The Opportunity
To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Coda team. Coda at Superhuman is on a mission to make docs and app-building radically simpler for everyone, from solo creators to the world’s largest enterprises. As Engineering Manager for the Coda Products in Berlin, you will join our local team responsible for:
- Growing teams and shaping the organization. You’ll build and develop the Coda engineering function in Berlin, coach and support engineers, and partner closely with senior leadership on broader organizational design, cross-location collaboration, and execution strategy.
- Developing enterprise-grade product and platform capabilities. You’ll lead teams building robust, secure, and scalable features and infrastructure that support the needs of Coda’s most demanding enterprise customers and their environments.
- Evolving multi-platform user experiences. You’ll guide the development of high-quality experiences across mobile and desktop surfaces, helping teams deliver intuitive, fully featured workflows that meet users where they work.
- Driving full-stack craftsmanship. From rich, reactive front-end UI to performant application logic, you’ll champion engineering designs that delight users while scaling gracefully.
- Scaling a high-performing team. You’ll grow the group from 2 to ~12 engineers, raise the hiring bar, and develop rising stars while quickly and compassionately addressing performance gaps.
- Shipping fast, learning faster. Partnering with Product, Design, Data Science, and UXR, you’ll turn vision into clear scopes, keep execution unblocked, and iterate in tight feedback loops.
- Shaping the future of Coda. Your work will unlock new consumer and managed-funnel use cases, influence platform direction, and set patterns adopted across the company.
If you thrive on blending hands-on technical depth with coaching and product thinking—and want your decisions to impact millions of creators—this role is for you.
Grammarly’s engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. You can hear more from our team on our technical blog.
