About the role
We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to stand up and lead a brand-new Core Applications Platform team. This team’s customers are our internal product teams, and its mandate is to design, build, and own the shared, full-stack application capabilities that every product at Copia depends on; the kind of capabilities that should be solved once, well, and reused across many user types.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience, with at least 1–2 years of formal or informal people-leadership experience (tech lead, team lead, or direct management)
- A strong technical foundation across the stack - frontend, backend, APIs, and data - and the judgment to design shared application capabilities that other engineers will want to build on
- Experience delivering a product or capability with engineers as the end users (an internal platform, SDK, design system, framework, shared services layer, or developer-tools product). You know how to treat other engineers as real customers
- Demonstrated ability to coach engineers — helping them grow technically, take on bigger scope, and develop in their careers
- Strong written and verbal communication. You can adjust your message for engineers, executives, and partner teams without losing the substance
- Sound judgment around prioritization, scope, and trade-offs, which includes knowing when to ship a focused MVP versus investing in the right foundation and when to say "no" or "not yet" to internal customers
