Software Engineering Manager, AI Growth
Leads engineering team building AI-powered developer tools, integrations, and agentic builders to drive product growth metrics. Requires 1+ years management experience, strong full-stack skills in TypeScript/React/Node.js, and growth experimentation background.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of engineers – help them prioritize for impact, grow in their careers, and do the best work of their lives.
- Own strategy, roadmap, and execution – work closely with your product and design partners to decide what to build and make sure it ships.
- Drive growth metrics – activation rates, signups from integrations, developer adoption. You'll know what's working because you're measuring it.
- Ship fast and iterate – run experiments, learn from failures, and double down on wins.
- Build AI developer tools – MCP integrations, agentic builders, and partnerships with the platforms where developers are building today.
- Build platform integrations – connect Sanity to the tools teams already use, like storage providers (Google Drive, Dropbox) and analytics platforms.
- Set technical direction – guide architecture decisions that balance velocity with maintainability across TypeScript, React, and Node.js, & Go microservices.
- Collaborate across the company – align with engineering leadership, marketing, and partnerships on shared growth metrics and goals.
Requirements
- 1+ years of engineering management experience – ideally in growth or experimentation-heavy environments.
- Strong full-stack technical skills – deep experience with TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Next.js. You can review code, guide architecture decisions, and jump in when needed.
- Actively using MCP and AI tools – you've used MCP servers in your own workflow and have opinions on tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, and v0.
- Growth engineering experience – you've run A/B tests, optimized funnels, and made data-informed decisions. Familiarity with tools like GrowthBook, Amplitude, or similar.
- Strong cross-functional collaborator – you work well with product, design, marketing, and partnerships.
- Comfortable with ambiguity – you can drive clarity when the path isn't obvious.
- Bias for action – you'd rather ship something and learn than plan forever.
Compensation
- Salary Range: $270K - $290K annually. Final compensation within this range will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and skill set.
- Competitive stock options program and location-based salary.
