Company mission
To make creativity easy, fast and fun. Air rethink traditional cloud storage, and make it easier for companies to get from a brainstorm to the final deliverable.
Role
Who you are
- You have 10+ years experience working at software companies shipping high-quality code to real-world customers
- You’ve led high-performing engineering teams and still enjoy being close to the code
- You know how to turn broad goals into scoped, actionable projects
- You bring clarity in the face of ambiguity and bias toward shipping
- You care deeply about people, communication, and building healthy teams
What the job involves
- We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead our core product pod — a fullstack team responsible for shipping the next generation of functionality to all of Air’s users via our web application
- You’ll report directly to our VP of Engineering
- You’ll manage 6-8 engineers and work closely with product and design to ship features, scale systems, and keep the team unblocked. You’ll communicate daily with cross-functional leaders on sales, marketing, customer success and our co-founders
- This is a hands-on leadership role. We’re looking for someone who’s not afraid to dive in — reviewing PRs, writing tech specs, and shipping code when it helps the team move faster
- In this role you’ll focus on:
- Execution – Drive delivery across projects, clarify priorities, and help the team stay focused and unblocked
- Technical leadership – Guide architecture and technical planning; raise the bar for quality, reliability, and documentation
- People management – Support growth through feedback, career planning, and regular 1:1s
- Team culture – Build a collaborative, inclusive environment where engineers can do their best work

Our take
Every day, marketers waste countless hours organizing, finding, approving, and sharing content — this mindless work gets in the way of the creative process. Air's product automates these tasks, giving creators back time to do what they do best: create.
Air works as a cloud collaboration platform that negates the need to move items to and from the cloud when working with visual content. Teams can use the platform to search, review, and manage all their content in one place. Users can migrate their content from Dropbox or hard drives, and once all assets are in Air, the platform automates the work and keeps the library organized.
Air's 2022 round of funding from Tiger Global Group and Headline is being used to build out more product features and expand the team. Further, over recent years that has been a rapid surge in the cloud collaboration market, which is forecast to surpass $50 billion by 2025. Air is therefore operating well in a market that is expected to see significant growth.
