Engineering Manager, Dotmatics

• If you're a technically strong engineer who also genuinely enjoys growing the people around you — mentoring junior engineers, resolving friction before it becomes conflict, and building a team that does its best work — this role was written for you
• We are looking for people with at least 10 year experience with at least 5+ years of experience building production web applications (full stack) and 3 in a mentorship/leadership role
• Strong Node.js skills and familiarity with the broader JS/TS ecosystem (npm, yarn, bundlers)
• Experience architecting and building REST and/or GraphQL APIs
• Advanced HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; strong TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with React and component-based architecture
• Familiarity with React frameworks such as Next.js or Gatsby
• Comfortable with relational and non-relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
• Knowledge of modern deployment practices: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines
• Security-conscious: you think about auth, data protection, and attack surfaces as part of normal development
• Experience with application performance monitoring and observability tools (e.g. Sentry for error tracking, Grafana for logs and system metrics)
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted or agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot Workspace, or similar)
• Ideally, experience going beyond autocomplete — using agents for code generation, refactoring, test writing, or multi-step task automation
• A natural mentor: you get genuine satisfaction from seeing junior engineers level up
• A good listener: you make space for other perspectives before forming conclusions
• Calm under pressure and skilled at navigating disagreements — between people or between competing technical approaches
• Strong written and spoken English: you can explain complex technical ideas to both engineers and non-engineers
• Research shows us the confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting outstanding candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply — we’d love to hear from you
