Merge is the infrastructure layer for production AI. One platform connects your products and agents to every API, tool, and LLM they need to run at scale. Backed by Accel and NEA.
About the role
Merge is looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead engineering for one of our new Products org, Agent Handler, the products extending Merge beyond synced data into tools, and actions for the AI era. These are early, fast-moving bets, and this role is squarely about taking them from 0 to 1: finding product-market fit, shipping fast, and building the team around what's working.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of engineering experience with 1+ years in management
- Experience leading teams of 5+ engineers in fast-paced, startup environments
- Strong product orientation — experience owning or deeply influencing product roadmaps and business outcomes
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a hands-on leader (not purely a people manager)
- Experience building and scaling engineering teams, including hiring and developing internal talent
- Familiarity with modern backend systems and infrastructure (e.g., Django, Python, Postgres, AWS, Kubernetes)
