It’s an incredibly exciting time to join Leapsome and be part of reshaping the future of work!
Your opportunity:
Join a lean, high-performing product engineering team that's reshaping the future of work. At Leapsome, we empower senior engineering leaders to drive impact through a unique blend of technical depth, strategic thinking, and people-first leadership.
As a Senior Engineering Manager, you'll take ownership of one of our People Enablement-focused cross-functional squads, responsible for core product areas such as reviews, goals, instant feedback meetings, learning management system, and calendar integrations. This is a high-impact role that goes beyond team delivery, you’ll help shape our workflows, scale our engineering culture, and mentor fellow Engineering Managers while contributing to cross-squad leadership topics.
We’re looking for someone who combines sharp technical instincts with a strong sense for people and product. You will code alongside your team, elevate engineers and leaders around you, and act as a multiplier for productivity, alignment, and innovation across the department. You’ll guide engineers toward thoughtful, scalable decisions emphasizing simplicity & maintainability instead of over-engineering, focusing on core user challenges with a strong product engineering mindset, and planning for long-term growth. You’ll champion a culture that values asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and developing sound judgment across the team.
You will:
Lead, coach, and grow a team of highly capable engineers, supporting their career development, motivation, and performance
Own the technical strategy and delivery of HRIS modules, navigating complex workflows, compliance, and scale
Collaborate with Product, Design, Legal, and Leadership to ensure your squad delivers secure, scalable, and user-focused solutions
Stay hands-on and contribute code regularly, especially in moments of complexity, risk, or when unblocking the team
Drive architectural decisions, advocate for quality, and ensure consistent, pragmatic engineering practices
Guide engineers to avoid over-engineering, prioritize high-impact solutions, and foster sustainable, scalable decision-making
Encourage long-term thinking, clear trade-offs, and curiosity-driven problem solving
Evolve and improve our workflows, team structure, and use of tooling (incl. AI), with a focus on productivity and sustainability
Own communication with stakeholders, proactively aligning priorities, sharing context, and providing visibility into progress
Shape squad rituals, performance expectations, and decision-making frameworks, balancing autonomy with alignment
What is the technology stack?
Frontend: Vue.js, TailwindCSS, and a modern design system for a consistent, intuitive user experience
Backend: Node.js (TypeScript) with Express, MongoDB and NATS, built for scalability and modularity
AI/LLMs: Integration of state-of-the-art AI technologies, like GPT from OpenAI and LangChain, to create smarter workflows and enhance functionality
Infrastructure: Docker and AWS, ensuring robust CI/CD pipelines and scalable infrastructure
Testing: Automated testing using Playwright, Vitest, Mocha/Chai, and other tools to maintain high-quality, reliable codebases
Analytics: Mixpanel, Sentry, Datadog and custom solutions for data-driven development and monitoring
Collaboration: GitHub, Notion, and async communication tools for transparent teamwork
You’ll be a good fit if you:
Have 6+ years of experience as a software engineer and 4+ years as an engineering manager, with a track record of growing people and delivering impactful software
Are comfortable working across the stack and willing to dive into code when necessary
Have led teams working on transactional, compliance-sensitive systems (e.g. HRIS, payroll, finance, SaaS platforms)
Combine technical depth with a passion for people leadership and coaching
Demonstrate strategic thinking, strong prioritization, and the ability to communicate with clarity across levels
Are experienced in collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders and driving alignment
Guide engineers to develop strong judgment around complexity, scalability, and long-term value creation
Value product thinking, enjoy solving real user problems, and don’t wait to be told what to build
Bring a mindset of pragmatic excellence, knowing when to ship and when to refactor
Approach challenges with curiosity and humility, always open to learning from others and excited by Leapsome's mission to make work more meaningful
Impact: Become part of a fast-growing scale-up taking over the People Performance & Enablement space by making work fulfilling for more than two million people by 2025
Teammates: Join a diverse and international team of talented, smart, and kind people
