AI Engineering Manager

Who are we?

At Bright, we build software that accountants, payroll professionals, and practice managers rely on every day. Our engineering teams are shipping AI-powered features into production right now, not experimenting, not planning, building. 
 
We're brilliant people creating brilliant software! Join us in our mission to create brilliant software that empowers businesses to reach new heights. 

You’ll lead three engineering squads building AI-first features into our SaaS products. This means owning both the people and the projects: coaching engineers, running delivery, and making sure the technical direction is sound. Your teams include fast-moving, highly skilled developers who are deep in AI. You need to be a credible technical partner to them, not just a process manager who delegates the hard questions.

This role sits at the intersection of hands-on technical leadership and people management. You’ll be reviewing architectural decisions, challenging implementation choices, and pushing AI-first thinking across development and QA workflows while also running 1:1s, growing careers, and keeping delivery on track.
