Product Engineering Manager

Responsibilities

• Own pod execution end-to-end — sprint planning, retros, delivery tracking, and a clear narrative of what the team committed to, delivered, and learned
• Co‑own the Growth roadmap with your PM — shape scope, push back on priorities, and drive trade‑off conversations as equals
• Ship features across the stack — Type Script front‑end and back‑end (React Native, NextJS, NestJS, GraphQL)
• Set technical direction — make credible architecture calls, propose tooling improvements, and raise the craft bar for the pod
• Build the team’s capacity — structured growth conversations, stretch assignments, and delegation that lets the pod run well when you’re not in the room
• Surface problems before they’re discovered — maintain a living tracker of commitments tied to business goals; flag risks with a recommendation, not just an alert

• 6+ years of application engineering experience with depth in Type Script and React
• 2+ years of technical leadership experience (engineering management strongly preferred; tech lead considered for exceptional candidates)
• Startup veteran — you’ve worked at a Series B or earlier company; zero‑to‑one experience is a strong plus
• Business‑informed prioritization instincts — you connect engineering decisions to growth metrics and company strategy, not just technical elegance
• Backend proficiency alongside front‑end strength — you can own architectural decisions across the full stack
• Willingness to contribute as an IC during onboarding and ongoing
