Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.
We are continuing to grow our leadership team, and currently are hiring an Engineering Manager for our Password Manager team.
As Engineering Manager for one of our user-facing Password Manager teams, you will lead and empower one of our most prominent development teams at 1Password. Reporting to the Head of Password Manager Development, you will help craft our vision and make it a reality through creative engineering and identifying required solutions to hard problems.
You will be responsible for tactical execution by the team, helping to coordinate activities such as cycle planning, design reviews, and project planning. You will also be responsible for hiring and coaching world-class talent for your team.
An ever-increasing number of individuals, families, and businesses are using 1Password every day, and 1Password needs to scale accordingly. Come help us make it easier than ever for those people to get started!
This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.
What we’re looking for:
- At least 3 years experience in a role where you were responsible for managing a team of software engineers and everything that comes with it.
- You have significant hands-on development experience (preferably in the app space) and have engineered your way out of many complex, unscoped problems. Having lived the life of a senior developer before, you leverage your own experience to coach and train up the developers on your team.
- You have successfully coordinated and delivered large scale projects before that touched multiple areas of the business, product, or underlying architecture.
- The ability to create and maintain a positive, healthy team environment in which everyone is supported, encouraged, and meaningfully challenged to do great work. You motivate and inspire others. After meeting with you, people get back to their job with more energy. You are a force of positivity and lift people up when they need it.
- You enjoy having the freedom and responsibility to make final decisions on most everything for your team. Handling tough problems gives you energy and you can make the hard decisions even when there isn’t much information to go on.
- You are someone who is ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work themselves on technical challenges.
- You are capable of driving the delivery of projects, and creating roadmaps for future work.
Bonus for:
- Experience managing remote and distributed teams.
- User experience/design background
- Experience in the SaaS B2B space
What you can expect:
- Manage engineers and develop engineering leads. Foster an environment of innovation, execution, and collaboration.
- Work to scope and plan key deliverables for projects and initiatives with the team.
- Drive execution with an emphasis on iterations and deliverables, quality, velocity, and communication.
- Provide technical leadership to developers both in your team and across the engineering organization.
- Grow a team of strong engineers to create an inclusive workplace.
- Continue scaling a highly specialized engineering team by working with a team of Engineering Managers to continuously refine hiring, onboarding, and development processes.
Even if you don’t tick all these boxes, we want to hear from you. We understand that everyone’s experiences are unique.
The most important thing you can bring to this job is the drive to dive in, get the work done, and fix root causes instead of treating symptoms. We believe in continuous learning and support professional development on the job with a budget to back it up. If you bring a desire to do the right thing for our customers, a sense of ownership over the product you work on, and a focus on shipping quality code, we want to hear from you.
