EngineeringEngineering Manager

We're hiring an experienced Engineering Manager to lead Recast’s Apps & API team: the engineers who own the customer-facing surface of Recast's marketing mix modeling platform. That includes our flagship MMM application, agentic apps, public APIs, and MCP server. You’ll build and lead a high-performing team while staying close to the technical work through architecture decisions and the occasional PR review.

What you might do in your first 6 months:

Grow and lead a team of 4-7 direct reports: dig in and understand their work, their goals, and what’s in their way
Establish team norms and a working culture that sets people up to do their best work with clear expectations and honest feedback
Improve how the team works: drive clarity on priorities, healthier processes, better cross-functional handoffs
Own the team’s execution roadmap and delivery: scope and sequence work, unblocking your team early and often
Partner with Product to align your team’s priorities and goals with the overall Product roadmap and initiatives
Help shape and ship our MCP server from early-stage to production-grade
Drive a public API strategy that prioritizes reliability and developer experience
Support and strengthen the delivery team behind our web application and agentic apps

Things you have experience in:

Managing a team of globally-distributed software engineers - mentoring, coaching, and occasionally having the hard conversations
Staying technical enough to be useful in architecture discussions and code reviews without being the bottleneck
Translating ambiguous product goals into concrete engineering deliverables
Shipping in a fast-paced SaaS environment where "good enough to learn from" beats "perfect but late"
A strong technical background in web and API development (our app stack is Ruby on Rails, with Rails & Python APIs)
Designing and shipping production APIs with real external consumers - you think about DevEx, versioning and reliability as much as you think about feature delivery

Things that should excite you that might scare off other folks:

Owning the full customer-facing surface of a product with technical users: your users are developers, marketing analysts and data scientists - they notice when something isn’t right
Building with emerging tech like MCP and agentic AI: you’re willing to make opinionated architectural bets in a landscape that is continually evolving
Helping shape what “effective” looks like for an AI-native engineering team: defining the tools, guardrails, and standards that actually help us go faster
Managing a remote, async-first team spread across time zones where clear written communication is essential
Growing a team that's medium-sized today but won't stay that way forever
