About the role

Engineering Manager leading three product engineering teams within Emi Labs' Recruitment Product organization, partnering with Product to shape the roadmap, driving people management, delivery, and adoption of AI-native practices in a hybrid, contractor-based role.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow small product engineering teams, owning people management end to end: 1:1s, feedback, performance, and career development for every engineer.
  • Partner closely with Product to translate priorities into roadmap and execution, and represent your teams' constraints and trade-offs back to stakeholders.
  • Coordinate dependencies and unblock work across your teams and the rest of Engineering.
  • Actively surface knowledge concentration and technical debt within your teams, and drive them to resolution, partnering with tech leads and architects on the hardest technical calls.
  • Own hiring for your teams end-to-end, from defining needs against the roadmap to closing offers.
  • Champion a data-driven engineering culture, establishing key metrics for delivery, quality, and team health, and using them to guide prioritization and decisions.
  • Drive adoption of AI tools across your teams: use them yourself to increase your own leverage, and help your engineers build AI-native habits into their day-to-day work.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience leading engineering teams, with a proven record of building and growing high-performing teams
  • Experience managing multiple teams or workstreams at once
  • Comfortable partnering with senior tech leads and architects without needing to be the deepest technical expert yourself
  • Strong product sense and ability to partner with business stakeholders and manage up
  • Track record of growing engineers' careers through direct, actionable feedback and real development plans
  • Using AI tools as a core part of your work
  • Default to data over anecdote: comfortable defining, tracking, and acting on metrics to prioritize, evaluate team health, and make calls.
