About The Position

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the day-to-day of our engineering team. This is a pure people-management role - not a player-coach position. Your success is measured by your team's delivery and growth, not your own code output. You'll own work assignment, unblocking, and delivery tracking across in-house and partner engineers, act as the technical arm of our product team, and operate as the number two to our head of engineering.

Requirements

• 6+ years in software engineering, including 3+ years directly managing engineers
• A deliberate choice of the management track—you find your leverage in people, process, and clarity
• Experience managing distributed teams, including offshore or partner/vendor engineers across timezones
• Enough technical depth to pressure-test technical direction and sign off on scoping in a TypeScript/Python stack
• Fluency with modern delivery tooling (Linear or similar) and Kanban-style flow
• A strong track record partnering with product managers to turn requirements into well-scoped, buildable work
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and how they change team workflows
• Excellent written communication—your tickets, feedback, and updates create clarity

Nice To Haves

• Prop tech or real estate background
• Experience managing a mix of in-house and agency/vendor teams
• Prior experience as a tech lead before moving into management
• A people manager by choice - you get energy from unblocking others, not from being the hero contributor
• Calm and organized - nothing falls through the cracks on your watch
• High agency - you don't wait for permission or detailed instructions; you figure things out and drive forward
• Adaptive - you manage each engineer as an individual, adjusting for capacity, style, and timezone

Responsibilities

• Manage the day-to-day work of engineers across internal and partner team -assigning work, unblocking, and tracking delivery
• Own the ticket assignment process in Linear: route clear work directly, keep the queue stocked with fully scoped tickets, and escalate larger project fit to engineering leadership
• Act as the technical arm of the product team: take product direction from PMs, shape technical direction with engineers, and sign off before work begins
• Balance workloads to individual capacity and working styles, including engineers working across timezones
• Run 1:1s, give performance feedback, and build growth plans for your engineers
• Coordinate delivery across separate teams while managing shared workstreams like bug fixes
• Partner with engineering leadership on hiring, process, and team structure
• Champion spec-driven development and AI-assisted engineering practices across the team
• The company reserves the right to add or change duties at any time.
