runlayer - Engineering Manager
Requirements
• 7+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years managing engineers • A strong senior IC before you managed. You can still go deep in a design review or an incident. • You've grown a team at a startup: hired the people, set the bar, and moved someone out when it was right • You use AI coding agents every day and have a concrete answer to review overload and AI slop • Fluent in Python or TypeScript, comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform) • Direct communicator. You give hard feedback early and kindly. • You want to manage. People are the job, not a detour from it. • Early engineer at a startup that grew from seed through Series B or beyond • Built security, identity, infrastructure or developer-tool products • Shipped to enterprise buyers with strict security and compliance requirements • Hands-on with MCP, agent frameworks or LLM-backed products • For the Platform seat: you've carried a pager and run incident response for a production platform
Responsibilities
• Lead a pod of 6 to 10 engineers: weekly 1:1s, career growth, performance, and the hard calls when something isn't working • Stay hands-on: review PRs, ship code and debug production with your team • Run delivery: turn roadmap bets into scoped work, keep cycle time low, and make sure what ships solves the customer's problem • Own quality and reliability for your area: review standards, tests, incidents, postmortems and on-call • Hire: run your pod's interview loop, raise the bar and close the people you want • Make an AI-native team work at scale: review load, agent-written code, evals and the checks that stop slop from shipping • Partner with product, design and our Chief Architect on what to build and how to build it • Paid time off — paid vacation, paid sick leave, and paid parental leave. • Professional development — budget for conferences, courses, and certifications in AI, enterprise software, and customer success. • Top-tier equipment — your choice of laptop and accessories to create your ideal work environment. • Health benefits — comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage. • Customer interaction opportunities — work directly with innovative companies and see the immediate impact of your work. • Not quite the right fit? Reach out to [email protected] [email protected] with details about your experience and interests.
Benefits
• Impact: Your pod ships the platform enterprises use to put AI agents to work safely. What you build reaches customers in days, not quarters. • Excellence: Work with the team that helped establish MCP, built AI Actions for OpenAI and shipped Zapier Agents to millions of users. • Ownership: Own your pod end to end: people, hiring, delivery, quality and on-call. • We provide a competitive package designed to attract and retain top talent who can work effectively with enterprise customers.
