Engineering Manager

Are you an experienced engineering leader who's not afraid to take upon a great challenge? Do you have previous experience building complex B2B SaaS products?

Then why not join our mission of building a one-of-a-kind product management system that is already used by 3000+ global companies!

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to help us build a new development center in Vancouver. You will have a chance to help us create a foundation for our teams in Canada and select the very best people for your team as well as setting up an effective collaboration with San Francisco and Prague.

On a typical day, you will …

• Ensure goals and objectives for the team are clearly defined and engineers can participate in the product discovery phase
• Coach and mentor your engineers, showing them the next steps in their careers
• Together with the CTO, Director, and other EMs you will discuss, define and implement processes to support a growing team (feedback, growth, team organization, delivery process)
• Maintain a healthy, collaborative culture in line with the company values as we navigate through hyper-growth
• Be actively involved in hiring engineers for your team, making sure it’s well-staffed
• Personally being the strongest engineer in the team is not your end goal, your main focus is to have a multiplying effect on the team's output
• Get a better idea of our vision of the role, read the “Role of Management” in the article about Empowered Product Teams from Marty Cagan

• A strong technical background, ideally building complex B2B SaaS products
• An experience with product-led growth is preferable
• An experience with A/B testing
• A proven track record of substantially impacting the development of complex or fast-growing systems
• Understanding DevOps as culture not as a role
• Proven track record leading development in product team
• The ability to align people behind a common goal. You can explain and materialize the objectives of the team
• You are direct but careful with feedback, both given and received. We embrace the approach of Radical Candor
• Fluency in English — our team consists of 28+ nationalities.

You can look forward to the following benefits:

💰 Competitive compensation, stock options
