Engineering Manager, Growth
About The Position
As the Engineering Manager for our Growth Pod, you will lead a full-stack product pod, reporting directly to Toby, our VP of Engineering. You will be accountable for both the health and growth of the team, and what it delivers. That means shaping an ambitious roadmap and directly driving the work to get there. The Growth Pod is staffed with four full-stack engineers, a PM, a designer, and a data scientist who all share the same mission and goals: delivering experiences to help our clients find Atticus and understand how we can help them in a moment of crisis. The team operates on a rapid experimentation cadence, constantly testing new ideas and making data-driven decisions about what works best. Engineering Managers at Atticus are hands-on leaders. In addition to owning your team’s roadmap, you’ll shape your team’s culture and processes, have an active hand in developing the careers of the people you manage, and be actively involved in the day to day technical work your team ships. EMs here aren’t typically our most senior technical contributors, but you should expect to be directly accountable for the quality of your team’s output and closely involved in coaching their technical work. That means staying close to the code; we want you reviewing PRs, weighing in on architecture, and diving into the details alongside your teammates when that's the right call.
