We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead one of our core product engineering teams. This role combines deeply involved technical leadership with people management, requiring someone who can build high-performing teams while maintaining our focus on delivering exceptional user experiences. You’ll drive business-critical initiatives, grow a high-performing engineering team, and work cross-functionally to deliver outcomes that move the company forward.
You’ll play a key role in turning strategic goals into shipped product—combining technical leadership, strong execution, and product thinking to ensure we’re building the right things in the right way. This role is ideal for someone who leads with clarity, values ownership, and is energized by building alongside a kind, collaborative team.
This is not a pure people-management role, but a high-leverage leadership position that demands technical depth and strong product intuition.
Product Outcomes and Technical Strategy
Own business-critical initiatives by partnering with Product and Design to define and deliver work that creates real user and business value
Translate company strategy into clear, actionable technical plans with measurable outcomes
Prioritize the highest-impact work and create focus within the team even when goals are evolving
Lead effectively in ambiguity by structuring complex problem spaces and creating alignment around what matters most
Technical Execution and Decision-Making
Guide architectural thinking and support strong technical decisions without becoming a bottleneck
Help the team balance delivery speed with technical sustainability
Set a high bar for quality by encouraging craftsmanship, operational rigor, and scalable thinking
Team Leadership and Growth
Build a high-trust, high-performing engineering team focused on ownership, urgency, and product impact
Invest in the development of engineers and future leaders by creating growth opportunities that align with team goals
Act as a force for clarity and alignment across engineering, product, and cross-functional partners
Experience
3 to 5 years of engineering management experience in fast-moving, product-led environments
8 or more years of hands-on software engineering experience, with the ability to support technical design and strategy
A track record of leading teams that have shipped meaningful, high-impact product work
Qualities That Matter
Product fluency. You understand how software is built end-to-end and how technical work connects to user outcomes and business goals. You are deeply involved in product strategy, flexibly overlapping responsibilities with your Product Manager partners.
Systems thinking. You consider how engineering decisions influence architecture, execution, team health, and customer experience.
Clarity creator. You help teams move forward in uncertainty by breaking down complexity and communicating clearly.
Builder’s mindset. You enjoy solving open-ended problems and thrive in dynamic, evolving environments.
Our values are important to the way we live and work at Sydecar. They guide our priorities, behaviors and interactions.
Be Committed
As a team, we rise to meet challenges and recognize that we become stronger and develop character when facing adversity.
Be Excellent
We measure our success not just by what we achieve, but by how we achieve it—through integrity, creativity, elegance, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Excellence is not just doing things well—it's looking for ways to do them better.
Be Humble
Humility is our key to personal and professional growth. We appreciate that great ideas can come from anywhere, regardless of seniority, pedigree, or experience. We care more about collective outcomes than who gets credit or who does what. We try to not let our ego cloud our judgment.
Win Together
Winning is no accident. It is the result of collective hard work, perseverance, sacrifice, and most of all, loving what we do. Winning requires that we give extra—sometimes winning calls for late nights or extra effort, and we show up for clients and each other with urgency and heart. While excellence is a journey, winning is a destination.
