Engineering Manager

Bubble•New York, NY

19d•$200,000 - $258,000•Remote

About The Position

As an Engineering Manager on the Developer Experience Pod, you’ll lead a team focused on improving how engineers build, test, ship, and monitor code at Bubble. You’ll take ownership of complex initiatives—from technical design through execution— ensuring they deliver measurable improvements to developer velocity, performance, or satisfaction. You’ll work closely with your pod to prioritize initiatives, and collaborate with other teams to roll out changes that scale beyond the pod itself. This is a hands-on role; you should be comfortable weighing in on architecture, reviewing PRs, and as time permits, contributing code yourself.

Requirements

8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years of engineering management experience
Strong proficiency across the stack, from the frontend through infrastructure
Experience with developer tooling — build systems, bundlers, testing frameworks, package managers, and CI/CD pipelines — and a passion for improving how engineers work day to day
Experience utilizing AI tooling to accelerate development workflows, and a critical perspective on how to integrate these tools safely and effectively.
Experience organizing and leading multiple projects, ensuring alignment, execution, and measurable outcomes
Strong problem-solving skills, balancing pragmatic short-term improvements with strategic, scalable solutions
Adaptable and curious — you proactively identify inefficiencies, dig into root causes, and design solutions that scale beyond your own team
