery health through metrics like PR cycle time, deployment frequency, and defect rates
• Own operational support for your team's systems: logging, on-call rotations, incident response, and postmortems to prevent recurring failures.
• Ensure your team's work meets security and compliance standards — data handling and access controls — across both FTE and contractor deliverables.
• Conduct 1:1s, performance reviews, and career coaching , fostering a culture of accountability, growth, and technical excellence.
• Report on team health, delivery metrics, and business impact to senior leadership.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, with 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in a people-management or engineering leadership role.
• Proven track record hiring, managing, and growing high-performing engineering teams, including experience directing and reviewing work from external contractors or agency partners alongside full-time staff.
• Strong hands-on background across the Golden Path stack ReactJS, TypeScript, Go, Java, Python, Node.js ), with the technical credibility to guide architecture and code-quality decisions.
• Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures AWS microservices, CI/CD, and modern DevOps practices.
• Working knowledge of data security and compliance practices — access controls, data privacy — sufficient to guide a team's system and integration design decisions.
• Experience driving Agile/Scrum delivery , sprint planning, and backlog management — protecting the team from over-commitment and making resource trade-offs to ship predictably.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to translate technical constraints and delivery risk into clear terms for both technical and non-technical business stakeholders.

Nice to Have Skills

• Experience managing distributed or remote engineering teams across time zones.
• Familiarity with GenAI/LLM application development — prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agent orchestration, or vector databases.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted engineering tools such as Gemini, Claude Code, or GitHub Copilot.
• Experience in real estate technology, marketplace platforms, or customer-facing SaaS products.
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Certified Scrum Master (CSM), or similar.
• Prior experience as a Staff or Lead Engineer before transitioning into engineering management. xhyhwjd
