Engineering Manager

What You'll Do6

• Direct teams of 20+ developers working in Python, JavaScript, and Java to execute technical delivery tasks.
• Partner with researcher clients to align on expectations and keep them satisfied with completed datasets.
• Run rigorous review checkpoints that protect dataset quality before release.
• Move projects from kickoff to stable delivery state while owning the outcome end to end.
• Implement quality improvements for Python, JavaScript, and Java code produced by the team.
• Identify and resolve issues related to question clarity, methodology, result communication, and bugs across all team output.

Requirements5

• At least 8 years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years in an engineering management position.
• A track record of managing large technical teams in a delivery-focused environment, with working proficiency in Python or Java/JavaScript (both are ideal).
• Comfortable doing hands-on technical work to spot and resolve quality issues in code and datasets.
• Strong leadership and people management skills that keep large, mixed teams of engineers and data scientists motivated.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills for working with external clients and internal partners.

Who Should Apply

The right candidate has 8+ years of engineering experience, at least 3 years managing engineers, and a history of running teams of 20+ in delivery-heavy environments. They are comfortable opening the codebase themselves to fix quality issues in Python, Java, or JavaScript, and they know how to communicate with researcher clients. This role is less suitable for hands-off managers who prefer to delegate all technical review, or for engineers who want to stay individual contributors. Common rejection reasons include showing no evidence of leading teams at that scale, failing a hands-on technical review, or struggling to explain delivery issues to stakeholders.
