Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join our Product Team and to help lead two of CareerPlug’s tight-knit, integrated, and highly productive squads. The right candidate will be motivated to lead and mentor our team of software engineers who are challenged to write clean, maintainable code in Ruby and Javascript in order to build and maintain mature, complex, and constantly growing software products.
Our developers work full-stack, building new features from scratch, and balance their work on new features with bug fixes, innovation projects, and infrastructure improvements. This is an opportunity to make significant contributions to a high-growth product and directly influence the growth and future direction of CareerPlug’s software.
We believe that engineering managers should empower their teams by, among other things, creating a work environment that supports experimentation, failure, learning, high-trust, and allows employees to make decisions that affect their jobs.
If you are an experienced engineering manager who is looking to continue your path while assisting others on their path of continuous learning, continuous improvement, and a team that values outcomes over output this may be a great fit for you!
