Engineering Manager

Role overview

Lead a distributed engineering organization as a dedicated people manager for a high-visibility real estate media and brokerage platform. This is a pure management role focused on team delivery and growth rather than individual code output, partnering closely with product leadership and serving as the number two to the head of engineering.

Responsibilities

- Own day-to-day delivery for a mix of in-house and partner engineers, including work assignment, ticket queue management, unblocking, and delivery tracking. - Operate as the technical arm of the product team, translating PM direction into well-scoped tickets and signing off on technical scoping before work begins. - Balance workloads across individuals, working styles, and timezones, and coordinate shared workstreams like bug fixes across separate teams. - Run one-on-ones, give performance feedback, and build growth plans for direct reports. - Partner with engineering leadership on hiring decisions, process improvements, and team structure. - Champion spec-driven development and the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices across the team.

Requirements

- Six or more years in software engineering, with at least three years directly managing engineers. - Deliberate commitment to the management track, with leverage coming from people, process, and clarity rather than personal technical output. - Hands-on experience managing distributed teams, including offshore or vendor engineers across timezones. - Enough technical depth to pressure-test direction and sign off on scoping in a TypeScript and Python stack backed by Postgres, ClickHouse, and event-driven infrastructure on Azure. - Fluency with modern delivery tooling such as Linear and Kanban-style flow. - Strong written communication skills, with tickets, feedback, and updates that consistently create clarity. - Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and how they reshape team workflows.

Nice to have

- Background in prop tech or real estate. - Experience managing a blend of in-house and agency or vendor teams. - Prior tenure as a tech lead before transitioning into management.

Benefits and work setup

- Remote role for candidates based in the United States, with occasional travel to additional offices or offsites as agreed with the manager. - No visa sponsorship is available, so candidates must already be authorized to work in the US.
