The role

This company is building the CRM for the AI era. They're focused on real-time infrastructure and an AI-native architecture, with a frontend their engineers genuinely obsess over. Backed by significant Series B funding from leading investors, they're scaling fast and tackling a fundamental shift in how businesses operate.

This isn't a typical Engineering Manager role. You'll lead a focused team of 3-5 engineers, owning a critical product area end-to-end. But the split is 70% hands-on coding, 30% leadership. This is for EMs who want to stay deep in the code, not just manage, and who thrive in a structure built around that belief.

The work

• Ship code across the stack (backend in TypeScript/Node.js or Go, or frontend in React) most days.
• Own a critical product area end-to-end, from design to deployment and iteration.
• Recruit, mentor, and develop a focused team of 3-5 engineers.
• Drive architectural evolution for a real-time, AI-native platform as the company scales.
• Translate customer interactions into product decisions, ensuring impact.

What You Bring

• Proven experience leading a small engineering team (3-5 people), while remaining deeply hands-on and capable of owning a feature end-to-end.
• Deep expertise in either modern backend (Go, TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Rust, C++) or frontend (React) system design, with a track record of building secure, scalable, reliable systems.
• Strong command of modern cloud architecture (GCP or AWS), able to articulate and defend technical tradeoffs.
• Ability to influence technical and product decisions across engineering, design, and executive teams without relying on authority.
