Full Job Description
Engineering Manager

Department: Technology

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Boise, Idaho

Reporting To: Director, Engineering

Description

As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead two engineering teams that build and enhance software used by organizations around the world. Your mission is to develop high-performing engineers, drive technical excellence, and ensure your teams can deliver on their roadmap.

What you'll do:
  • Lead and develop exceptional engineering teams. You'll coach, mentor, and develop a team of approximately eight engineers, creating an environment where people thrive and deliver their best work. As you grow within the organization, you'll have opportunities to take on additional teams and broaden your leadership impact across the engineering organization.
  • Partner closely with product and business leaders. You'll work alongside Product Managers and stakeholders to prioritize work, remove obstacles, and ensure engineering efforts align with business priorities and customer needs.
  • Drive engineering excellence. You'll establish and reinforce high standards for software quality, technical decision-making, and team performance while creating an environment where engineers are empowered to execute.
  • Build strong cross-functional relationships. You'll serve as the bridge between engineering, product, and business teams, translating technical concepts into clear business language and helping stakeholders make informed decisions.


Who you are:
  • People-first leader. You genuinely enjoy coaching, mentoring, and developing engineers. You measure your success by the success of your team and create an environment where people can grow and thrive.
  • Excellent communicator. You build strong relationships across technical and non-technical teams. Whether you're speaking with engineers, executives, product managers, or customers, you're able to communicate clearly and build trust.
  • Ownership-minded. You hold yourself and your teams to a high standard. You take responsibility for outcomes, proactively remove obstacles, and ensure quality and accountability remain central to everything your team delivers.
  • Technically credible. You have experience working with modern software development teams and enough familiarity with Java and Angular to confidently support technical discussions, ask thoughtful questions, and help your team make sound engineering decisions.
  • Quality-focused. You care deeply about building reliable, scalable software and fostering engineering practices that support long-term success rather than short-term fixes.


What you'll get in return:

Our benefits go well beyond the basics. To support your work-life integration, we built a benefits program that takes care of the whole person, including physical, mental, financial, and emotional health.
  • Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance to all full-time employees. Best part? You'll be eligible on day one.
  • 401k. We offer a 401k and a 3% company contribution (even better than a match) to help you get ready to retire no matter how far off that seems.
  • Parental leave. We take care of new parents by offering paid time off for births, adoptions, and fostering.
  • Paid Time Off. Outstanding time off benefits.
  • Mentorship. Our office-based culture fosters meaningful learning, growth, and mentorship for our team.
