## Job Description
## What You’ll Do

- Manage, mentor, and coach engineers, building a healthy, inclusive team where people enjoy the work and feel they’re growing.
- Consolidate inputs from engineers, PMs, and leadership into a single, prioritized backlog for the team.
- Run simple, effective planning and prioritization so everyone understands what we’re doing and why.
- Improve remote communication habits so people ask questions, share context, and avoid working in isolation.
- Partner closely with PMs to define roadmaps, shape requirements, and balance product priorities with technical debt and reliability.
- Engage in deep technical discussions with senior engineers on architecture, tradeoffs, and systems design.
- Encourage and model effective use of AI tools in day-to-day engineering work, helping the team adopt and continually improve how they use tools like **Claude Code**.
- Ensure the team’s systems are reliable, maintainable, and aligned with our long-term technical direction.
- Define and track team goals, communicate progress and risks to leadership, and make a model team within engineering.

## What You Might Be a Fit If You…

- Have ~**3–7+ years** as an Engineering Manager or equivalent people leader, and previously worked as a hands-on engineer.
- Have enough technical depth to engage confidently with senior engineers on architecture and complex systems.
- Lead with empathy, care about people’s careers, and are comfortable being human and honest with your team.
- Have run performance reviews, navigated hard feedback, and coached engineers through real growth.
- Are used to partnering with PMs from idea → requirements → shipped work, and bring user and business context into technical decisions.
- Have taken a team from conflicting inputs and ad-hoc work to a clear backlog and simple, effective rituals.
- Enjoy improving process just enough to help people move faster, not to add bureaucracy.
- Are excited about leveraging AI in engineering workflows, and either have experience with tools like **Claude Code** or are eager to become highly proficient with them.
- Prefer rolling up your sleeves and fixing problems directly rather than waiting for someone else to own them.
- Thrive in remote, startup environments.
- **Bonus**: have experience in security, encryption, or data-protection–heavy systems.
