How we work
We work in a matrix organization with high degrees of trust and autonomy. We strongly believe in servant leadership and shared accountability. Engineering managers work as peers in a leadership team while managing individual contributors across product teams. Each engineer has both product-team relationships and a manager relationship. To learn more about our way of working, read through our tech and product core beliefs.
Responsibilities
As an Engineering Manager, you will develop engineers across the organization while remaining a strong hands-on contributor. You will split your time between people leadership and product development.
People leadership
Own career development and growth for your engineers. Understand each engineer's strengths, development areas, and aspirations
Conduct regular one-on-ones, feedback cycles, and coaching conversations
Participate in hiring and onboarding of engineers. Ensure smooth integration into the organization and their product teams
Remove blockers and advocate for your engineers to ensure they have what they need to succeed
Work with product leads and peer managers to support team health and development
Hans-On engineering
Contribute by coding and being a member of the team
Partner with your engineers on technical problems and decisions
Model high standards for code quality, communication, and problem-solving
Work through technical trade-offs alongside your engineers, contributing your own perspective as a peer contributor
Desired profile
Combines strong technical judgment with genuine interest in growing people
Operates with clarity in ambiguous situations and is comfortable handling competing priorities
Recognized as a skilled engineer who writes and ships code regularly
Brings others along through mentoring, enabling, and fostering growth
Experience managing individual contributors across multiple contexts or product areas
Collaborates effectively with peers, product leads, and across the organization
Comfortable developing engineers who work in different teams and on different projects
Motivated by our mission and focused on delivering meaningful impact at scale
Where you might see yourself
Your own hands-on engineering background likely looks like one of the following
You get your energy from building the foundations other people rely on, pulling systems apart into simple, observable pieces, owning something in production long enough to feel responsible for it, and reaching for the boring, reliable option before building something new.
You're drawn to problems where the math is the hard part, geometry, simulation, optimization, and you like taking a model from "this is the theory" to something that runs reliably on real inputs and matches what users expect to see.
You start from the user and the problem, not the ticket. You are comfortable with a fuzzy brief and a blank repo, shipping fast to learn, and shaping what gets built as much as how it gets built.
What will help you suceed in this role
Strong hands-on engineering background building cloud-based, user-facing systems
Experience in an engineering manager, team lead, or similar people-leadership role
Genuine interest in developing people and creating environments where they grow
Comfort with matrix or dotted-line structures where you manage people who work across different teams
Proven ability to balance hands-on technical contribution with people leadership
Strong communication skills, especially in one-on-one coaching and feedback conversations
Experience with Agentic AI
You might also bring
Experience with TypeScript, serverless architectures and AWS
Background in large-scale systems or platform development
Experience working in cross-functional, international product teams
Track record of mentoring and developing engineers into stronger contributors
Experience with 3D graphics, WebGL/WebGPU, or real-time rendering in the browser
Experience with computational geometry, spatial algorithms, or CAD/BIM data models
Why join us
Develop engineers across the organization while staying technical. Roughly 70% of your time spent on hands-on product development
Build and grow a talented group of engineers. See them succeed and advance in their careers
Influence the organization through people leadership and technical mentorship
Direct impact on real-world problems with measurable environmental impact
Work with experienced engineers across the organization in a mission-driven culture
Competitive compensation, pension, and benefits

We encourage you to apply even if your experience does not match every requirement listed. Curiosity, empathy, and a growth mindset matter just as much to us.
