About the Job
The company is scaling fast and its engineering team has grown organically - lots of talented people working on a lot of different things. This role exists to turn that into a cohesive, scalable, high-throughput organization. Reporting to the VP of Engineering (who owns architecture and technical vision), the Engineering Manager owns execution, delivery, and people management for a globally distributed team of ~10 engineers. It is a ~90% people-management role - not a player-coach. The mandate: hold a high quality bar, set firm timelines, remove roadblocks, and give engineers the support to hit deadlines - while keeping the culture kind and caring.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery: break down the roadmap, own sprint commitments and release cycles, drive daily momentum acrosstime zones.
- Move the team from "everyone doing their own thing" to a scalable, high-throughput org with clear process.
- Manage and grow ~10 distributed engineers (US, Canada, EU, UK, China) - 1:1s, performance expectations, coaching.
- Remove roadblocks and interface with other teams so engineering has what it needs to move quickly.
- Hold a high bar: address underperformance directly (PIP and support first, exit if needed) while keeping morale high.
- Own incident management and sustainable, distributed on-call; track and improve delivery metrics (DORA)
Minimum Qualifications
- 2+ years directly managing software engineering teams (~10 engineers), with a track record running distributed, asynchronous teams.
- Strong technical grounding - can run code reviews, understand modern cloud workflows, and challenge estimates (not coding day-to-day).
- Proven experience raising delivery throughput and installing scalable process in a high-growth environment.
- Experience owning incident response / on-call and delivery metrics (DORA or similar).
- Willing and able to manage out low performers fairly (PIP first) while holding a high-performance bar
Preferred Requirement
- Hybrid background: big-company rigor (e.g. Google/Meta/Salesforce-style process) plus rapid-growth startupexperience.
- Domain exposure to logistics, supply chain, or e-commerce
Benefits
- Benefits/Other: Fully remote; six core values incl. "kind and caring."
- Must overlap ~6 hours with US Eastern (roughly 9am-4pm ET)
