Engineering Manager

Tailscale, Remote (Canada) +1

The role

We’re seeking a talented and motivated full-time Software Engineering Manager to join our growing team. You will work as part of the engineering team to:

Provide guidance, mentorship, and career development for a team of software engineers.
Contribute toward the success of our Product organization which includes Engineering, Product Management, and Design. We operate in Pods of 2-4 engineers plus a Product Manager and Designer, and each Engineering Manager handles 2-3 such Pods.

Pods work across the codebase to implement features, address shortcomings, and answer customer requests.

Provide technical direction in projects as needed, as well as growing the technical leadership capabilities of the engineers reporting to you.
Help in growing the organization: interviewing and recruiting, guiding the development of the engineering culture, developing processes as we grow.

Because we’re an early-stage and fully remote company, we’re looking for a motivated individual who can help move the product forward. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate with highly technical teams, and comfort working asynchronously are essential.
