Engineering Manager: Delivery Leader & Tech Coach

Who we are

Pheed Loop powers live events around the world. From intimate campus summits to major trade shows, we give organizers the tools to run smarter, more connected events – check-in kiosks, badge printing, mobile apps, and engagement tools that work together as a single ecosystem.

We’re not building software people use by obligation. Event organizers choose Pheed Loop because it works when it matters most; that bar pushes us to build better every day.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to execute someone else’s vision. It’s for someone who wants to help build it. You’ll work side by side with Pheed Loop’s founders and leadership team, not through a chain of managers, but directly. Your technical decisions will shape the product, the team, and the company’s next chapter.

• You talk to real customers. No proxy PMs filtering feedback. You’ll hear directly from organizers and ship things that fix real problems fast.
• Your code goes live in days, not quarters. We move at startup speed with the customer base to prove it.
• You own the whole problem, from database model to the pixel an organizer taps on the day of their event that’s yours.
• You’ll help shape the team. This is a role with genuine mentorship responsibility: influencing how we hire, what our standards look like, and how we grow.

• Lead and grow a high‑performing engineering team, creating a culture of ownership, speed, collaboration, and technical excellence.
• Coach, mentor, and develop engineers so they do the best work of their careers while raising the bar across the team.
• Stay hands‑on in the codebase, contributing across our full stack using Python / Django and Type Script / React.
• Architect and scale reliable systems that power mission‑critical experiences for customers around the world.
• Guide the team in building fast, secure, and scalable APIs, services, and integrations.
• Turn ambitious product ideas into shipped reality by aligning engineering execution with business priorities.
• Lead technical planning, architecture reviews, and smart engineering decisions that set us up for long‑term success.
• Drive releases to AWS, improve CI/CD pipelines, and help the team ship faster with confidence.
• Partner closely with Product, Customer Success, Sales, and Leadership to solve real customer problems with great software.
• Improve engineering processes, coding standards, testing practices, and technical documentation across the organization.
• Identify opportunities to leverage AI, automation, and modern tools to multiply team output and product quality.
• Represent engineering as a trusted voice across the company and with strategic external partners.

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years leading teams, mentoring engineers, or managing delivery.
• Strong people leadership skills; you know how to motivate, coach, hire, and build trust within a team.
• Proven ability to balance management responsibilities while staying technically sharp and hands‑on when needed.
• Strong backend experience with Python / Django or similar frameworks building production‑grade systems.
• Strong frontend experience with React, modern JavaScript frameworks, and scalable UI architecture.

• Experience with AWS, cloud infrastructure, deployments, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong API and integration experience, including third‑party systems and distributed workflows.
• Solid database knowledge across SQL, ORMs, schema design, and performance optimization.
• High standards for clean code, maintainability, testing, and long‑term technical health.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify technical topics for non‑technical stakeholders.
• Strong product instincts – you understand business goals, customer pain points, and how engineering drives outcomes.
• Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced environment where priorities shift, speed matters, and ownership is expected.
• Curious, forward‑thinking, and excited about AI, automation, and the future of software development.
