About this role

As an Engineering Manager at Scribe, you’ll be at the forefront of building and scaling a product that transforms how people document and share knowledge. You’ll lead a high-performing full-stack team, tackling complex technical and product challenges in a fast-moving environment. Beyond shipping code, you’ll shape Scribe’s engineering culture, drive technical excellence, and contribute to company-wide strategy as we scale.

We work with a variety of technologies, particularly React, NextJS, Django, Postgres, and AWS. While experience with these technologies is helpful, we value adaptability and a willingness to learn just as much.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the technical vision, leading the team to build scalable, reliable, and elegant solutions.
• Own product outcomes, working closely with product, design, and business leaders to ensure we're solving the most important problems.
• Architect processes that scale, balancing speed and stability as the company grows.
• Drive execution, ensuring the team consistently ships high-impact, high-quality products in a fast-paced environment.
• Challenge and inspire the team with bold goals that create measurable impact for the company and our users.
• Raise the bar, fostering a culture of technical excellence, rapid iteration, and continuous improvement.
• Be a force multiplier, hiring, coaching, and mentoring a high-caliber, diverse team of engineers.

You could be a great fit if

• 3+ years of experience leading and scaling high-performing engineering teams in fast-growing startups or similarly dynamic environments.
• Strong technical background (10+ years overall experience), with the ability to dive deep when necessary but also operate at a strategic level.
• Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain world-class engineering talent, fostering a culture of ownership, learning, and impact.
• Thrive in ambiguity—able to drive clarity, alignment, and execution even when navigating the unknown.
• Obsessed with impact—you constantly push yourself and your team to achieve more, focusing on outcomes over output.
• Relentlessly curious and always improving—you believe there’s always a better way and challenge the status quo.
