The Opportunity

Engineering at Frame.io is about more than just writing code - it's crafting products that inspire creativity and allow our users to do great work. We care deeply about how our products are built, how they look, how they feel, and how they function.

We're looking for an engineering manager to lead our Search squad - a team of dedicated engineers working on our next-generation, search and secure workflow capabilities of our platform. Your squad will participate in cross-team initiatives, as well as own the upcoming work on search, custom fields, metadata, views and workflow features critical to our success as a business.

You'll have 3 main jobs:

• Empower the squad to be better at their jobs

• Lead the squad in building ambitious, best-in-class applications

• Help grow our engineering team and culture

Additionally, you’ll directly contribute to codebases with your feedback and provide mentorship through pair programming. To provide additional space for technical growth, each quarter you’ll pick one week to cancel all your meetings to code. We call these Manager Hack Weeks and it’s an integral part of our management culture.

Success in this role means leading the team to craft the best work of their careers.

What You’ll Do

• Be a great leader and teammate - we create amazing products by working together

• Facilitate a squad of highly effective web and backend engineers. Coach them. Provide technical mentorship. Unblock them. Celebrate them. Help them expand their impact each and every day

• Advocate for engineering excellence and contribute to architecture and high-level structure of our applications

• Rapidly form action plans to align workstreams across squads, ensuring squad needs are appropriately accounted for and eliminate communication gaps

• Partner closely with engineers, product, design, user insights, and QA to help shape, sequence, and lead the squad’s engineering work

• Provide technical leadership to the engineers and be accountable for the technical decisions made on the team

• Grow, educate, and retain a successful team with a high delivery cadence in an agile environment

• Co-own the strategy for the squad with your product and design partners and senior partners

• Help drive culture and process improvements across our engineering organization with guidance to the broader company

What You’ll Need To Succeed

• A love of full-stack engineering, technical leadership, people management, product design, and using exceptional products

• Experience planning, implementing and delivering projects with multiple engineers, and multiple squads. You’ve taken ideas and turned them into reality

• A strong desire to foster a working environment that’s enriching, inclusive, and safe, where people of all backgrounds and identities feel welcome

• Experience working across a full web application stack. You understand a spectrum of technologies at varying degrees of expertise. We use React, Next.js, Apollo Client, Typescript, GraphQL Codegen, and Styled Components on the frontend and Elixir, Postgres, OpenSearch, Redis, and AWS on the backend

• Experience leading people, including providing formal and informal feedback

• Passion for collaborating with design from concept to production, and helping engineers to do likewise

• Track record of delivering beautiful and performant software, including a strong sense of clean animations and flexible layout

• Proficient in developing secure, hardened code

• Eager to innovate on performance with load optimizations, pre-fetching, and animation
