About the Role

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead and grow a team of engineers while staying close to the technology. You'll own your team's delivery, health, and growth — hiring and developing engineers, driving execution, and partnering across functions — without losing the technical judgment that earns your team's trust. This is a people-leadership role for someone who has built and run high-performing teams and brings a strong engineering foundation to the job.

What You'll Do

1. Own your team's delivery, health, and growth — planning, execution, and shipping across one or more teams.
2. Hire, grow, and retain engineers; run 1:1s, performance management, and career development.
3. Set and raise engineering standards, processes, and ways of working.
4. Provide technical direction and pressure-test decisions without micromanaging.
5. Partner with product, design, and leadership; manage up and across.
6. Own team-level operational excellence, including incident and on-call ownership.

What We're Looking For

• 8–12 years of total engineering experience, including 3+ years of direct engineering leadership (people management) — owning a team's delivery, growth, and performance, not solely tech-lead/IC seniority.
• A track record of hiring, growing, and retaining engineers, with positive retention and team-health outcomes.
• Delivery ownership across one or more teams and strong cross-functional partnership with PM, design, and leadership.
• A strong underlying engineering foundation comparable to a Staff Engineer: driving architecture and technical direction across multiple services or teams.
• Deep distributed systems and cloud-native architecture knowledge; engineering judgment retained alongside the management role.
• Demonstrated impact on multi-team technical direction, migrations/modernization, reliability/performance, and engineering standards.
• A degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related engineering field is preferred but not required — we weight work outcomes most heavily.

Nice to Have

• AI platform architecture experience.
• Agentic systems / LLM infrastructure experience.

Values

• We are client first: We put our clients at the center of everything we do, because their success is the ultimate measure of our value.

• We work at Start-Up Speed: We move fast, stay agile and favor action because momentum is the foundation of perfection

• We are AI forward: We help our clients build the future of Al and implement it in our own roles and workflow to amplify productivity.
