- 2+ years of engineering management experience
- 5+ years of full-time professional software engineering experience, with web or mobile application engineering experience preferred
- Clear and effective written and verbal communication, with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Availability to work US Pacific hours

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 and interview platform designed to help companies pre-screen candidates more effectively while reducing bias. Its core proposition - looking "beyond resumes" - addresses a long-standing issue in hiring, where CVs are quickly judged on proxies like education, experience, or location rather than actual ability. However, as AI reshapes the workplace, the problem is no longer just bias but that traditional credentials are becoming weaker signals of real-world capability.
In response, CodeSignal is evolving beyond a hiring tool into a bridge between education and employment. By partnering with universities, it integrates skills assessments directly into coursework, allowing students to build verifiable records of competencies alongside their degrees. This reflects a broader shift in employer expectations, rather than asking where someone studied, companies increasingly want clear evidence of what they can do, especially as AI tools become central to everyday work.
This shift is also being driven by economic pressure, with some employees hiring fewer entry-level candidates and expecting faster productivity, graduates must demonstrate job readiness early, while universities face growing scrutiny over outcomes. In this environment, CodeSignal's ability to benchmark skills against real data positions is more than a screening platform, its becoming part of the infrastructure that defines and validates talent in an AI-driven labor market.
