Engineering Manager - Platform & Engagement Join to apply for the Engineering Manager - Platform & Engagement role at Secure Code Warrior Are you an engineering leader who believes a world-class product is built on a rock-solid, scalable, and delightful core platform? Do you see the critical link between a seamless user journey—from login to daily engagement—and a company's success? Are you driven to build and scale not just software, but high-performing, empowered engineering teams? If you're ready to lead the team that forms the bedrock of our entire product, SCW is looking for you. We're seeking an Engineering Manager to be a "force multiplier" for our Platform and Engagement squad. This isn't a role for a hands‑off manager; it's for a pragmatic and empathetic leader who will grow and guide the team responsible for the most critical parts of the SCW user experience. You will be instrumental in setting technical strategy, mentoring a talented team, and ensuring the reliability and scalability of our core platform. This is your opportunity to lead, innovate, and build the foundation for our future in a fast‑paced, high‑impact environment. In this role you will: Lead, mentor, and grow a high‑performing team of engineers, fostering a culture of psychological safety, operational excellence, and continuous learning. Drive the technical and architectural strategy for the core platform, ensuring our systems (built with TypeScript and JavaScript) are scalable, reliable, and secure for the long term. Partner with product and design leaders to shape the roadmap for critical user‑facing features, from authentication and user management to product trials and integrations. Empower your team by running effective team rituals, removing blockers, and ensuring alignment with company goals, operating with a high degree of autonomy to drive project success. Coach and develop engineers on their career paths, elevating the team's capabilities through architectural guidance, constructive feedback, and by championing modern engineering best practices. Take ownership of the end‑to‑end delivery for the Platform and Engagement domains, directly impacting user acquisition, retention, and the overall quality of the SCW experience. Who you are: A seasoned engineering leader (7+ years of experience) with a strong software engineering background and a proven track record of managing and growing engineering teams. You possess a strong technical foundation in modern web development, with deep expertise in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, and can confidently guide architectural decisions and mentor engineers. A natural "force multiplier" who measures success by the team's impact and growth, not just your own contributions. An empathetic and effective leader who excels at building inclusive, high‑trust environments where engineers can do their best work. An excellent communicator and strategic partner who can collaborate effectively with product, design, and other cross‑functional teams to deliver impactful results. You are pragmatic, thrive on taking ownership, and have a history of driving complex projects to successful completion. Why SCW? Own the Core: You won't be working on a satellite feature. Your team owns the critical path that every single user depends on, from onboarding to daily interaction. Foundation of Success: Build the scalable and reliable platform that enables every other team at SCW to innovate and succeed. Your work matters, deeply. Work with the Best: Be surrounded by a talented, forward‑thinking team that shares your passion for technology, quality, and user experience. Shape Our Platform and Culture: This is a pivotal role with a direct influence on our technology, our engineering culture, and our ability to scale. Grow as a Leader: We're committed to your professional development on a management and leadership track in a supportive, collaborative, and exciting environment.
