Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of success managing engineers, with a track record of growing engineers to the next level
- 8+ years in web systems development
- Strong technical judgment: making sound architectural decisions, managing technical debt, and upholding high engineering standards
- Hands-on experience implementing AI-driven features in production
- Experience developing AI fluency in engineering teams
- Excellent communication: you understand that effective communication is critical to success and you translate technical concepts clearly for diverse stakeholders and keep projects moving
- Proven experience hiring and developing talent
- Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working in an early- to mid-stage startup environment where ambiguity and pace are part of the fun
What the job involves
- We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers focused on increasing the number of fleets on the Coast platform. You'll partner directly with Product and Design to ship high-impact capabilities that move critical business metrics
- This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set technical direction, coach engineers by engaging with their real work, lead by example, and raise the bar on how the team operates. You will have the opportunity to help shape a fast-growing engineering organization
- Own delivery for your team — keep engineers unblocked, motivated, and focused on the work that drives Coast forward
- Partner with Product and Design to drive measurable business outcomes by defining and shipping the best-in-class fuel and fleet spend user experience, and public APIs
- Provide technical leadership by engaging with architecture, implementation, and engineering fundamentals
- Coach and develop engineers through close attention to their actual work
- Build AI fluency across your team, modeling its use in your own workflow, setting expectations for how engineers engage with AI-assisted development, and identifying where AI features can create durable product leverage for Coast's customers
- Build a healthy, high-performing, inclusive team culture, and hire in a manner that perpetuates excellence
- What success looks like in 6 months
- Your team ships predictably against clearly defined roadmap commitments
- The business metrics owned by your team are tracking at or above projections
- You have re-engineered how software gets built so AI becomes part of the operating model; code production, review, testing, and delivery are meaningfully restructured around it
- There is a high degree of trust and clarity within your team and amongst its stakeholders
- You have grown at least one engineer into a tech lead role
Our take
In recent years, companies like Ramp, Brex, Divvy, and others have emerged to provide easier ways for companies to allow their employees to pay for job-related expenses through corporate cards. However, none of these services really work for businesses operating automobile fleets, approximately 10% of B2B card spend in the US.
That’s where Coast comes in, offering a modern card issuing expense solution specifically built for fleets. The Coast card meets the demands of fleet-specific controls, security, and visibility, contributing to preventing fraud and unauthorised use. Its platform allows fleet managers to visualise spend, block or flag transactions for review, and set their own rules for cardholders.
With back-to-back funding rounds awarded in 2024, Coast has been focused on expanding its team and the platform’s capabilities, offering a wider range of financial products - including parking, maintenance, and other on-the-road expenses on top of just fuel. Its Visa Fleet card program, which enables Coast Visa Fleet cardholders to make payments wherever Visa is accepted, makes it an attractive option in the market as fleet management continues to modernise.
