About the role

As an Senior Engineering Manager at Crunchtime, you are responsible for the health and output of one or more engineering teams. This role requires a balance of short-term delivery and long-term investment in people and architecture. We look for leaders who are "system thinkers" - individuals who can navigate technical complexity while maintaining an empathetic approach to team leadership.

What you’ll do as a Senior Engineering Manager:

• Manage 1–2 teams (approx. 4–10 engineers total). You own the full talent lifecycle: hiring, retention, professional development, and performance management.
• Work as a strategic partner to Product Management to balance new feature development with the technical debt and maintenance required to keep the platform stable.
• Lead design reviews, ensure code is scalable, and keep the team focused on simple, pragmatic solutions.
• Use Agile practices to deliver value in small, frequent cycles, maintaining tight feedback loops with customers, product, and quality teams.
• Enforce high standards for TDD, CI/CD, and automation to maximize velocity and maintain confidence in our releases.
• Facilitate discussions to remove blockers and keep the team moving toward sprint goals.

What we’re looking for

• A seasoned player/coach with high EQ who shapes team culture through empathy and can still provide deep technical guidance when needed.
• An experienced engineer who values simplicity and pragmatism, implementing the right technical solution for the current problem without over-engineering.
• A leader who favors giving the team context over exerting control, ensuring everyone understands the "why" so they can own the "how."
• A mentor who has built diverse teams, developed career plans, and knows how to provide the frequent, direct feedback needed to win as a team.
• A natural builder who is passionate about engineering excellence, from code review culture to high test coverage and automation.

Nice to haves

• Demonstrated experience managing engineering teams.
• Demonstrated software engineering experience in a modern tech stack.
• High level of mental focus for technical problem-solving.
• Proficiency with Jira, Slack, and Zoom.
• Background in developing enterprise-grade web products at scale or managing distributed systems.
• Experience with mobile development or hardware integrations (mobile devices/embedded hardware).
• Familiarity with DevOps best practices and experience managing remote or distributed teams.
• A track record of contributing to open-source projects or building great relationships with coworkers in the past.
• An interest in the specific technical and business problems we’re solving in the hospitality industry.

What you’ll get

• Great mission-driven team members from diverse backgrounds with a strong company culture
• Competitive pay
• Flexible PTO
• Paid company holidays
• Yearly team off-sites
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits (FSA, HSA & HRA options)
• Basic & Voluntary Life Insurance
• 401k employer match
• Wellness benefits
• Commuter benefits
• Work in an open environment on solutions that are reshaping the way businesses operate
• Fun team events
• Ability to have a big impact
• 10 weeks of paid parental leave
• Fitness reimbursement
• Learning & development funds
