Software Engineering Manager

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Engineering Manager (Core Workspaces) based in United States.

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll lead a team building the systems that power modern, agentic software development environments.

• Lead, develop, and grow a software engineering team within the Core Workspaces organization, creating clarity around priorities, expectations, and technical direction.
• Set and communicate technical direction across agent harnesses, integrations, developer workflows, and workspace capabilities.
• Remain technically engaged and contribute to architecture, implementation, and important engineering decisions.
• Evolve systems for agent execution, tool use, context management, streaming, and long-running workflows.
• Extend provider-agnostic architecture so the platform can adapt as AI models, capabilities, and technologies evolve.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to translate emerging agent capabilities into intuitive, valuable developer experiences.
• Improve reliability, performance, scalability, observability, and operational excellence across agentic systems.
• Coach engineers, support career development, provide technical mentorship, and raise the overall engineering bar.
• Navigate ambiguity and complex technical tradeoffs while maintaining strong execution across multiple priorities.
• Collaborate across engineering teams and functions to build scalable solutions and maintain alignment around architectural goals.

• Demonstrated experience managing and growing software engineering teams while maintaining a high standard for technical execution.
• Strong hands-on software engineering background with React and TypeScript, combined with experience developing backend systems in Go.
• Practical experience building systems involving LLMs and agentic workflows, including model APIs, tool calling, context management, agent loops, or related technologies.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems and the architectural principles required to build reliable, scalable software.
• Working knowledge of AWS and modern cloud-based development environments.
• Strong technical judgment, problem-solving ability, and comfort making decisions in ambiguous and rapidly evolving environments.
• Proven ability to mentor engineers, develop technical talent, and create a culture of ownership and accountability.
• Experience with coding agents, developer tools, or cloud development environments is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with MCP, agent tools, multi-agent systems, remote execution, sandboxing, or isolated compute is a plus.
• Experience creating abstractions across multiple AI model providers is advantageous.
• Deeper experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, or Linux is beneficial.
• Open-source contributions or direct customer-facing engineering experience would be an advantage.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with Product, Design, Engineering, and other stakeholders while communicating complex technical concepts clearly.

• Competitive Canada-based compensation of CA$132,000–CA$179,000, depending on level, role, and location.
• Equity opportunities.
• Bonus opportunities.
• Fully remote work environment.
• Opportunity to work on advanced AI development infrastructure and agentic software systems.
• Collaborative environment with individual contributors, engineering managers, and senior technical leaders.
• Strong opportunities for technical leadership, mentorship, and professional growth.
• Work across a modern technology stack including Go, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, and GitHub Actions.
• Inclusive workplace committed to equal employment opportunities and a diverse workforce.
• Interview process designed to be transparent, consistent, and efficient, with an expected timeline of approximately two to four weeks where scheduling allows.
