Interested in learning more about life at Hiive? Check out our careers page https://www.hiive.com/careers to see how you can grow with us! As an Engineering Manager, Product at Hiive, you will directly manage two product engineering teams — including the Engineering Leads and IC engineers on each. Each team runs as a triad of a PM, a Designer, and an Engineering Lead; you won't replace that structure, but you'll own the people leadership, delivery oversight, and prioritization support that today sits with the Director. This is a player-coach role: out of the critical path on roadmap, but close enough to the work to give real technical feedback and occasionally get hands-on yourself. In this role, your responsibilities would include: - Owning people leadership for two engineering teams. Managing both Engineering Leads and IC engineers, including 1:1s, performance reviews, and helping each person take on more scope and grow their career. - Acting as a technical leader across both teams–shaping architecture and technical direction alongside the Engineering Lead and bringing scrutiny to significant technical decisions, while the Lead retains day-to-day technical ownership, mentorship, and accountability. - Partnering with the Director to lead and develop the broader group of Engineering Leads in the group–and, as the team grows, with a peer group of fellow Engineering Managers. - Driving prioritization discipline alongside each team's triad, championing ruthless scoping and incremental delivery of business value. - Continuously assessing team effectiveness–delivery, health, and growth trajectory–and translating that read into action. - Championing the health, stability, and operational rigor of the platform across both teams, including participation in the management on-call rotation. - Building and scaling the team through hiring as engineering grows. - Championing AI-native engineering practices–staying personally fluent with AI coding tools and driving their adoption across the team. Required skills: - Extensive software engineering experience, with enough depth to genuinely evaluate your teams’ technical decisions. (This typically looks like 8+ years of hands-on experience, though we care more about demonstrated depth than a specific number.) - A proven track record managing engineers of different levels (including Staff) and different working styles. (This typically looks like 3+ years in a formal management role.) - Strong IC experience building software at scale, preferably with Elixir, Ruby, or Typescript. - Effective communication across both technical and business stakeholders. - Strong track record as an engineer or manager during a period of rapid growth. - Genuinely proficient with AI-assisted coding tools, with recent hands-on experience. - Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where you define the process, not just follow it. Preferred skills: - Experience in fintech, marketplace platforms, or other regulated software environments. - Experience driving AI adoption as a team-wide process change, not just personal tool use Compensation, Benefits & Perks: - Highly competitive salary commensurate with experience and contribution. - Opportunity to participate in ownership of a rapidly growing company through our employee stock option plan. - Comprehensive 10
