Job description

Engineering Manager

We're seeking an exceptional engineering manager to join our small and growing team. This isn't your typical EM role. We're looking for a senior engineer who also knows how to lead. You'll coach and mentor our engineers, make architecture and security decisions, and help us build the fastest engineering team on the planet.

Who You Are :

You're a top-tier engineer with leadership experience who thrives in high-velocity startup environments. You've built and scaled products, you bias towards action, and you're excited about creating an environment where engineers can ship quickly and confidently. You might be :

  • A seasoned engineer who has already stepped into an EM role.
  • An ex-founder who built and shipped product to real users.
  • A startup tech lead who wants more ownership across team and architecture.
  • A pragmatic builder who prefers velocity over perfection.

What Makes You Perfect For This Role :

  • Engineering leadership : You've led and coached engineers, helping them grow and move faster.
  • Deep technical expertise : You bring strong architecture instincts and solid security knowledge.
  • Startup DNA : You've built in early-stage environments where speed and ownership mattered most.
  • Velocity mindset : You thrive on iteration, delivering end-to-end value quickly and learning from feedback.
  • AI-first : You're bullish on AI, and comfortable with vibe-coding (AI-assisted development).
  • DevX focus : You know the impact of great developer experience and love creating best-in-class environments.
  • Execution focus : You spot and solve engineering problems early monitoring, observability, performance are always on your radar.
  • Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for a role if they don't have experience in 100% of the requirements outlined in a job description. Please know that even if you don't have experience in all the areas above, but think you could do a great job and are excited about shaping company culture, finding great people and building great teams, we'd love to hear from you!

    What You'll Do :

  • Mentor, coach, and unblock engineers helping the team level up every day.
  • Drive architectural and security decisions that balance speed with long-term health.
  • Champion developer experience build systems and workflows that keep us moving fast.
  • Own engineering velocity set the standard for iteration speed and impact.
  • Take responsibility for application reliability and SLAs.
  • Collaborate across product and design to deliver rapid, end-to-end iterations.
  • Establish a culture where iteration >
  • perfection, and shipping fast is celebrated.

    How We Work At Lightdash :

  • We build in public, by default. We're an open source product, so having shared context is important so that people can contribute effectively to Lightdash. As a team, we also think that we make the best decisions when everyone has a lot of the same information. We don't oversell and under-deliver : we want the experience of using Lightdash to be as awesome as the experience we're selling.
  • We challenge problems, not people. We ask ourselves "why" is this broken?" not "who" is breaking this?"
  • We're highly collaborative. We're a group of people that are happy working independently, but love being part of a team. We not only work on problems as a team, but we also listen to the feedback from our community and our users. We invest in tools and processes that allow us to do this, even while fully remote.
  • We bias towards impact. We'd rather build something to 80% and get it in front of users so we can iterate on fast feedback than build something to 100% just to find out it's not the right thing. We spend a lot of time thinking about how our work solves real user problems. We work on the highest impact problems even if they're something a bit "out of your remit".
  • Our Tech Stack :

  • Primary : TypeScript, React, Node, SQL
  • Frameworks : Express, React-hooks, Redux, RTK, Mantine
  • Infrastructure : Docker, GCP, Kubernetes, Tracing, Prometheus
  • While familiarity with our stack is helpful, we value your ability to learn and adapt over specific technical experience.

    We believe that to build a product that works for a diverse group of people, we need a diverse team. So, we strongly encourage candidates of all different perspectives, experiences, backgrounds and identities to apply. We're committed to hiring people regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or disability. And once you join us, we're committed to building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best work of your career.
