As the Engineering Manager for the Autofill and Desktop Native teams at Bitwarden, you will lead two teams of talented engineers responsible for some of the most user-facing and technically demanding parts of our product. The Autofill team owns browser autofill and form detection, including the inline menu, context menu, in-browser notifications, and passkey prompts in the browser extension. The Desktop Native team owns desktop autofill and native OS integrations including the SSH agent, Autotype, native passkeys, and the DuckDuckGo integration.
These are high-visibility, high-complexity areas. Autofill must work reliably across an enormous variety of websites built with wildly different markup and form patterns, while maintaining the strict security boundaries required when handling sensitive credential data. Your engineers work at the intersection of browser security, DOM behavior, OS-level APIs, and cross-platform native development, and when something doesn't work, your users notice immediately. This role requires a manager who can hold technical complexity in one hand and customer empathy in the other.
Both teams are part of the Feature Engineering group. You will report to the Feature Group Lead.
This is an all-remote team and we are looking for someone located in the U.S. We do not offer visa sponsorship at this time.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Hire, develop, and retain a strong team of engineers across browser autofill and desktop native domains
Set and report on measurable goals and objectives for both teams

Serve as a calm, informed, and empathetic voice in customer-facing and community interactions, helping users understand what's hard about autofill and why, while advocating internally for fixes and improvements that matter most
Maintain a healthy, sprint-ready backlog by prioritizing bugs and tech debt alongside feature work and ensuring all items are well-defined with accurate descriptions, technical breakdowns, and designs prior to refinement
Serve as the primary liaison between your engineers teams and Design, Product, Architecture, and other engineering teams, fielding cross-functional questions and maintaining alignment on priorities
Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization to synthesize requests into prioritized, actionable work
Continuously identify friction points in team processes and develop solutions to improve efficiency, quality, and developer experience
