This role's mission & overview: We are looking for an engineering manager for our Camp Admin Experience team, which is a growing team that focuses on products serving the camp admin persona at Campminder. This manager will be leading a team of engineers who are rapidly reimagining a core monolithic product, redesigning core customer features while modernizing the underlying architecture. This team has a unique mix of tenured employees and new engineers, who will be rapidly modernizing a monolithic system through greenfield development of new products/features and incremental decommissioning of old systems.

  • Partner with cross-functional leaders across CampCo to ensure a seamless customer experience during a transformational product modernization
  • Lead engineering best practices on rapid, iterative feedback cycles with customers while balancing plans for long-term scalability and reliability
  • Build an AI-first engineering team, that uses the best AI tools throughout their development process, and includes AI in the product where appropriate
  • Cultivate an engineering culture of autonomy, technical excellence, and rapid iteration, empowering your team to solve difficult distributed systems problems
  • Mentor and grow engineers at all levels, providing technical guidance and career coaching to foster a world-class development environment

We think a successful candidate will bring:
  • Experience leading high-performing, highly engaged engineering teams in growth environments, while maintaining strong engineering best practices and high quality
  • A strong track record of architectural modernization, such as migrating monolithic applications to service-oriented architectures
  • Expertise working with engineering teams using rapid experimentation to build features that delight customers, and transitioning winning ideas into scalable product features
  • Experience with agentic coding and harness engineering
  • Strong Agile and project management skills, with a proven track record of continuously improving systems and processes on your teams in order to make them more efficient
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to craft options and translate complex technical trade-offs into clear business impact for stakeholders across the organization
  • Excellent coaching and mentorship skills, and ability to grow engineers with a wide range of skillsets
  • Growth-oriented mindset, with a desire to constantly learn and improve, and constantly improve their team
