Engineering Manager

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Texas.

📋 Description

• Lead a group of 3-4 software engineers to ensure the consistent and timely delivery of high-quality features and products.

• Take ownership not only of timely delivery but also of validating that the solutions the team produces effectively meet the needs of our customers and operators.

• Promote a culture of building, testing, and learning – focusing on shipping practical MVPs and iterating based on feedback instead of waiting for perfect requirements, while helping the team remain effective in uncertain conditions.

• Encourage seamless collaboration across the stack and reduce serialized hand-offs, facilitating a workflow without "throw it over the wall" delays.

• Advocate for and implement robust engineering methodologies and practices.

• Establish the team's standards for AI-assisted development, guiding engineers in the use of AI coding tools (such as Claude and Copilot) to enhance prototyping, code reviews, debugging, and documentation, while smoothing the path for adoption.

• Assist your team in developing sound judgment regarding where AI tools genuinely provide value and where they may fall short, ensuring high quality standards are maintained.

• Adjust the team's processes as AI-assisted development influences work velocity, using metrics to inform these adjustments.

• Mentor team members as they expand their skills and take on increased responsibilities.

• Collaborate with product managers to grasp requirements, prioritize backlogs, and establish timelines.

• Share responsibility for business metrics alongside product managers and cross-functional business partners.

⛳️ Requirements

• Minimum of 2 years of experience as a front-line manager in a high-growth organization.

• At least 5 years of experience as an individual contributor.

• Proven experience in front-end or full-stack development.

• A successful track record of integrating AI-assisted development within your team to achieve real throughput, beyond merely acquiring tool licenses.

• Sufficient familiarity with AI-powered features (such as LLM API integrations, RAG, and AI-driven automation) to credibly scope, estimate, and make architectural decisions with your team.

• Experience working with both monolithic and microservices architectures – bonus points for the ability to advise on when to use each approach.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the capability to align distributed, cross-functional teams.

• Strong sense of ownership in delivering the right solutions with high quality.

• A general curiosity and comfort in navigating a rapidly evolving AI landscape.

• Bonus: experience within the Python web development ecosystem (including frameworks like Flask, Django, Celery, etc.).

🏝️ Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage, with company contributions towards premiums.

• Generous time off policy, including 20 days of paid vacation, 5 sick days, 12 company holidays, and 2 floating holidays.

• Generous paid parental leave of up to 13 weeks.

• 401(k) plan with employer contribution matching.

• Remote-first work environment, with our headquarters located in Austin, TX.

• A collaborative, low-ego team that values intellectual curiosity and continuous improvement.
