Engineering Manager
Primary stack
Job description
About the Position
We're seeking an Engineering Manager with 7+ years experience to lead a team of ~10-11 engineers in a remote, full-time role.
About the Role
We need a builder who leads, not a manager who used to build. You'll be in the codebase daily, deep in commit reviews, making sure fixes stay fixed - running a team of ~10-11 engineers in tight daily partnership with Product, with a real path to Director of Engineering, then VP Engineering or CTO.
The recurring problem is regression: fixes that land, then resurface weeks later. You'll build the discipline - regression test coverage as merge gates, root-cause fixes over patches - that makes "fixed" actually mean fixed. AI coding tools (like Claude Code) are the default, not novelty. See how we run engineering and our compensation philosophy in the handbook.
Responsibilities
- Ship code, review architecture decisions, know the projects your team owns as well as the engineers building them
- Commit quality and cadence - daily commit rhythms, deep code review, regression discipline as a merge gate
- Team of ~10-11 engineers - 1:1s, performance, hiring, prioritization
- Daily lockstep with embedded PMs - without direct management authority over Product; Product reports separately
- Growth path from EM to Director of Engineering, then VP Engineering or CTO - explicit, structured, driven by demonstrated ownership
Requirements
- 7+ years in engineering, 3+ years directly managing 8+ engineers
- Genuinely fluent in the codebase - you review PRs at depth, not just approve them
- Similar stack experience (Java/Spring Boot, Kafka, distributed data) or a fast ramp
- Track record running engineering rhythms: commit cadence, review standards, release process
- Strong regression-prevention instincts - CI gates, test coverage for fixed bugs, root-cause fixes
- Comfortable with AI-assisted development as the default workflow
- Startup/scale-up comfort with ambiguity - tight Product partnership without formal authority
Tech Stack
- Java 21
- Spring Boot WebFlux
- Kafka
- ClickHouse
- PostgreSQL
- Kubernetes
- AWS
- AI-assisted development
Not a Fit If
- You stopped writing code when you got the manager title
- You think fixing regression means adding a null check and moving on
- You need formal authority over every function you partner with
We Offer
- Competitive compensation
- Remote work options
- Professional development opportunities
