Company mission
To provide smart and simple software that runs, understands and grows auto repair shops.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for strong fundamentals and the ability to learn quickly
- 2+ years of formal engineering management experience, leading a team of software engineers through shipping production software
- A strong technical foundation — you've built and operated production systems and can earn credibility with senior ICs through your technical judgment
- Proven ability to coach and develop engineers across multiple levels
- High emotional intelligence and communication skills. You navigate ambiguity, give hard feedback with care, and build trust quickly — especially important in a remote environment
- Sound business judgment — you understand why the team is building what it's building, and you push back when priorities don't make sense
- Experience working in cross-functional product teams (PM, Design, Engineering)
- Comfort with remote-first work across time zones. You value flexibility but put team needs first
What the job involves
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager I to lead one of our autonomous feature squads
- You'll own the day-to-day engineering leadership of a cross-functional team (1 PM, 1 Designer, 4–5 engineers) responsible for a meaningful area of the Shopmonkey platform
- This is not a "project manager with an engineering title" role
- You are technical, you are in the code, and you care deeply about how software gets built — not just that it ships
- You won't be on the critical path for planned project work, but you'll be deeply involved in guiding your team through every phase of the SDLC: scoping, design, implementation, testing, release, and iteration
- Your job is to make your team faster, sharper, and more effective — by coaching, unblocking, and identifying the gaps nobody else sees
- You'll also contribute directly to the codebase
- Not as a primary feature developer, but as a force multiplier — proactively improving code quality, tackling the work that falls between the cracks, and leading by example when it matters
- Lead a feature squad end-to-end: people, process, and technical direction
- Own performance management for your engineers — regular 1:1s, growth conversations, honest feedback, and formal reviews
- Partner closely with your PM and Designer to shape quarterly project plans that balance customer value, technical health, and business impact
- Guide your team through the full SDLC — you should be competent and opinionated at every stage, from system design through production observability
- Contribute to the codebase as a technical force multiplier: filling gaps, improving quality, and modeling engineering standards
- Operate within our quarterly planning and 2-week cycle cadence, helping your squad maintain focus and predictability
- Build and maintain a healthy remote-first team culture — clear communication, strong async habits, and flexibility balanced against team needs
- Participate in hiring — sourcing, interviewing, and closing engineering talent for your squad and the broader org
Our take
The automotive repair industry traditionally requires a lot of paperwork associated with business management, vehicle certificates and other services. These elements are generally managed independently, and the mass of paperwork can become chaotic and difficult to manage.
Shopmonkey provides cloud-based management software specifically designed for auto repair shops. The software consolidates appointment scheduling, inventory and finances into a single digital platform. The aim of this service is to help streamline auto repair workflows and help speed up business growth.
Shopmonkey is trusted by over 4,000 shops, and are beginning to scale to personalize its services for bicycle, motorcycle and marine shops. The startup has recently formed a partnership with the Automotive Training Institute (ATI) to integrate auto repair training services into the platform.
