About the Role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing engineering pod at GoComet, building critical platform capabilities that power our logistics transformation. This is a hands-on leadership position where you balance direct team management, strategic technical decision-making, and owning the delivery of features that serve 300+ global enterprises, including Fortune 500 clients.

Key Responsibilities

✅ Strategy & Technical Leadership

  • Build and lead a high-performing engineering pod responsible for critical platform capabilities.
  • Define technical strategy, architectural patterns, coding standards, and system design principles aligned with business OKRs.
  • Drive technical roadmapping and break down complex requirements into well-scoped sprints.
  • Ensure systems are designed for reliability, scalability, and performance with strong observability practices.

✅ Delivery & Execution

  • Own quarterly OKRs and feature delivery timelines; maintain visibility into team velocity, blockers, and progress. Be accountable for customer outcomes, business capabilities shipped per engineer, system reliability, and operating cost.
  • Identify and mitigate technical risks early; communicate dependencies and trade-offs proactively.
  • Define sprint cadence, conduct planning and retrospectives, and drive continuous process improvement.
  • Ensure smooth integration with DevOps, QA, and deployment pipelines; own quality gates for releases.

👥 Team Building & People Leadership

  • Hire, onboard, and retain a high-performing engineering team; conduct technical interviews.
  • Lead team rituals: sprint planning, code reviews, retrospectives, and design reviews.
  • Coach engineers on technical growth, career development, and leadership potential.
  • Conduct regular 1-on-1s, provide feedback, and foster a culture of ownership and learning.

🤝 Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Product, Design, QA, DevOps, and other engineering pods on priorities and technical constraints.
  • Communicate proactively on technical decisions, blockers, and resource needs.
  • Advocate for engineering needs while balancing business priorities and delivery timelines.

💻 Technical Contribution

  • Write and review production code as appropriate; maintain technical credibility.
  • Unblock engineers on debugging, architecture decisions, and technical problem-solving.
  • Lead by example in code quality and operational excellence.

Requirements

Experience & Technical Expertise

  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with 3+ years in engineering leadership.
  • Proven track record leading engineering teams in high-scale SaaS or enterprise software environments.
  • Strong foundation in backend systems: database design, API architecture, distributed systems, and scalability.
  • Hands-on experience with modern tech stacks (Python, Java, Go, Ruby); ability to code-review and mentor across languages.
  • Deep understanding of testing practices: unit, integration, end-to-end, and performance testing.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and production observability.
  • Demonstrated experience redesigning engineering workflows using AI agents and verification controls, with measured productivity gains. Familiarity with AI tools alone is insufficient.

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Proven ability to build, scale, and retain high-performing engineering teams.
  • Strong project management skills: breaking down requirements, estimating effort, managing multiple initiatives.
  • Excellent communication across technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience defining technical strategy and making architectural decisions with pragmatism and long-term thinking.
  • Proven cross-functional collaboration with Product, Design, QA, and DevOps teams.

Soft Skills & Mindset

  • Ownership mindset: Take end-to-end accountability for pod outcomes and proactively solve problems.
  • Customer-centric thinking: Understand how your pod's work impacts customer experience and business goals.
  • Adaptability: Comfortable in fast-growing startup environments; flexible and iterative approach to processes.
  • Systems thinking: Aware of how your pod connects to the broader platform and cross-team impacts.
  • Relentless commitment to quality and technical excellence.

Ideal Candidate

You're a technical leader and builder of teams who understands that great engineering requires both velocity and reliability. You care deeply about system design and code quality, and you're relentless in pursuing technical excellence while unblocking your team to move fast. You thrive in collaborative environments and are equally comfortable pairing with an engineer on a complex bug or presenting technical trade-offs to leadership. You mentor with intent, hire with rigor, and build cultures where ownership and continuous learning are non-negotiable

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
