Engineering Manager

• You have experience leading small engineering teams and haven't lost your "builder" mindset. You enjoy the challenge of solving complex technical problems alongside your team. • You are deeply comfortable with distributed systems, API design, and data modelling. You can zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to catch a bug in a PR. • You are passionate about developing people. You know how to deliver constructive feedback during 1:1s and how to navigate performance cycles to help your team level up. • You thrive in cross-functional environments. You know how to speak the language of "Design" and "Product" to find the best solutions for our members. • You are excited by the challenge of "productionizing" science—turning complex models into reliable, user-facing insights. • 📢 WHAT TO EXPECT: THE HIRING PROCESS • We’ve designed our process to be transparent and reflective of the day-to-day of an Engineering Manager at ZOE. You’ll meet engineers, product partners, and leadership to ensure we’re the right fit for your career goals. • Hiring Manager Screen (45 min) - A technical and leadership synchronisation with an Engineering Director. We’ll discuss your experience building teams, productionising complex data, and how you balance "the builder mindset" with people management. • The Remote Loop - Our final stage consists of four focused sessions designed to see how you collaborate and solve problems. • Live Coding Interview (60 min): We believe our leaders should stay close to the code. You'll work through a hands-on exercise to demonstrate your problem-solving logic and technical communication. • System Design Interview (60 min): A deep dive into architecture. We’ll look at how you design scalable, reliable systems that bridge the gap between complex research data and a seamless user experience. • Cross-Functional Partnership (45 min): You’ll meet with a Product Manager and/or Designer. This session explores how you navigate trade-offs, shape roadmaps, and communicate technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders. • Final Leadership Interview (45 min): A concluding conversation on your long-term growth, leadership philosophy, and how you’ll contribute to ZOE’s culture of curiosity and diversity. • 🚀 READY TO THRIVE? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU • The experience, skills, and attributes we’ve outlined are what we believe will help someone truly thrive in this role. • However, we understand that talent comes in many forms. If you are genuinely excited about ZOE's mission and this opportunity, please don't hesitate to apply—even if you don't meet every single requirement listed. • We fundamentally value potential and commitment above all else. We are dedicated to fostering growth and providing opportunities for you to learn and develop alongside us.
