Company mission
We want to enable a team of 10 to do what a team of 1,000 can do today. Motion is building the first end-to-end agentic work suite for everyday businesses.
Role
Who you are
- Operate with extreme ownership, high agency, and thrive in ambiguity: You can operate with high agency and deliver results even when thrown into ambiguity with incomplete information
- Have strong product intuition and judgment: You make good product calls with incomplete context and translate product intent into clear, executable milestones
- Drive operational excellence: You are highly organized, track progress closely, surface risks early, and create clarity and momentum
- Actively coach and level up engineers: You set a high bar, give direct feedback, and help engineers grow faster than they would elsewhere
- Bring exceptional work ethic, maturity, and resilience: You perform above expectations on our IC culture rubric and handle pressure and feedback without ego
- Have a strong technical background: You are technical in nature and can weigh in on complex tradeoffs
What the job involves
- We’re hiring an Engineering Manager who can lead and elevate a team of exceptional engineers, make key technical and product decisions, and deliver high-impact projects that help Motion scale the next two orders of magnitude
- This role is about owning Motion’s highest-impact, hardest problems—the ones that require judgment, speed, and resilience. We expect EMs to drive real outcomes while building a team culture that’s intense, collaborative, and uncompromising on quality
- We work hard to ensure Motion’s engineering team is one of the most talented in the world. We regularly accomplish in weeks what takes other teams months, and we take on projects many teams would consider impossible
- As an Engineering Manager, you’ll lead some of Motion’s most important work—setting direction, unblocking execution, and raising the bar for the entire team
Our take
Today's fast-paced digital world can make time management feel overwhelming, leading many smartphones to be filled with applications for to-do lists, calendars, and project management tools. The fragmented nature of these apps makes them time-consuming and frustrating to navigate, ultimately making them unsuitable for usage within professional workforces.
Motion provides an all-in-one AI-driven time management platform for businesses, facilitating the automation of daily task planning, task prioritization, and long-term scheduling. The AI technology also automates frustrating maintenance tasks normally associated with productivity apps such as the rescheduling of unfinished work, adding exceptions for weekends or time off, and recognizing when a user is falling behind on their schedule.
Whilst businesses have a plethora of productivity platforms at their disposal, Motion has been smart to apply AI to its software to reduce the amount of time users must spend manually using it. Through this approach, the company aims to bring the benefits of time-management platforms without their pitfalls, ultimately helping to keep workers on track and minimize missed deadlines, without requiring constant manual planning time.
