# Engineering Manager

Dispel builds network isolation and access infrastructure for critical industries, where a breach is an operational failure with real-world consequences. Our customers include critical infrastructure operators, defense contractors, and industrial enterprises that hold their software vendors to an exceptionally high bar. The Senior Engineering Manager is accountable for making that standard real. This is a people-first, delivery-focused leadership role. You will manage 6-12 engineers across one or two teams, owning the full management lifecycle: hiring, onboarding, career development, performance management, and the hard conversations that come with it. As a direct report to the VP of Engineering, you will also co-own how engineering works at Dispel, participating in decisions about org structure, engineering-wide practices, and multi-quarter delivery strategy. Technical judgment is non-negotiable. You will read pull requests, join architecture discussions, and flag technical risk. You must understand what your teams are building to fully enable them. Engineering at Dispel is a collaborative effort and those that show up trying to get things done and help others will receive support
