Job description

The Role

Engineering Managers at Gigs are responsible for enabling a high‑performing group of engineers to ship impactful work, grow their skills, and collaborate cross‑functionally. This is a hands‑on leadership role—you will guide technical execution while helping shape the team’s long‑term direction.

We are building a modern connectivity platform that powers embedded telecom experiences and the challenges are real: scaling APIs, abstracting telco complexity, and designing systems that are global from day one.

What You Will Do

• Lead, support, and grow a team of software engineers working on core parts of our platform
• Partner with Product and Design to define priorities, shape roadmaps, and deliver high-quality features
• Drive technical excellence—from architecture to code reviews to reliability
• Create a team environment that balances ambition, ownership, and continuous learning
• Ensure a sustainable and inclusive engineering culture where people thrive
• Contribute to hiring and onboarding processes to help scale the team thoughtfully
• Step into technical discussions with clarity and pragmatism when needed

What We Are Looking For

• 4+ years of experience leading engineering teams in high‑growth, product‑driven environments
• Strong technical background—you have shipped code at scale and can dive deep when needed
• A thoughtful approach to people management and a track record of growing and developing engineers
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and building clarity
• A clear communicator who brings cross‑functional stakeholders together
• Bias for impact, balanced with high standards and good judgment
• Experience with modern product development practices (we use Go, Ruby, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GCP), including continuous delivery, observability, and infrastructure as code
• Ideally experience managing and working with remote and distributed teams
• Experience building API‑forward products (nice to have)

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan.
