Software Engineering Manager

As a Software Engineering Manager, you’ll combine hands-on software development with engineering leadership in a fast-moving, globally distributed startup. You’ll initially dedicate at least one-third of your time to coding and delivering new product capabilities. As the team grows, you’ll increasingly partner with the CTO to strengthen engineering practices, team structure, and delivery processes. You’ll support engineers through regular one-to-ones, technical guidance, code reviews, and removing delivery blockers. The role also includes helping build the engineering team through hiring and technical interviews. You’ll work across the full product lifecycle, from research and planning through implementation and monitoring. This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership while helping shape both the technology and the engineering culture.

• At least 1 year of experience as an Engineering Manager, ideally within a startup and remote engineering environment.

• Demonstrated ability to combine hands-on software development with people and engineering management responsibilities.

• Experience working effectively with distributed teams in a remote environment.

• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, from research and planning through implementation, release, and monitoring.

• Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to balance coding, leadership, communication, and team responsibilities.

• Fluency in written English is required; strong spoken English is also advantageous.

• Ability to participate in recurring team meetings on Mondays and Fridays at 2:30 PM GMT.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities can evolve and the engineering organization is continuing to scale.
