Job Description
Engineering Manager
Axios
• Stay close to the code and architecture. Contribute directly when it unblocks the team, resolves complexity, or accelerates a critical path – not to gatekeep. • Drive high-quality, timely delivery by making decisions quickly, clearing obstacles, and ensuring the team has what they need to ship without waiting on you. • Coach engineers through direct 1:1 feedback, career guidance, and hands-on pairing. Raise the bar on ownership so the team increasingly solves problems without escalation. • Partner with Product, Design, and stakeholders to bring clarity to priorities and translate them into effective execution. Be the person who makes alignment easy, not another layer of indirection. • Establish and uphold best practices for code quality, testing, and system reliability to ensure maintainable and scalable systems. • Leverage and evolve agentic workflows and AI-assisted development practices to improve team productivity, accelerate delivery, and enhance engineering quality. • Protect the team's time. Say no to low-value work, reduce ambiguity, and keep everyone pointed at what actually moves the business forward. • Identify and remove blockers, improve team processes, and continuously increase velocity, ownership, and effectiveness.
Job Requirements
- 3–7 years of experience leading engineering teams, with a strong background in backend or full-stack web development.
- A strong engineering foundation. You can contribute meaningfully to production code, not just review or direct it. Your technical credibility earns trust.
- Player-coach instincts. Leadership through context, not contribution. You lead by staying close to the work, and understand the technical landscape, anticipating friction, and equip the team to move fast.
- An unblocker mindset with product instinct. You default to enabling autonomy, make decisions visible, and share context proactively. You think like a product partner, identifying the highest-impact work and connecting engineering effort to business outcomes.
- AI fluency. You actively use AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows, and you push the team to do the same.
- System design judgment. You make pragmatic architectural calls that balance speed, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
- Coaching that raises the bar. You help engineers grow through honest feedback, high standards, and increasing responsibility.
- Clear, decisive communication. You simplify complex problems, make tradeoffs explicit, and keep teams and stakeholders aligned without overcomplicating things.
