The RoleEngineering Managers at Gigs are responsible for enabling a high-performing group of engineers to ship impactful work, grow their skills, and collaborate cross-functionally. This is a hands-on leadership role - you will guide technical execution while helping shape the team's long-term direction

Salary Range: $265,000 - $300,000
What You'll Do- Lead, support, and grow a team of software engineers working on core parts of our platform

- Create a team environment that balances ambition, ownership, and continuous learning
- Ensure a sustainable and inclusive engineering culture where people thrive
- Contribute to hiring and onboarding processes to help scale the team thoughtfully
- Step into technical discussions with clarity and pragmatism when needed
What We're Looking For- 4+ years of experience leading engineering teams in high-growth, product-driven environments
- Strong technical background - you have shipped code at scale and can dive deep when needed
- A thoughtful approach to people management and a track record of growing and developing engineers
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and building clarity
- A clear communicator who brings cross-functional stakeholders together
- Bias for impact, balanced with high standards and good judgment
- Experience with modern product development practices (we use Go, Ruby, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GCP), including continuous delivery, observability, and infrastructure as code
- Ideally experience managing and working with remote and distributed teams
- Experience building API forward products (nice to have)
