Netbox Labs Engineering Manager at NetBox Labs leads a squad of engineers, staying hands-on with code reviews and design discussions. The role involves driving execution, owning the software development lifecycle, and fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

Lead a squad of engineers day-to-day while staying hands-on: reviewing code, jumping into design discussions, and occasionally shipping code yourself to unblock the team or model best practices.
Drive execution relentlessly — break down ambiguous problems into clear plans, set sprint goals, remove blockers fast, and hold the team accountable to deadlines.
Own the software development lifecycle for your team's projects, from planning and design through implementation, testing, and release.
Run effective sprint planning, stand-ups, and retros using GitHub and internal tools, helping engineers break work into well-scoped, executable pieces.
Champion modern, secure software development practices and keep quality bars high without slowing the team down.
Partner closely with product managers to translate customer and community problems into shippable plans, pushing back with data when scope or timelines don't add up.
Coach and mentor engineers individually — give direct, timely feedback, help them grow technically, and build a strong bench for future hiring.
Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing within the team.
Act as a liaison between your team and the broader tech community, supporting open-source contributors and guiding community-facing initiatives where relevant.
Report progress transparently to engineering leadership, flagging risks early rather than after they've become problems.
Stay close enough to the code and the architecture to make credible calls on technical trade-offs, while trusting your engineers to own the details of implementation.
Director of Engineering to coordinate cross-functional initiatives and ensure your team's work runs smoothly in our commercial products.
