## About the role

We’re hiring an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a team of product engineers at WorkOS. We’re looking for a leader who is excited to manage engineers, but approaches the role as a startup founding member would. This role is ideal for someone with a builder’s DNA and you will play a key role in shaping product decisions, driving technical strategy, and empowering your team to execute on high-impact projects.

## What they're looking for

- Track record of having successfully led product-focused engineering teams in high-performing organizations that shipped real impact
- You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back
- Bias for action and scrappiness: You don’t over-optimize for process. You optimize for velocity, customer value, and learning
- You deeply care about the developer experience. You think about UX, APIs, performance, edge cases, and joy
- You ask "why" obsessively, and you push yourself (and your team) to learn constantly
- You build trust, give direct feedback, and create space for engineers to thrive
