Responsibilities
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead one of Cartesia's core engineering teams as a hands-on technical and people leader. You'll build and grow a team of 7+ engineers, own its technical direction and execution, and stay close enough to the work to provide meaningful technical leadership when it matters.
Build, lead, and develop a high-performing engineering team through hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development.
Own your team's roadmap, decisions, and outcomes, setting clear priorities and driving a high and predictable shipping cadence.
Provide technical leadership across architecture, design reviews, complex technical problems, and production incidents.
Develop a deep understanding of your team's systems and technical tradeoffs so you can challenge assumptions, make sound decisions, and unblock the team.
Partner closely with Product, Research, and other teams to set direction and deliver against company priorities.
Ensure the systems your team owns scale ahead of the business while maintaining a high bar for performance, reliability, and engineering quality.
Given the scale and difficulty of problems we work on, we value managers who combine exceptional people leadership with strong technical judgment.
Experience managing and developing high-performing engineering teams, including coaching, performance management, and career growth.
Strong technical depth and engineering judgment, with the ability to earn credibility with experienced engineers and engage deeply in architecture and technical decisions.
A track record of leading teams to deliver complex technical projects in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
