At Hiro, we build developer tools that bring Web3 to Bitcoin. Our suite of tools unlocks the full potential of Bitcoin through smart contracts, digital assets, and decentralized applications. With Hiro tools, developers can test and deploy smart contracts, spin up nodes and other server-side resources for scaling, and more. Building on Bitcoin is hard. Hiro's developer tools make it easier.

We’re very proud to say that Hiro has consistently been recognized on Built In’s Best Places to Work list, including 2025’s Best Remote Startups to Work For, Best Startups to Work For in New York City, 50 Best U.S. Startup Companies to Work For, and 100 Best Remote Places to Work.

Hiro is funded and backed by more than $75 million from Union Square Ventures, Y Combinator, Lux Capital, Winklevoss Capital, Naval Ravikant, and others.

About the Opportunity

As our Senior Engineering Manager at Hiro, you’ll lead our Infrastructure (DevOps and API) teams to meet the technical, operational, and revenue-scale needs of our fast-growing developer platform. Reporting to the VP of Engineering, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our engineering culture, streamlining processes, and delivering mission-critical initiatives—drawing on a proven track record of building developer tools, APIs, or SaaS platforms in high-growth, distributed environments.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with engineering and product leadership to define roadmaps, set clear priorities, and continuously refine how we build and operate. As we scale beyond 20 engineers, you’ll be key to hiring, mentoring, and retaining top talent—ensuring our infrastructure remains robust, secure, and positioned to support emerging revenue opportunities in Web3/Bitcoin tooling.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee the Infra (DevOps and API) teams, coordinating day-to-day execution, planning, and alignment with business priorities.
• Mentor, coach, and develop engineers, fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing culture.
• Partner with Hiro leadership to define the technical strategy for critical components of Hiro’s platform.
• Drive engineering excellence through architecture discussions, code reviews, and operational best practices—ensuring reliability, security, and scalability.
• Ensure timely project delivery by setting clear goals, removing roadblocks, and communicating effectively across teams.
• Hire and retain top talent, building a team that thrives in a remote-first environment.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of software development experience, with 5+ years as an engineering manager, ideally of distributed teams in API, Developer Tools, or SaaS platforms
• Strong technical background in JS, TS, Node, Rust, or similar languages—and a solid grasp of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Proven ability to drive large-scale, revenue-ready initiatives, balancing quality, security, and cost-efficiency.
• Proven track record of hiring, mentoring, and retaining top technical talent in a remote or hybrid setting
• Demonstrated ability to deliver on complex projects: planning, de-risking unknowns, and managing expectations
• Comfortable driving high-quality engineering outputs, from code reviews to architectural decisions
• Skilled communicator who can collaborate across product, design, and operations, translating tech needs and business goals

We’d Also Like to See

• Blockchain/Web3 experience or strong interest in decentralized systems.
• A history of building or operating multi-layer architectures with high-performance and reliability requirements.
• Experience participating and driving in technical deep dives, code reviews, and architectural design discussions.
• Enthusiasm for shaping a diverse, inclusive culture where every engineer feels supported and heard.
• Adaptability in fast-paced, dynamic environments—comfortable making decisions with partial data.

We’d love to hear from you even if you don’t have experience or interest in every bullet. There’s no perfect candidate and we want to find the right fit, even if it’s different than we imagine. We especially would like to meet underrepresented/underestimated candidates.

What we’ll offer:

• Compensation (regardless of location, benchmarked annually): $210-$245k
• Additional compensation in the form of quarterly Stacks (STX) token vests and Bitcoin (BTC) bonuses
• Company equity in the form of Hiro options
• $500/mo co-working space reimbursement
• $1,200/yr stipend for learning and development
• Annual conference & team meetup budgets
• $1,000/yr of charity donation matching to an organization of your choosing
