Location: Austin, TX

Employment Type: Full-time, In-Office

Department: Engineering

Salary: Total compensation around $300,000+. Salary of $210,000+ annually plus equity.

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineering Manager to lead and scale our engineering organization.

As a (former) individual contributor, you developed innovative products and made hard decisions to solve ambiguous technical problems. You are now scaling your impact by enabling the team to achieve the same level of technical excellence you're known for. You'll report directly to our CTO and work closely with existing engineering leads to create that future.

This is a full-time, in-office position based in Austin, TX.

Our engineering team leans senior, with most members having over 10 years of experience at high-growth companies in Austin. As a Senior Engineering Manager, you could:

• Partner with product to design self-serve customer experiences, defining the technical direction and leading your team to deliver measurable outcomes.

• Evaluate cutting-edge vendors for detailed property analytics, collaborating with data science to identify early indicators of property conditions and risks.

• Guide and coach experienced engineers, helping them identify their strengths and charting paths for continued growth and impact.

What You'll Bring

• Experienced: This isn't your first rodeo leading high-performing engineering teams. While there's no specific minimum number of years, we expect you to confidently navigate complex technical landscapes, mentor senior engineers, and scale teams.

• Builder: You're passionate about shaping the product through engineering leadership. You'll drive architectural vision, empower your team to build innovative solutions, and foster an environment where engineers contribute thoughtfully to the user experience, rather than just executing pre-defined specs.

• Pragmatic: You prioritize impact and swift delivery. You'll balance team velocity with technical excellence, making thoughtful trade-offs to solve problems effectively. You know when to leverage off-the-shelf solutions and when a custom approach is essential, and you're ready to guide your team in iteratively building and deploying solutions that move the needle.

• Specific Languages: We don't really care if you've worked in our stack before as long as you're happy to learn it. If you're sharp enough to be on this team, you're sharp enough to learn any language or framework quickly.

How You'll Contribute

People Management & Team Leadership

• Build and Grow Teams: Actively participate in the hiring, onboarding, and retention of exceptional engineering talent.

• Mentorship & Development: Coach, mentor, and foster the career growth of individual engineers through regular one-on-one meetings, constructive feedback, and performance development plans.

Project & Delivery Oversight

• Execution & Delivery: Oversee the prioritization, planning, execution, and delivery of engineering projects and features with an emphasis on small iterations.

• Operational Excellence: Ensure operational excellence, including support, on-call rotations, deployments, and incident management, embracing a "you build it, you run it" philosophy.

• Data analysis: Use data to drive decision making for evaluating features and success, prioritization, and identifying future opportunities.

• Stakeholder Partnership: Collaborate extensively with Product Managers, Insurance Product, Sales, Marketing, Data Science, and other engineering teams to align priorities, ensure visibility of product and engineering initiatives, and incorporate the company's priorities.
