Job summary

Siena AI is seeking an Engineering Manager to own day-to-day execution across Channels, Analytics, Agents, and Integrations, enabling the Engineering Manager to focus on strategy and growth.

You will run 1:1s, shape debt plans, and unblock engineers before issues escalate, with ownership of scope changes and team shaping. This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, async, globally distributed environment.

Qualifications

• 3+ years managing an engineering team in a product-delivery capacity.
• Startup or scale-up experience: you know what it feels like when there's no process and no safety net, you've built from 0-1.
• Genuine AI/LLM fluency: you understand agentic systems, evals, and model reliability.

Responsibilities

• Delivery (~50%): Own the weekly cadence for Channels and Analytics, surface and sequence priorities with PMs and engineering leadership, unblock engineers proactively, and write technical debt plans with engineers, not for them
• Developer Experience (~25%): Improve the things that slow good engineers down, bring structure where it adds speed, and resist adding process for its own sake
• People Development (~25%): Run 1:1s that leave engineers with clearer thinking, deliver hard feedback directly, help senior engineers grow toward management, and act as a backup hiring partner
