What the job involves
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Learn engineering team
- You'll be the people manager and technical leader for a small, talented team building our practice-first learning products - the newest and fastest-growing part of CodeSignal's platform
- This is a hands-on technical leadership role
- You'll stay close to the team: reviewing PRs, guiding architectural decisions, and providing clarity
- As a manager, you will also coach your engineers, remove blockers, and partner with Product to make sure the team is delivering the right features at the right time
- High-growth product: Learn is our newest product area with strong momentum since launch
- Consumer-facing and relatable: This is a product regular people choose to level up their skills. You'll build something your friends and family can actually try
- Meaningful AI: We're using AI in ways that genuinely help people learn, not just as a buzzword. You'll work on hard, interesting problems at the intersection of AI and education
- Both dimensions of leadership: This role blends technical leadership with people development. If you want to grow as both a technologist and a manager, not just pick one lane, this might be the role for you
- Small team, clear impact: Our team is tight-knit. You'd work directly with the leadership team, and your decisions would matter to the success of the business
- Run regular 1:1s with your direct reports and support their career growth
- Hire, onboard, and develop engineers as the team evolves
- Create an environment where engineers can do their best work
- Handle performance management with candor and care
- Own technical direction for the web platform
- Review code, guide architectural decisions, and maintain high engineering standards
- Jump into the codebase when needed to guide or unblock the team
- Partner with Product and Design to shape what we build and how we build it
Our take
CodeSignal offers an AI-evaluated, plagiarism-sensitive coding assessment, certification and candidate interview platform that allows companies to quickly pre-screen thousands of potential employees while tackling hiring bias.
The company’s call to action is to empower hiring teams to look "beyond resumes”, which are infamously scan-read for only seconds. The knock-on effect of this is that the best talent often gets overlooked, and the hiring process becomes biased towards details like the university a candidate attended, previous experience, or geographical location rather than their technical abilities. In addition to this, the platform also helps individuals cultivate the skills they need to level up.
CodeSignal’s offering has become popular among some of the tech industry’s biggest names, with companies like Netflix, Capital One, Meta, and Dropbox all using its skills assessments to pre-screen candidates. As the tech industry comes under increasing pressure to remove bias from its hiring process and increase diversity, the value of a CodeSignal platform is only set to go up, especially as AI tools become more accepted within the workplace.
