About the role

Engineering Manager leading the development of new product lines from hypothesis to pilot to commercial launch, with ownership of both people leadership and technical execution for products that don’t exist yet.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow an engineering team shipping new product lines from zero to commercial launch, raising the bar for ownership, quality, and execution speed
  • Build strong engineering culture through clear expectations, 1:1s, feedback loops, and career development
  • Partner with Product Lead, New Products to translate an unvalidated market hypothesis into a technical architecture that can be built and tested quickly
  • Make fast, pragmatic build-vs-buy and scope calls that let the team test a new product cheaply before over-investing in it

  • Improve system reliability, observability, and engineering efficiency as a new product moves from pilot to scale
  • Play a key role in hiring and developing engineers who are energized by 0-to-1 ambiguity, and future leaders on the team

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in software engineering, including 1+ year in engineering leadership
  • Direct experience shipping a 0-to-1 product or system in a startup or high-growth environment, ideally through to commercial launch
  • Strong system design and architecture fundamentals, with judgment to balance speed of learning and durability
  • Ability to lead through ambiguity and turn an incomplete spec into structured execution
  • Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • High standards for engineering quality, reliability, and performance under tight timelines
  • Deep technical fluency: comfortable with code review, architecture, and tradeoffs
