Percepta is a General Catalyst transformation company helping critical institutions actualize AI transformation. Backed by Techstars.
About the role
We're hiring a player-coach Engineering Manager to help us grow our incredible engineers who are tackling our customers’ hardest problems. Our Applied AI Engineers embed directly with customer teams. They own delivery, sit with operators and executives and ship production AI systems into environments nobody would describe as clean.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years building production software, with at least 2 leading or managing engineers. Titles don’t matter: TLs who have been doing this work, please apply
- You still write code and you want to keep writing code. Python and TypeScript specifically, since that's our stack and our interview loop
- A track record you can point at: An engineer who got noticeably better because of how you managed them. Be specific about what changed
- Systems taste. You can explain why a design is shaped the way it is, where it'll strain, and what you'd trade off. Opinionated beats default
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, and the instinct to poke at unfamiliar systems rather than wait to be shown around
- Real product empathy. You think about how people will actually use the thing, what it costs them to adopt it, and how to integrate without wrecking their workflow
