luxurypresence - Engineering Manager, Maps & Search - CANADA (Remote)

• You lead from the front. You're still close to the code and technically respected, and you treat management as a craft — growing engineers, giving clear feedback, and building a team that ships. • You already build with AI daily. You use AI as a core part of your workflow, not as a novelty — and you expect your team to as well. • You have strong opinions, loosely held, about how AI changes software architecture, team structure, and engineering culture. • You think in systems. You connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and business value. • You communicate clearly and directly. You can explain complex tradeoffs to product, design, and executive stakeholders. • You're energized by ambiguity and speed. You thrive in a fast-growing company where the roadmap evolves and ownership is real. • You like to have fun at work. We take our craft seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We celebrate wins, crack jokes, and genuinely enjoy building together. • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful senior or staff-level time, plus 2+ years managing engineering teams. • Search experience — you've worked on search, relevance, ranking, or retrieval systems. It doesn't have to be OpenSearch or Elasticsearch specifically, but you understand how search works and how to make it better. • Deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and React, with the full-stack fluency to reason about the whole request path from UI to data. • Experience designing and operating scalable microservice architectures in cloud-native environments (AWS preferred). • Strong understanding of GraphQL, event-driven systems (Kafka), and databases (PostgreSQL, OpenSearch). • A proven track record operating high-traffic, low-latency production systems at scale — SLOs, incident response, and capacity planning are second nature. • Experience leading high-impact initiatives from concept through production in a SaaS environment. • Frontend: React, Tailwind, Apollo • Backend: Node.js / TypeScript microservices • Data: PostgreSQL, OpenSearch • Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Lambda • Messaging: Kafka, Redis • The real estate industry is in the midst of a seismic shift, and the future belongs to those who break new ground.
