WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We're building engineering teams for an AI-augmented world, and our operating model is designed for speed, flexibility, and scale. Rather than organizing around permanent project teams, we maintain lean, stable coverage teams and assemble focused project teams to accelerate strategic initiatives and business outcomes.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, you own a coverage team: the people, their growth, the health of the systems they support, and the operational stability that enables rapid execution across multiple concurrent workstreams. You are responsible for building a high-performing organization through strong coaching, resource planning, accountability, and continuous improvement while leveraging AI and modern engineering tools to improve team productivity, decision-making, and delivery effectiveness.

This role requires a strategic, data-driven leader who can operate independently, solve complex problems, adapt to evolving business priorities, and collaborate effectively across Engineering, Product, and cross-functional teams. Success is measured not only by delivery outcomes, but by your ability to develop talent, scale operational excellence, and create an environment where teams consistently deliver measurable impact.

YOUR DAY TO DAY

• Own a stable coverage team responsible for a defined engineering domain, including system health, incident response, and incremental improvements

• Manage staffing strategy for your team: hiring, retention, skills development, and allocation decisions when engineers move onto short-lived project teams

• Serve as subject matter expert across initiatives in your domain; the person the Director pulls in when a project team needs a technical gut-check or a stakeholder needs a credible voice

• Lead people development through 1:1s, performance management, career growth conversations, and coaching

• Champion AI tooling adoption across your team; we don't approve headcount for teams that haven't demonstrated AI leverage

• Deliver weekly throughput reporting and signal-dense status updates that allow leadership to move fast without needing to ask

• Partner closely
