Engineering Manager (Remote - US CT/ET)

Role overview

Lead and grow an engineering team supporting a platform that helps schools fill staffing needs and educators find work. As the first engineering manager in the US, you will shape team practices, partner closely with product and technology leaders, and help the organization scale while keeping engineering focused on real user outcomes.

Responsibilities - Hire, develop, and support engineers, building a sustainable team as demand grows. - Coach team members through regular conversations, feedback, performance cycles, and career development. - Work with product and design colleagues to understand problems, deliver useful changes quickly, and iterate based on outcomes. - Help establish shared expectations for engineering quality, team health, and effective collaboration across locations. - Identify opportunities to use automation and scalable systems to reduce operational overhead. - Build relationships across teams working in the US, UK, and Europe.

Requirements - Experience managing or leading software engineers, including growing people and supporting team performance. - Product-oriented judgment: the ability to start from user or business needs, make tradeoffs, and deliver iteratively. - Strong communication and relationship-building skills across disciplines and geographies. - Adaptability, curiosity, and ownership of problems from discovery through implementation. - Ability to foster sustainable team practices and shared learning rather than relying on individual heroics.
