About the role

Engineering Manager focused on People & Delivery to help scale Granola's engineering team while maintaining fast shipping cadence. Not a traditional manager or hands-on technical lead; acts as the operational engine and talent multiplier for the engineering team.

Responsibilities

  • People & Coaching: Conduct regular 1:1s, provide direct actionable feedback, and help engineers navigate career growth, performance, and skill development in a fast-paced startup setting.
  • Delivery & Execution: Own squad momentum and delivery rhythm. Work closely with product and design to break down projects, manage trade-offs, remove friction, and keep shipping cycles fast and predictable.
  • Process & Pragmatism: Implement "just enough" process to keep teams aligned and unblocked, explicitly avoiding bureaucracy or rigid framework overhead.
  • Team Health & Culture: Build an environment of high accountability, trust, and autonomy. Keep morale high and foster a culture of craftsmanship and ownership.
  • Hiring & Scaling: Partner closely with Talent and Leadership to recruit, interview, and onboard high-bar engineering talent as we scale the team.

Qualifications

  • Track Record in Management: 2+ years of experience managing engineering teams in fast-moving, high-bar product startups or tech companies.
  • Delivery Mastery: Strong instinct for execution. Ability to scope down features, spot bottlenecks, and maintain delivery quality.
  • People-First Mindset: Passion for developing people, active listening, and empowering engineers to do their best work.
  • Technical Context: Background as a software engineer (or strong technical foundation) to understand architectural trade-offs and engage in high-signal conversations.
  • Low-Ego & Scrappy: Comfortable navigating ambiguity, hands-on with operational tasks, and adapting to changing product priorities.
