About the role

  • We're hiring an Engineering Manager to stand up and lead a brand-new Core Applications Platform team.
  • This team's customers are our internal product teams, and its mandate is to design, build, and own the shared, full-stack application capabilities that every product at Copia depends on; the kind of capabilities that should be solved once, well, and reused across many user types.
  • Reporting into the VP of Engineering, you will lead a group of full-stack software engineers and partner closely with the Product, Design, and other Engineering leaders whose teams rely on what you build.

Responsibilities

  • Build and lead the team.
  • Set the charter and direction. Partnering with Engineering leadership, Product, and Design, you will define the team's ownership boundaries and engagement models, translating high-level goals into a clear roadmap and well-scoped delivery milestones.
  • Drive the technical direction.
  • Own operational quality and how we work. You'll be responsible for on-call practices, incident response runbooks, and the engineering standards (from CI/CD to ADRs and testing) that empower every product team at Copia to move faster with higher confidence.
  • 5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience, with at least 1-2 years of formal or informal people-leadership experience (tech lead, team lead, or direct management).
  • A strong technical foundation across the stack - frontend, backend, APIs, and data - and the judgment to design shared application capabilities that other engineers will want to build on.
  • Demonstrated ability to coach engineers - helping them grow technically, take on bigger scope, and develop in their careers.

Requirements

  • You are kind to people and tough on problems.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience starting a new team from zero - defining charter, hiring the first engineers, and establishing how it works with the rest of the org.

Skills

  • incident response, on-call, ADRs, code review standards, or career ladders.
  • Background in B2B SaaS, developer tools, industrial automation, OT/IT, manufacturing software, or IoT.
  • About Copia Automation
  • Copia Automation is the first and only Git-powered platform built for industrial automation.
  • Copia is an equal opportunity employer.

Compensation

  • $172k-$226k

Company info

  • Treat internal product teams as your customers. You will seek to understand their pain points, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship reusable, well-documented capabilities while measuring their adoption and impact across the organization.
  • Sound judgment around prioritization, scope, and trade-offs, which includes knowing when to ship a focused MVP versus investing in the right foundation and when to say "no" or "not yet" to internal customers.
