Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Signal Mine is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a small, growing engineering team and make delivery more predictable, sustainable, and disciplined. The role focuses on day-to-day delivery leadership, engineering process adherence, client communication, team development, capacity management, and sustainable team growth rather than regular production coding.
Responsibilities
- Run effective stand-ups and delivery rituals that surface risks, clarify priorities, and keep work moving
- Turn approved requirements into clear, actionable work; ensure tickets are well scoped, owned, and sequenced
- Assign work intentionally across the team, balancing delivery needs, individual strengths, growth opportunities, and sustainable capacity
- Track delivery health, remove blockers, and communicate tradeoffs early
- Protect the team from burnout by managing workload, prioritization, and expectations with care
- Ensure the team follows Signal Mine’s documentation, agentic-coding, and testing practices consistently
- Make quality and process adherence part of normal delivery rather than an after-the-fact cleanup step
- Identify gaps in execution, clarify expectations, and work with the team to strengthen repeatable delivery habits
- Use sound technical judgment to ask the right questions, recognize delivery risk, and hold a high bar for well-tested work
- Participate in client conversations when engineering context, delivery status, or technical tradeoffs need to be explained
- Translate technical work into clear, practical language for clients, the VP of Delivery, and customer-facing teammates
- Build confidence through direct communication, reliable follow-through, and an accurate view of what the team can deliver
- Provide regular feedback, performance guidance, and career development for direct reports
- Create a team environment where engineers can do focused, sustainable work and develop their judgment
- Partner with the VP of Delivery and company leadership on hiring, interview evaluation, and team growth
Skills
- Prior formal experience managing an engineering team of more than one or two people
- A practical leadership style developed in a startup, agency, product, or similarly fast-moving environment
- Strong delivery-management skills: translating requirements into work, setting priorities, assigning ownership, managing capacity, and resolving blockers
- Enough technical fluency to discuss modern software delivery with engineers and clients, including web services, cloud infrastructure, systems integration, and testing practices
- Comfort leading a team that uses AI-assisted and agentic coding workflows. Deep prior experience with these workflows is not required; willingness and ability to implement Signal Mine's established process is
- Clear, grounded communication with technical and non-technical audiences
- A people-first approach that combines accountability, direct feedback, and sustainable expectations
Benefits
- Fully remote work arrangement
