About The Position

LumApps is building an AI-powered Employee Hub that integrates communication, collaboration, and engagement. The Action Team is responsible for Forms, Tasks, and Workflows, which are the core components for organizations to digitize processes, route work, and automate tasks. This is a high-impact, high-visibility area that sits at the intersection of platform engineering, product strategy, and people leadership. The Engineering Manager – Action Team will lead, grow, and empower a high-performing engineering team, co-owning the technical and product vision for these automation building blocks. The role requires ensuring the team builds reliable, scalable, and intelligent tools that customers depend on for their daily operations. The ideal candidate will establish Forms, Tasks, and Workflows as reliable, scalable building blocks, ensure permission and access-control capabilities scale safely, build and sustain a high-performing team, drive clear technical and architectural direction, improve delivery predictability and quality, strengthen cross-team collaboration, drive AI adoption in engineering practices and the product, and deepen integration with the broader LumApps platform.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager or similar leadership role.
• Experience leading platform, product, or operations/automation-focused teams.
• Strong understanding of modern software architecture and distributed systems.
• Ability to reason about APIs, platforms, developer experience, and scalability.
• Comfortable engaging deeply in technical discussions without being a full-time IC.
• Strong people management skills with a coaching mindset.
• Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working closely with Product Managers and Designers.
• Ability to influence beyond direct authority.
• Leads with a servant-leadership mindset - removes blockers, trusts and empowers the team to make good decisions, and measures success by team outcomes rather than personal authority.
• Comfortable with agile ways of working - adapts process to what the team actually needs rather than enforcing ceremony for its own sake.
• Strong product orientation, with a deep understanding of our end-users and how they actually work.
• Curious about AI-powered systems and eager to shape their practical adoption.
• Pragmatic - favors practical, incremental progress over perfect solutions, and knows when "good enough" is the right call.
• Comfortable operating in a changing, post-merger environment.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Business Process Engine (BPE)/workflow/automation engines or permission and access-control systems.
• Exposure to AI-enabled workflows or agent-based systems.
• Experience in SaaS environments with large-scale deployments.
• Previous work in multi-team or platform organizations.

Responsibilities

• Directly manage and support a team of engineers.
• Create an environment of trust, ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Run performance cycles, feedback, and individual development plans.
• Coach engineers on both technical growth and impact-oriented thinking.
• Own the technical vision and architecture of the Forms/Tasks/Workflows platform.
• Ensure the platform is secure, scalable, observable, and maintainable.
• Guide technical decision-making while remaining hands-on enough to deep dive when needed.
• Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform sustainability.
• Co-drive the Forms/Tasks/Workflows vision in close partnership with Product and PX.
• Translate product strategy into a clear technical roadmap.
• Act as a thought partner on how workflow automation and AI capabilities evolve together.
• Align priorities across multiple stakeholders and dependent teams.
• Think beyond Action's own scope - actively identify and pursue opportunities to connect Forms/Tasks/Workflows with other products in the platform as it grows.
• Ensure high-quality delivery of features and platform capabilities.
• Continuously improve engineering processes, delivery flow, and operational excellence.
• Anticipate risks and dependencies, proactively addressing them.
• Serve as a reference point for operational workflow automation across the company.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams and platform initiatives to ensure coherence.
• Support adoption of Forms, Tasks, and Workflows capabilities by internal teams and partners.
• Champion the practical adoption of AI tools and agents within the team's own engineering workflow - development, testing, and design.
• Identify where AI can lower the technical entry point for end users, so that non-technical users can create their own automations more easily (e.g., natural-language-driven workflow, form, or task creation).
• Balance AI-driven productivity gains with the team's technical and quality standards - accelerate the team without replacing sound engineering judgment.
