About the role

Experienced Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers, shape product decisions and technical strategy, and scale the team at WorkOS.

Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish
Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds
Take raw ideas and turn them into working systems, even if you have to duct tape the first version
Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed
Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out
Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related to the product areas your team owns
Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft
Coach, mentor, and build a team of curious, scrappy, driven engineers—people who want to grow fast and build great things

Track record of having successfully led product-focused engineering teams in high-performing organizations that shipped real impact
You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back
Bias for action and scrappiness: You don’t over-optimize for process. You optimize for velocity, customer value, and learning
You deeply care about the developer experience. You think about UX, APIs, performance, edge cases, and joy
You ask "why" obsessively, and you push yourself (and your team) to learn constantly
You build trust, give direct feedback, and create space for engineers to thrive
You have experience partnering with internal recruiting teams to drive effective and fair hiring processes. You realize that recruiting is a large (and important!) part of your role. A track record of recruiting, hiring, and mentoring top engineering talent.
