We're leading the future of hybrid remote organizations by connecting teams with our intelligent workforce management and intelligence tools. As a high-growth, venture-backed startup with a world-changing mission, this is a rare opportunity to make a significant impact.

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Engineering Manager to lead our Integration Infrastructure team, who is equally adept at hands-on technical work and product management responsibilities. In this role, you will spend approximately 60% of your time on deeply technical engineering tasks—such as designing integration architectures, ensuring five-nines (99.999%) accuracy in data synchronizations, and implementing near real-time data flows—and 40% of your time on team leadership and product management, guiding engineers, planning roadmaps, and driving initiatives. If you're excited about building robust, scalable integration systems while also wearing the hat of a technical product manager, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Technical Leadership (60%):

  • Design and optimize the integration infrastructure to achieve 5-nines accuracy and near real-time synchronization between diverse systems.
  • Actively participate in coding, code reviews, and hands-on troubleshooting of complex integration challenges.
  • Lead architectural discussions focused on scaling data pipelines, distributed systems, and real-time processing frameworks.
  • Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions to proactively identify and address performance bottlenecks.
  • Advocate for and implement best practices in code quality, unit testing, and integration testing for long-term maintainability.
  • Drive continuous improvement in operational tasks through automation, ensuring consistent and reliable integration flows.
  • Guide incident response and ensure rapid remediation of reliability issues.

• Team Management & Product Management (40%):

  • Manage and mentor a small team of engineers, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and ownership.
  • Serve as the technical product manager for integration initiatives: define requirements, create roadmaps, and align with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and Agile ceremonies to ensure timely, high-quality delivery of integration features.
  • Oversee QA and reliability processes, encouraging automated testing and rigorous validation of integration points.
  • Set clear objectives, conduct performance reviews, and support professional growth opportunities for team members.
  • Act as a liaison between engineering, product, and business teams, ensuring integration infrastructure meets evolving business needs.

Requirements:

• Education & Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
  • 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with scalable, highly reliable systems, ideally in data integration or similar domains.
  • Demonstrated track record of designing and building infrastructure that supports near real-time data synchronization.
  • Previous experience managing or mentoring small engineering teams.
  • Experience acting as a technical PM or closely collaborating with product functions.

• Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency in at least one of the following languages: Ruby, Python, or TypeScript.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, data pipelines, and real-time data processing frameworks.
  • Expertise in monitoring, observability, and automation best practices.
  • Passion for reliability engineering, uptime, and ensuring seamless data flows across multiple systems.

• Personal Attributes:

  • Excellent problem-solving abilities and meticulous attention to detail.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to translate complex technical requirements into actionable roadmaps.
  • Ability to navigate trade-offs between technical complexity and business impact.
  • Committed to building maintainable, efficient, and clean integration solutions.
  • Previous colleagues would readily trust you to lead mission-critical projects.

Benefits:

• Equity & Compensation: Competitive salary with meaningful stock options in a high-growth startup.
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• Work-Life Balance: Flexible remote work environment with generous vacation and leave policies.
• Culture & Community:
  • Fun and inclusive culture with team events and happy hours.
  • Opportunity to work with a team of dedicated, friendly professionals committed to making a difference.
