About the role
We are seeking an Engineering Manager to own team delivery, execution, and people leadership, ensuring our engineering teams deliver high-quality outcomes in a predictable and sustainable way. This role owns how work gets delivered and how teams perform — not system-wide technical direction — and is a key partner to Product in turning plans into predictable outcomes
Key Responsibilities
- Own delivery of team commitments — scope, timelines, and quality.
- Build and lead high-performing engineering teams.
- Drive execution practices: planning, estimation, and delivery cadence.
- Ensure clear ownership and accountability within the team.
- Hire, develop, and retain engineers.
- Maintain team health, engagement, and performance.
- Partner with Product and Design on planning and prioritization.
- Manage risks, dependencies, and delivery trade-offs.
- Ensure operational excellence at the team level (on-call, incidents, and reliability).
Required Skills
- Proven experience managing software engineering teams, including direct people leadership (hiring, coaching, performance management).
- Track record owning delivery of team commitments: scope, timelines, and quality in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong command of execution practices: sprint/iteration planning, estimation, and delivery cadence.
- Experience partnering with Product and Design to negotiate scope and priorities.
- Comfort managing risk, dependencies, and delivery trade-offs across a team.
- Experience owning team-level operational excellence, including on-call and incident response.
- Track record building and driving process from the ground up, with high autonomy.
- Strong track record influencing senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners, not just direct reports.
- Proven ability to independently build the case for hiring and capacity needs, not just execute against a pre-set plan.
- Comfortable creating clarity and structure in ambiguous or fast-changing environments.
Preferred Skills
- Experience partnering with Principal/Staff engineers on architecture alignment, without owning it directly.
- Background scaling a team through significant headcount or product growth.
- Experience operating in a fully remote, distributed team environment.
- Familiarity with working in a SOC 2 or similarly compliance-driven engineering organization.
