Medium’s mission is to help people deepen their understanding of the world and discover ideas that matter. We are building a place where ideas are judged on the value they provide to readers, not the fleeting attention they can attract for advertisers. We are crafting the best place for reading and writing on the internet—a place where today’s smartest writers, experts, and storytellers can share big, innovative ideas.

We’re looking for an Senior Engineering Manager to lead Medium’s Growth Platform team, where they’ll be responsible for guiding strategic initiatives to drive Medium’s reader, creator, and subscriber growth. They'll have the opportunity to grow and inspire a team of talented engineers, work collaboratively to define team roadmaps, and ultimately enable the team to perform and execute to its full potential. We prioritize fast iteration without compromising quality, while maintaining an attention to detail that leads to the kind of thoughtful user experiences that we’re known for.

At Medium, we are proud of our product, our team, and our culture. Medium’s website and mobile apps are accessed by millions of users each day. We’re looking for mindful, empathetic, and self-aware leaders to join our team and help us move thinking forward. With a strong focus on growth and personal development, Medium is the ideal place to develop your skills in an environment that is built on mutual trust and respect.

What will you do?

• You will lead a team that's focused on building out a foundational platform for growing Medium’s user base and business. You will be responsible for growing and inspiring this team of engineers through a combination of coaching, mentoring, feedback, and hands-on career development.

• You will help your team make smart technical decisions that balance both short-term and long-term goals.

Who are you?
