Engineering Manager

About the Role
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing engineering pod
at GoComet, building critical platform capabilities that power our logistics
transformation. This is a hands-on leadership position where you balance direct team
management, strategic technical decision-making, and owning the delivery of features
that serve 300+ global enterprises, including Fortune 500 clients.

Key Responsibilities
✅ Strategy & Technical Leadership
● Build and lead a high-performing engineering pod responsible for critical platform
capabilities.
● Define technical strategy, architectural patterns, coding standards, and system
design principles aligned with business OKRs.
● Drive technical roadmapping and break down complex requirements into
well-scoped sprints.
● Ensure systems are designed for reliability, scalability, and performance with
strong observability practices.
✅ Delivery & Execution
● Own quarterly OKRs and feature delivery timelines; maintain visibility into team
velocity, blockers, and progress. Be accountable for customer outcomes,
business capabilities shipped per engineer, system reliability, and operating cost.
● Identify and mitigate technical risks early; communicate dependencies and
trade-offs proactively.

● Define sprint cadence, conduct planning and retrospectives, and drive
continuous process improvement.
● Ensure smooth integration with DevOps, QA, and deployment pipelines; own
quality gates for releases.
👥 Team Building & People Leadership
● Hire, onboard, and retain a high-performing engineering team; conduct technical
interviews.
● Lead team rituals: sprint planning, code reviews, retrospectives, and design
reviews.
● Coach engineers on technical growth, career development, and leadership
potential.
● Conduct regular 1-on-1s, provide feedback, and foster a culture of ownership and
learning.
🤝 Cross-Functional Collaboration
● Partner with Product, Design, QA, DevOps, and other engineering pods on
priorities and technical constraints.
● Communicate proactively on technical decisions, blockers, and resource needs.
● Advocate for engineering needs while balancing business priorities and delivery
timelines.
💻 Technical Contribution
● Write and review production code as appropriate; maintain technical credibility.
● Unblock engineers on debugging, architecture decisions, and technical
problem-solving.
● Lead by example in code quality and operational excellence.

Requirements
Experience & Technical Expertise
● 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with 3+ years in engineering
leadership.
● Proven track record leading engineering teams in high-scale SaaS or enterprise
software environments.
● Experience in document extraction/including OCR, invoice / form parsing or LLM-based extraction. RPA, integrations or support experience alone won’t qualify.
● Strong foundation in backend systems: database design, API architecture,
distributed systems, and scalability.
● Hands-on experience with modern tech stacks (Python, Java, Go, Ruby); ability
to code-review and mentor across languages.
● Deep understanding of testing practices: unit, integration, end-to-end, and
performance testing.
● Experience with CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and production observability.
● Demonstrated experience redesigning engineering workflows using AI agents
and verification controls, with measured productivity gains. Familiarity with AI
tools alone is insufficient.
Leadership & Collaboration
● Proven ability to build, scale, and retain high-performing engineering teams.
● Strong project management skills: breaking down requirements, estimating effort,
managing multiple initiatives.
● Excellent communication across technical and non-technical audiences.
● Experience defining technical strategy and making architectural decisions with
pragmatism and long-term thinking.
● Proven cross-functional collaboration with Product, Design, QA, and DevOps
teams.
Soft Skills & Mindset
● Ownership mindset: Take end-to-end accountability for pod outcomes and
proactively solve problems.
● Customer-centric thinking: Understand how your pod's work impacts customer
experience and business goals.
● Adaptability: Comfortable in fast-growing startup environments; flexible and
iterative approach to processes.
● Systems thinking: Aware of how your pod connects to the broader platform and
cross-team impacts.
● Relentless commitment to quality and technical excellence.

Ideal Candidate
You're a technical leader and builder of teams who understands that great engineering
requires both velocity and reliability. You care deeply about system design and code
quality, and you're relentless in pursuing technical excellence while unblocking your
team to move fast. You thrive in collaborative environments and are equally comfortable
pairing with an engineer on a complex bug or presenting technical trade-offs to
leadership. You mentor with intent, hire with rigor, and build cultures where ownership
and continuous learning are non-negotiable
