Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. The company provides analytics software for the built environment, using time-series data from HVAC, controls, and utility systems to identify inefficiencies and recommend actions. The Engineering Manager will lead and remain hands-on with a small front-end team, shaping architecture, product direction, UX standards, and AI-first development practices.
Responsibilities
- Lead the team. Three senior developers. Technical direction, mentoring, unblocking, and the rhythm of the thing: sprint planning, grooming, code review, ceremonies. Sprints run four weeks
- Stay hands-on. With three reports this is a genuine player-coach job. Architecture, code review, debugging, building the critical stuff, and a couple of stories a sprint alongside it
- Own the front end. Architecture, code quality, performance, UX standards
- Think like a product person. You'll work directly with the product lead on what gets built and why, two sprints ahead rather than just the current one. Bring ideas. Prototype them. Argue about how the UI should work
- Make the team AI-first. Pick the tools, roll them out, change the habits. Then find where AI belongs in the product itself
- Help design what's next. The roadmap takes the product from reporting on buildings to changing things in them, adjusting setpoints in live sites. That's a proper design problem, not another table and form. You'll help decide what it should feel like
Skills
- Strong hands-on front-end engineering. React, Redux, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML/CSS, Node. Enough credibility to review code, make the architectural calls, and unblock people
- Leadership experience, formally or otherwise. If you've led a team as a senior or lead engineer without the title, that counts. This is a small team, not an org to run
- Genuine AI fluency. Comfortable with AI coding assistants, and interested in what they mean for how a product gets designed, not just how fast you type
- A view on what good looks like. UX and UI craft matters here
- Tools: Highcharts, Kendo React UI, Webpack or Vite, Git, Jira, Agile, Azure DevOps
- Backend awareness helps. You'll work closely with engineers in .NET, C#, SQL Server, and Azure. You won't be working there yourself
- What you don't need: any knowledge of buildings, HVAC or mechanical engineering. They have that covered, and they've been clear they'd rather bring in a fresh perspective than someone who's been in this market a little too long
- KQL, react-grid-layout, and Azure Maps are all nice to have
- If you've built products on high-volume time-series data, that's a real plus
Benefits
- Bonus
- Remote work in the United States
- Quarterly meetups
