About Mashgin

Powering billions of transactions for thousands of retailers, we're the only patented 3D AI checkout. Just place items and our AI does the rest in 0.5 seconds. Backed by NEA and Y Combinator.

About the role

Have you led a team without giving up the parts of engineering you like most? We're looking for an Engineering Manager who also excels as a builder: someone who notices patterns that lead to better design, abstractions, and technical direction to elevate the entire team, while sitting down to ship a feature when needed. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years managing engineers directly, including hiring, performance, and career growth
  • A track record of staying technical while managing: recent code, design reviews, or architecture you personally owned
  • B.S. or higher in Computer Science (or equivalent work experience)
  • Excellent knowledge of one or more of these languages: Python, Node.js, C++, Go, Java
  • Comfortable learning new languages, libraries, and frameworks when the solution calls for it
