Overview

Senior Software Engineering Manager responsible for leading a cross-functional engineering team, driving technical strategy, delivery, and people development in a fast-paced startup environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead & Mentor: Manage a cross-functional team of 5–8 engineers. Conduct 1:1s, provide actionable feedback, and chart career growth paths for your reports.
• Stay Hands-on: Contribute to the codebase, lead complex architectural discussions, and perform deep-dive code reviews. Unblock engineers technically when needed.
• Drive Execution: Partner with Product Managers and Designers to turn the product roadmap into a sprint-ready backlog. Own the "how" and the "when" of delivery.
• Recruit & Scale: Actively participate in hiring to build a world-class engineering organization. Refine interview loops to identify top-tier talent.
• Process Excellence: Implement agile methodologies that work for a fast-paced startup—minimizing fluff and maximizing shipping velocity.

How we measure impact

• Velocity & Predictability: Consistent delivery of high-quality features with minimal carry-over and high sprint predictability.
• Technical Quality: Maintaining low technical debt and high system availability; ensuring the team adheres to "AI-first" development workflows.
• Product Success: Direct contribution to business goals like reducing construction timelines or increasing lead-to-sale conversion through tech.

You’ll thrive if you

• Still love building but find equal joy in seeing your team succeed.
• Can switch contexts instantly between a high-level business meeting and a deep-dive debugging session.
• Believe that "the best process is the one that gets out of the way" and favor automation over manual checks.

Qualifications

• 9+ years of total software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years in a formal people management or team lead role.
• Technical Depth: Expert-level proficiency in our stack (Node/Go/Python/React) and the ability to design complex distributed systems.
• People First: Proven track record of mentoring engineers and handling performance management with empathy and clarity.
• Operational Grit: Experience running production systems at scale, including managing on-call rotations and incident responses.
