What You’ll Do

As an Engineering Manager, you will...:

• Mentor & Grow: Coach engineers to improve technically and professionally, creating a clear growth path.
• Set the Bar: Implement engineering best practices and raise the quality bar across code, architecture, and delivery.
• Transform Culture: Help transition the team from early-stage startup to an elite engineering organization with structure, pace, and intensity.
