Engineering Manager (Talent Matching Software)

Join our team as an Engineering Manager for our talent matching software. In this player-coach role, you will lead a small team of engineers while also being hands-on in the code. You will set the technical direction, own the delivery of the matching platform, and partner with Data Science to move AI models into production. Strong coding skills in Python and experience with production APIs and backend services at scale are required.

• Own the matching platform end to end, including production AI matching services and public/internal APIs.
• Manage and grow a small team of engineers, running planning, one-on-ones, and career development.
• Partner with Data Science to move AI models from research into reliable, low-latency production services.
• Comfort working close to AI/ML systems: serving models, evaluating quality, and reasoning about latency and cost
• Clear communication and a genuine interest in growing the engineers around you
• Staffing, recruiting, or HR tech experience is a plus
• Strong hands-on coding skills in Python, and the judgment to know when to build, buy, or simplify
• Experience designing, shipping, and operating production APIs and backend services at scale
• A bias for shipping, backed by strong habits around code review, testing, and AI-assisted development
• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with around 2 years leading or managing other engineers
• Familiarity with a stack like ours: Python on AWS, infrastructure as code with AWS CDK, asynchronous services over SQS, and Postgres (with VectorChord for vector search)
