- 2+ years of experience in a software engineering managerial role, with a demonstrated understanding of the unique challenges and values associated with managing teams

What the job involves
- At OpenPhone, we're looking for an Engineering Manager who will lead a product engineering team to deliver results consistently and sustainably, for growing and developing talented engineers, and for cultivating a healthy, results-driven culture on your team
- You could lead one of these teams:
- Communication Team – Enhance messaging, calling, and internal collaboration tools used by customer-facing teams and their managers. We focus on the reliability of OpenPhone’s core systems while evolving features to drive productivity and seamless communication
- Growth & Trust Team – Craft experiences that engage and delight users from first signup to long-term retention. We work closely with support, sales, and marketing to make every step as self-serve and scalable as possible
- Connect Team - Seamlessly connect OpenPhone into the SMB tech stack by building strategic product integrations that enhance the customer experience, support acquisition, and unlock new growth opportunities
- Driving strategic initiatives: Work cross-functionally with other internal stakeholders to align engineering efforts with business goals and drive complex projects, ensuring that our solutions meet customer needs and enhance overall productivity
- Manage people: Guide and mentor engineers, foster a collaborative environment focused on continuous learning, manage performance, and support professional growth
- Technical guidance: Ensure the team has what it needs to make technical decisions, provide guidance on those decisions, ensure clarity of the problem space, and empower the team to own their decisions
- Enhancing products: Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build and improve our product
- Integrating AI: Spearhead the integration of AI technologies to optimize our product offerings
Our take
Business phones are a vital resource for many companies, but buying a second phone for your team can be an expensive prospect. Quo, formerly OpenPhone, solves this problem by replacing business phones with an easy-to-access app.
Quo leverages many of the advantages of a traditional business phone, allowing users to maintain work boundaries and privacy without the need for new, high-cost hardware. By specifically targeting people looking for a business phone number, Quo has attracted freelancers, small companies, contractors, and larger companies ready to modernize their existing phone systems.
Though there are competitors in the space, Quo's unique approach allows it to stand out from the likes of Aircall and Airpad. The company has seen significant funding, which it is investing in accelerated growth efforts, hiring, and the further development of its collaboration features and business tool integrations.
