About the role

This is a people-and-delivery leadership role, not a technical-authority role.
If that division of labour sounds like a relief rather than a constraint, you're the kind of leader we're looking for.
We're not, and we intend to stay that way… which is exactly why this seat matters.

4 engineering team leads (~14 engineers total)
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the day-to-day of our engineering organization so that our four teams ship the right things, on time, without burning out or losing focus.
You own how and when the work gets done and who does it well.
Technical direction, what we build and the architecture behind it, stays with the CTO and our technical leads.
You'll manage four engineering team leads who, between them, run roughly fourteen engineers across our product, platform, and security/operations surface.
Each lead owns the one-on-ones and day-to-day coaching of their own team.
You run the engineering team's own weekly Level 10 meeting, separate from the executive L10, focused on engineering's leading indicators and issues.
You build the cadence that keeps the team focused and stops people from flipping between things half-finished.
You own the bar, the pipeline, and most importantly, keeping the good people we already have.
Most shops in our industry are bad at building software.

You came up through engineering, you can read a pull request and follow an architecture conversation, and you can smell a padded estimate from across the room.
You can hold a firm, honest line with the business on what's achievable… and back it with reality, not excuses.
You can say no to people higher on the org chart.

This is a full-time permanent position with a competitive compensation and benefits package.

We're a benefits-administration company, but don't let that fool you: we treat software as a craft, not a cost centre.
The single most important part of your job is making workflow between teams, so nothing stalls.
