Write code and conduct code & architecture reviews regularly, especially in complex or high-priority projects.
Guide architectural decisions and technical design discussions across the team.
Mentor and support engineers in their technical and professional development.
Foster a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, and continuous learning.
Promote modern workflows, including AI-assisted tooling and automation, to improve developer experience and speed.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, QA, and other engineering teams.

Required Background/Skills:

3+ years of experience in engineering management roles, plus 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.
Strong proficiency in Go and/or React; familiarity with cloud-native architecture and distributed systems.
Experience managing high-performing teams in a remote-first environment.

Passion for secure software practices, testing, and building high-availability systems.

Why Join Us:

Shape the future of secure, mission-critical collaboration technology.
Join a high-trust, remote-first team that values autonomy and results.
Work with a fast-growing company tackling some of the world’s most important technical challenges.
Help define how modern engineering teams use AI to build better software, faster.
