About the role

This is a hands-on engineering management role.
What you'll be doing - Leading and growing engineers.
Structuring the team so the right people are in the right roles, placing your strongest technical contributors where they'll have the most impact, and helping everyone advance their careers. - Staying hands-on technically.

Responsibilities

Hiring, coaching, and developing a team of full-stack engineers.
Reviewing code, understanding the systems your team owns, and jumping into the codebase when it helps unblock the team or sharpen your judgment.
Removing obstacles. Embracing "all problems are my problem." When your team or XFN partners hit a blocker, you help them get unstuck - whether that means escalating, re-scoping, having a hard conversation, or rolling up your sleeves and writing code.
Working with game studio partners. Understanding their needs, answering technical questions, and improving the tools and APIs we build for them - just like the rest of the team.
Collaborating across Discord. Partnering with product, design, data science, and other engineering teams to cut through ambiguity, design shared commerce primitives, and shape a product where the playbook is still being written.
5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time as a hands-on IC building production systems.
2+ years of engineering management or technical leadership experience (including tech leads and team leads who've been managing people and projects without the formal EM title) on user-facing products.
A product sense that goes beyond management. You'll be collaborating with PMs and designers daily, and we need someone who can push back, suggest alternatives, and help shape what we build - not just execute on a spec.
A track record of growing engineers - finding high-leverage roles for people, developing new skills, and providing direct, actionable feedback that makes people better.
An ownership mentality. You resolve blockers for your team and XFN partners, drive decisions, and hold yourself accountable for the team's results.
