The posting

Switchboard works with thousands of campaigns from school board to Senate and Presidential races, strengthening Democratic digital fundraising and organizing programs up and down the ballot. In addition to the automated messaging platform that we launched in 2021 through which organizations have sent billions of messages, over the last year we’ve continued to build out an integrated suite of tools, including an emailer, contribution platform, forms builder, and fundraising analytics dashboards, with the goal of bringing together coordination across outreach channels, powerful analytics, and an easy-to-use platform.

As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead an autonomous agile team in close partnership with product and design. Your job is to multiply the team's impact, not to carry it: you'll grow engineers into leaders, delegate real ownership, and keep the team making steady progress on ambitious product work while the systems customers rely on stay stable and responsive.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Lead an autonomous agile team, setting clear expectations and holding it accountable without becoming the bottleneck.
  • Partner with product and design from discovery through delivery, bringing a strong technical voice to scoping and prioritization.
  • Grow engineers across a range of specialties and experience levels into technical leaders, delegating ownership and stretch opportunities deliberately.
  • Balance sustained investment in future-facing product and architecture work with the reliability of existing systems.
  • Improve how the team detects, triages, and resolves user-facing incidents, issues, and bugs, so customers get faster and more predictable responses.
  • Understand our stack and systems deeply, and drive toward structures that become easier to maintain and change over time.
  • Collaborate with product, design, data, and operations to staff the right people against the right work.

Ideal Candidates have:

  • 5+ years as an engineering manager, with a track record of developing engineers into leaders through partnership and delegation rather than shouldering execution yourself.
  • Prior hands-on experience as a full stack engineer, with enough depth to evaluate technical tradeoffs credibly.
  • Experience leading engineers with different areas of expertise and levels of experience.
  • Experience jumping into a complex system you didn't build and seeking understanding from day one.
  • Nice to have: experience supporting a high-scale B2B product, continuously shipping small and large improvements while maintaining high stability.
  • Nice to have: familiarity with Python and JavaScript (we use Django and Next.js).

Compensation

  • $200k–$245k annual salary and an equity grant, depending on experience
  • Switchboard covers 100% of health, dental, and vision coverage for employees and 80% for dependents
  • 21 days of paid time off plus federal holidays
  • Unlimited sick leave
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave for parents of any gender, including adoptive parents
  • 401(K) match with immediate vesting
  • Two work mode options: Vibrant hybrid workplace in Washington D.C., with relocation assistance for candidates interested in working in-person, or full-time, remote work outside of D.C.

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.
