[Remote] Engineering Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Signal Mine is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a small, growing engineering team and make delivery more predictable, sustainable, and disciplined. The role focuses on day-to-day delivery leadership, engineering process adherence, client communication, team development, capacity management, and sustainable team growth rather than regular production coding.

Responsibilities

• Run effective stand-ups and delivery rituals that surface risks, clarify priorities, and keep work moving
• Turn approved requirements into clear, actionable work; ensure tickets are well scoped, owned, and sequenced
• Assign work intentionally across the team, balancing delivery needs, individual strengths, growth opportunities, and sustainable capacity
• Track delivery health, remove blockers, and communicate tradeoffs early
• Protect the team from burnout by managing workload, prioritization, and expectations with care
• Ensure the team follows Signal Mine’s documentation, agentic-coding, and testing practices consistently
• Make quality and process adherence part of normal delivery rather than an after-the-fact cleanup step
• Identify gaps in execution, clarify expectations, and work with the team to strengthen repeatable delivery habits
• Use sound technical judgment to ask the right questions, recognize delivery risk, and hold a high bar for well-tested work
• Participate in client conversations when engineering context, delivery status, or technical tradeoffs need to be explained
• Translate technical work into clear, practical language for clients, the VP of Delivery, and customer-facing teammates
• Build confidence through direct communication, reliable follow-through, and an accurate view of what the team can deliver
• Provide regular feedback, performance guidance, and career development for direct reports
• Create a team environment where engineers can do focused, sustainable work and develop their judgment
• Partner with the VP of Delivery and company leadership on hiring, interview evaluation, and team growth

Skills

• Prior formal experience managing an engineering team of more than one or two people
• A practical leadership style developed in a startup, agency, product, or similarly fast-moving environment
• Strong delivery-management skills: translating requirements into work, setting priorities, assigning ownership, managing capacity, and resolving blockers
• Enough technical fluency to discuss modern software delivery with engineers and clients, including web services, cloud infrastructure, systems integration, and testing practices
• Comfort leading a team that uses AI-assisted and agentic coding workflows. Deep prior experience with these workflows is not required; willingness and ability to implement Signal Mine's established process is
• Clear, grounded communication with technical and non-technical audiences
• A people-first approach that combines accountability, direct feedback, and sustainable expectations

Benefits

• Fully remote work arrangement
