Engineering Manager
Remote, across the United States or Canada.
About the role
A high-growth technology business is seeking a seasoned Engineering Manager to lead and grow a squad of 8–15 engineers. The successful candidate will be responsible for hiring, career development, performance management, and budget/headcount planning for their team. They will operate as a peer on a tight management team, collectively owning engineering department decisions, setting the pace, and challenging the status quo to foster an environment where engineers can ship fast and learn from failures. A key focus will be driving predictable, high-quality delivery, ensuring the team is AI-native, and partnering closely with Product, Delivery, and cross-functional teams to align with customer value. The business specialises in building autonomous contact centre solutions using AI, starting with voice-based interactions, and has been running AI agents in production for enterprises since 2020. The platform includes real-time voice infrastructure, speech recognition, large language models, reasoning runtimes, bot-building UI, ML infrastructure, and big-data analytics.
What we are looking for
Candidates should have 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 5 years spent managing engineering teams of 8+ people. Essential experience includes leading software engineering teams in early-stage or high-growth startup environments, coupled with a servant-leadership approach to people management. The role requires comfort operating in a fast-moving, fully remote setting, empowering senior engineers rather than writing code, and a proven track record in hiring, developing, and making tough performance calls. Bonus points are awarded for founder experience, hands-on AI fluency, or exposure to conversational AI, voice, or telephony systems.
Compensation
USD $250,000 – $300,000 base salary, with equivalent CAD ranges for candidates based in Canada. Compensation is determined by level and experience within the Senior Engineering Manager (M4) band. This role does not include variable or commission-based compensation.
Working arrangement
Hybrid
Visa eligibility
Visa sponsorship is not available. Applicants must be US citizens or Green Card holders.
Equity
Competitive equity in the form of meaningful stock option grants, reflecting a compensation philosophy of shared ownership. As a Series B company operating in a fast-growing AI market, the equity carries significant upside potential.
