Senior Engineering Manager

About the Role

Lead a core engineering team building AI-powered products that turn complex tax documents into reliable structured data for professional users. This hands-on player-coach role combines technical contribution, team development, and product delivery.

What You'll Do

• Manage and grow a team of senior, staff, and principal engineers while contributing code and reviewing designs.

• Ship customer-facing, evaluation-driven AI products for extracting structured information from unstructured tax documents.

• Coach engineers through direct feedback, helping them strengthen technical and product judgment and grow into leadership roles.

• Lead hiring, onboarding, and team growth as the organization scales.

• Partner with tax professionals and customer-facing teams to connect engineering decisions to user needs and business outcomes.

• Work alongside senior engineers to debug challenging technical problems and guide implementation.

What We're Looking For

• 10 or more years of software engineering experience, including progression from senior individual contributor work into formal engineering management.

• Experience managing at least five engineers, ideally including staff- or principal-level engineers, and scaling teams through hiring and onboarding.

• Current hands-on software development experience, with a background in production coding, design reviews, pull request reviews, and debugging.

• Backend, backend infrastructure, or backend-leaning full-stack expertise.

• Experience building or leading customer-facing products in product-focused technology organizations.

• Strong coaching and performance management skills, including setting expectations and addressing issues directly.

• Exposure to AI or machine learning systems, such as document AI, retrieval-based or agentic systems, or evaluation-driven development. Python, TypeScript, and cloud infrastructure experience are useful.
