About the role 💭 We’re hiring an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a team of product engineers at WorkOS. We’re looking for a leader who is excited to manage engineers, but approaches the role as a startup founding member would. This role is ideal for someone with a builder’s DNA and you will play a key role in shaping product decisions, driving technical strategy, and empowering your team to execute on high-impact projects. You will also play a pivotal role in scaling the team, recruiting exceptional engineers. You’re not just excited about software—you’re obsessed with building the best developer platform. Responsibilities ✔️ * Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish * Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds * Take raw ideas and turn them into working systems, even if you have to duct tape the first version * Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed * Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out * Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related to the product areas your team owns * Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft * Coach, mentor, and build a team of curious, scrappy, driven engineers—people who want to grow fast and build great things Qualifications 🌟 * Track record of having successfully led product-focused engineering teams in high-performing organizations that shipped real impact * You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back * Bias for action and scrappiness: You don’t over-optimize for process. You optimize for velocity, customer value, and learning * You deeply care about the developer experience. You think about UX, APIs, performance, edge cases, and joy * You ask "why" obsessively, and you push yourself (and your team) to learn constantly * You build trust, give direct feedback, and create space for engineers to thrive * You have experience partnering with internal recruiting teams to drive effective and fair hiring processes. You realize that recruiting is a large (and important!) part of your role. A track record of recruiting, hiring, and mentoring top engineering talent.
