Company mission
Mattermost’s mission is to make the world safer and more productive by developing and delivering secure, open source collaboration software that is trusted, flexible and offers fast time-to-value.
Role
Who you are
- Ideally, you’re familiar with tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot, you can recognize what’s “AI shaped” problem and you know how to harness these innovations to unblock teams and push velocity to the next level
- 3+ years of experience in engineering management roles, plus 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in Go and/or React; familiarity with cloud-native architecture and distributed systems
- Experience managing high-performing teams in a remote-first environment
- Comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle in production-scale environments
- Demonstrated interest or experience using AI-assisted development tools
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, low-ego approach to problem-solving
- Passion for secure software practices, testing, and building high-availability systems
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a team of 6–8 engineers building core platform capabilities using Go (Golang) and React
- This is a player-coach role: you'll lead by example, helping shape architecture and best practices, while also focusing on team performance, mentoring, and execution quality
- As a technology-forward leader, you are passionate about developer productivity and deeply curious about the power of AI-assisted development
- Ideally, you’re familiar with tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot, you can recognize what’s “AI shaped” problem and you know how to harness these innovations to unblock teams and push velocity to the next level
- You’ll work closely with product, design, and QA to ensure smooth execution of our product roadmap and to meet the rigorous expectations of customers in highly regulated, mission-critical environments
- Lead a team of backend, frontend and mobile engineers focused on secure, scalable platform development
- Set clear goals and drive execution on team initiatives aligned with product and business objectives
- Write code and conduct code & architecture reviews regularly, especially in complex or high-priority projects
- Guide architectural decisions and technical design discussions across the team
- Mentor and support engineers in their technical and professional development
- Foster a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, and continuous learning
- Promote modern workflows, including AI-assisted tooling and automation, to improve developer experience and speed
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, QA, and other engineering teams
Our take
Internal collaboration tools that foster virtual working have never been in higher demand. The shift to virtual working environments have changed remote working forever. Mattermost's key product is well-positioned to meet this surge in demand: it is essentially a collaboration platform which offers secure messaging across web, desktop and native mobile devices.
It runs as a server install in your own data centre and can be accessed remotely or locked down so that it only runs internally. That’s a major benefit for any company that needs to comply with industry regulations. Hospitals, law firms, and even government agencies will be drawn to the enterprise-level security features that make the platform nearly impossible to access over the public Internet. This is what sets Mattermost apart from other collaboration platforms like Slack, Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Currently, Mattermost is powering messaging and collaboration for companies like Samsung, Daimler, SAP and Cigna. With solid foundations and a big prospective customer base, therefore, Mattermost is well set to achieve big things.
