Engineering Manager

Your Responsibilities

• Owns the full people management lifecycle for direct reports: 1:1s, performance reviews, career development, hiring, terminations, and compensation decisions.
• Manages multiple engineering teams, owning people and delivery outcomes across scope.
• Ensures teams meet their KPIs and have the right staffing to deliver on commitments.
• Develops Tech Leads in their roles, supporting their growth in design ownership, technical mentorship, and delivery accountability.
• Owns active project management for feature development—defining scope with Product partners, scheduling delivery, identifying dependencies and complexities, managing timelines, and moving resources as necessary to protect commitments.
• Acts as the project management layer for engineering: coordinates with Product Managers to align on deadlines and priorities, surfaces risks early, and proactively resolves scheduling conflicts.
• Holds Tech Leads accountable to delivery commitments and design completion. Gut-checks estimates and engages with project designs, plans, and scope definitions to identify execution and schedule risk.
• Holds partial accountability for burn charts—does not own them outright but is responsible for ensuring they accurately reflect project health.
• Ensures deployment plans are defined and in place ahead of every feature release.
• Identifies technical and schedule risks across projects; partners with Tech Leads on mitigation strategies before issues escalate.
• Partners with Product Management to understand priorities, define features clearly, and negotiate tradeoffs between scope, time, and resources.
• Partners with Tech Leads to ensure execution proceeds correctly per process and standards. Where execution gaps exist, addresses them through coaching, resourcing, or process intervention.
• Drives process improvement initiatives to increase team efficiency, delivery predictability, and engineering quality.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong background as a hands-on technical contributor earlier in your career.
• 3+ years of experience in an engineering management role, with direct responsibility for project delivery and people management.
• Demonstrated experience managing and developing engineering talent, including performance reviews, hiring, and compensation decisions.
• Proven experience owning project management for software feature development, not just coordination, but full accountability for schedule, scope, process, and outcomes.
• Technical depth sufficient to evaluate risks in designs and plans, gut-check technical estimates, and credibly partner with Tech Leads. You don’t need to be the deepest technical expert in the room; you need to be technical enough to ask the right questions and recognize when an answer doesn’t add up.
• Strong track record of collaborating with Product Management to define features, align on priorities, and navigate tradeoffs.
• Ability to identify and manage technical and schedule risk proactively, developing mitigation strategies before issues escalate.
• Solid understanding of software delivery processes, standards, and deployment practices.
