Real estate development is a multi‑billion‑dollar industry that has run on fragmented data, manual processes, and gut instinct for decades. Prophetic is changing that. We’re building the AI‑native platform that enables homebuilders, developers, and investors to find, analyze, and act on land opportunities from a single system — powered by proprietary technologies that process billions of data points across all 50 states.

We are the market leader in our space, and our customers don’t just use the product — they love it. We’re not making teams more efficient. We’re changing how they operate.

Prophetic is scaling fast — demand is outpacing our ability to hire, and we’re just getting started. This is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime team: sharp, low ego, deeply collaborative, and obsessed with building the best product in the industry. Come disrupt an industry with us.

Prophetic’s engineering team has scaled rapidly — from a small founding group to a growing organization of full stack engineers, research engineers, GIS engineers, mobile developers, and data specialists. Our CTO has been directly managing the team, but as we grow, we need an Engineering Manager to own the day‑to‑day leadership of the platform engineering team.

You’ll manage a team of senior and mid‑level full stack engineers building across our core products — Search

AI, ZoneAI, SiteAI, Dev Map, and Deal Desk. Your job is to make the team more effective: running sprint cadences, removing blockers, conducting 1:1s, managing performance, coordinating cross‑functional work with Product, and ensuring code quality and velocity stay high as we scale.

This is a hands‑on leadership role. You should be technical enough to participate in architecture discussions, review PRs, and understand the codebase — but your primary impact will come from making the engineers around you better. You’ll partner closely with the CTO on hiring, team structure, and engineering culture. You’ll also work with our Head of Product to ensure engineering priorities align with the product roadmap and customer needs.

Our stack is Python/Django on the backend and Type Script/React on the frontend, backed by Postgres with PostGIS for geospatial data, running on Google Cloud. The team uses AI tooling daily — Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot are standard. We ship features every two to three weeks and our customers make million‑dollar decisions on the platform, so quality and reliability matter as much as speed.

• Manage a team of full stack engineers — running 1:1s, performance reviews, career development conversations, and day‑to‑day team operations.
• Own sprint planning, standup cadences, and retrospectives. Ensure work is well‑scoped, engineers are unblocked, and commitments are met.
• Partner with the Head of Product to translate roadmap priorities into engineering work — scoping, sequencing, and staffing projects effectively.
• Drive engineering quality through code review processes, testing standards, and architecture discussions.
• Recruit, interview, and onboard new engineers as the team continues to scale.
• Manage cross‑functional coordination between engineering, product, design, and customer‑facing teams.
• Build and improve engineering processes that support velocity without sacrificing quality — CI/CD, incident response, on‑call rotation, and documentation standards.
• Identify and address team health issues early — burnout, skill gaps, communication breakdowns, and capacity constraints.
• Report on team velocity, delivery, and health to the CTO and leadership team.
• Foster a culture of ownership, direct communication, and continuous improvement.

• 5+ years of software engineering experience and 2+ years of engineering management experience.
• Track record of managing teams of 5–15 engineers in fast‑paced, high‑growth…
