Overview

The Role

We’re looking for a sharp, self-motivated, problem-solving Engineering Manager to come on board and lead software engineers.

You’ll join a group of 4-8 software engineers, a product manager, and a designer to tackle everything from huge company initiatives to modest but important bug fixes, from start to finish, in an area of the product. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Managing the software engineers in your group, including coaching and career development.
• Ensuring the successful execution of your group’s projects.
• Working alongside your group’s product manager to make sure projects build value, drive real results for our customers, and ship on time.
• Helping our Engineering Department hire and retain amazing engineers.
• Optimizing our developer experience.
• Actively contributing to the evolution of the culture and processes for a growing engineering team.

Working At CompanyCam

Our engineering team is remote-first, spanning every time zone in the United States. We welcome people from all backgrounds and really don’t care whether or not you have a CS degree or even a high school diploma. All that matters is that you’re not an a**hole and you’re good at what you do.

Our Product and Engineering departments also do things a little differently.

We use a customized version of Basecamp’s Shape Up method (fused with empowered product teams a la Marty Cagan’s Inspired) to organize and execute our work. That means your group will work in 3 or 6-week cycles. During cycles, engineers spend most of their time implementing product improvements, but they also work with their group shaping (generating and vetting) product improvements for future cycles. After each cycle, groups will stop, reset, and choose to tackle another cycle or take a 1-3 week cool-down (a period of undirected work where they pursue educational opportunities, work on pet projects, or smash some bugs that have been nagging at them). Rinse and repeat until code nirvana.

Sounds nice, right? No sprinting, no scrumming, no death by 1,000 meetings. We protect our engineers’ time, treat them like adults, and trust them to get their work done. We’re also big on not overworking people. Put in your eight hours of focused, quality work and then TURN. SLACK. OFF. No nights and weekends.

Our larger company culture is also refreshingly chill. We have fun, learn from each other, and don’t take ourselves too seriously.

We cover the important stuff too. We pay well, offer unlimited vacation, meaningful equity, health insurance, and other benefits. This is a salaried position at CompanyCam. Our salary range is $170,000 – $185,000 and is based on experience.
