About the role
- We are hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead this team.

- You will partner closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and partner teams to grow deal discovery, claim, and redemption, while keeping the underlying platform reliable and easy to build on. You will steer technical direction, lead by example, and develop the people on your team

- Stay hands-on: write and ship code on high-leverage projects, and set the technical bar by doing the work alongside your team
- Review your team’s pull requests and lead design reviews, raising the bar for quality, testing, and maintainability through direct feedback
- Own the technical direction for the deals and offers surface, from member-facing discovery and redemption experiences to the platform that powers them
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and Analytics to grow deal attach, claim, and redemption, and to turn experiments into durable member value
- Establish a sense of urgency and direction, set clear team objectives in alignment with organization and company priorities, and hold a high bar for execution
- Drive architecture and technical decisions that keep the deals platform reliable, well-instrumented, and scalable as volume grows
- Manage partner and merchant integrations, working across engineering and external vendors to expand offer supply and improve measurement
- Ensure quality, performance, and operational health, including a healthy on-call and incident-response culture

- Physical: We believe in taking care of your physical health, so as a Chimer you’ll get medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as benefits to support your physical activity, family planning, and all of your little Chimers
- Emotional: We know that staying healthy involves a lot more than doctor’s checkups. We partner with Modern Health to help you navigate your mental health, give monthly Take Care of Yourself Days, and want you to take time off when you need it
- Financial: We want Chimers to save and feel financially supported, so we offer savings plans with competitive matching, as well as access to financial planning and legal assistance so that you can find your financial peace of mind
