clipboard - Engineering Manager - Platform

• We care less about polished narratives and more about how someone thinks through problems.A successful Engineering Manager at Clipboard demonstrates the following traits: • First-principles Thinking: we value people who do not rely on past experience by default, but dive deep to understand what is actually going on before deciding what to do. • Customer-centricity: we care about people who stay close to the customer and use that context to make decisions and prioritize work. • Ownership and Judgement: we look for people who take responsibility for outcomes, make clear calls on what matters, and help teams move forward, treating their area like their own business. • Technical Strength: we expect Engineering Managers to stay close enough to the work to understand tradeoffs, support good technical decisions, and know when something does not feel right. • The Interview Process • At Clipboard, we don’t believe proxies are a reliable way to measure ability. We prefer to evaluate candidates by having them do work that closely resembles the actual job. Our process is designed around that: • 1. Async Technical Design Document (TDD) Review, followed by a 1-hour discussion with our Engineering Leadership team • 2. Async EM Scenario Exercise, followed by a 1-hour discussion with our Engineering Leadership team • 3. Hiring Manager Interview with our CPO • 4. Executive Interview with our co-CEO • Quick Note on Scammers: • Clipboard would never ask you for money or your bank details to participate in our hiring process.
