They are digitally invisible, as there’s little to no data available on who they are, their career history, or their skill set, limiting their access to professional opportunities and growth. We're here to transform this by building the infrastructure to make Frontline Workers visible.\nOur first step to achieving our mission is to transform the recruiting experience into an easy, human and fair process, for both candidates and companies with high-volume job openings.\nEmi, our main product, is an A.I. recruitment assistant that enables companies to engage in a conversation with each applicant to detect interested and qualified individuals while saving Recruiters a huge amount of time by automating tasks such as screening, validating skills, scheduling interviews, and collecting documents.\nWe were part of Y-Combinator 's Winter 2019 batch and in 2022 we have raised an $11M funding round co-led by Merus Capital and Khosla Ventures.\nAbout the team\nEverything at Emi works around helping frontline workers access better professional opportunities. Our Recruitment Product organization builds the core product that powers that journey end to end, from a candidate's first interaction through interview and hire. You'll lead three small, focused product engineering teams (around 7 engineers total) that own different parts of that journey.\nWhat you'll be doing\nYou'll lead and grow the people across three product engineering teams, while working closely with Product to shape and execute the roadmap for the recruitment product. You'll be part of the Engineering leadership team, partnering cross-functionally to translate business priorities into team-level execution, and making sure each team has the technical support it needs (via tech leads and architects) to move fast without you having to be the deepest technical expert in the room.\nTasks / Activities\nLead and grow small product engineering teams, owning people management end to end: 1:1s, feedback, performance, and career development for every engineer.\nPartner closely with Product to translate priorities into roadmap and execution, and represent your teams' constraints and trade-offs back to stakeholders.\nCoordinate dependencies and unblock work across your teams and the rest of Engineering.\nActively surface knowledge concentration and technical debt within your teams, and drive them to resolution, partnering with tech leads and architects on the hardest technical calls.\nOwn hiring for your teams end-to-end, from defining needs against the roadmap to closing offers.\nChampion a data-driven engineering culture, establishing key metrics for delivery, quality, and team health, and using them to guide prioritization and decisions.\nDrive adoption of AI tools across your teams: use them yourself to increase your own leverage, and help your engineers build AI-native habits into their day-to-day work.\nSample Projects\nImproving recruiter productivity by building recommendations and bulk actions that let them manage hundreds of candidates at once\nDesigning and launching a new attraction-phase experience for applicants, instrumented like a marketing funnel so we can measure and optimize conversion from first touch onward\nBuilding resilient integrations with external client systems and job boards\nScaling interview scheduling and coordination across high-volume clients\nWhat we're looking for\n5+ years of experience leading engineering teams, with a proven record of building and growing high-performing teams\nExperience managing multiple teams or workstreams at once\nComfortable partnering with senior tech leads and architects without needing to be the deepest technical expert yourself\nStrong product sense and ability to partner with business stakeholders and manage up\nTrack record of growing engineers' careers through direct, actionable feedback and real development plans\nUsing AI tools as a core part of your work.\nDefault to data over anecdote: comfortable defining, tracking, and acting on metrics to prioritize, evaluate team health, and make calls.\nWhat we offer\n Competitive salary: Salaries paid in USD\n Stock Options: Stock Options Package as part of your compensation package\n Flexible remote-first work culture. We work towards goals*\n Vacations: 3-weeks of vacation.\n Paternity leave: 4 weeks of paid paternity leave\n Holiday season: Week off between Christmas and New Years' eve\n Physical Wellness program: we have partnered up with Gympass, a wellbeing platform that offers the best coverage of top gyms, studios and activities for you to choose from.\n English Classes: Improve your English skills with our in-company teachers.\n Internal library: Get all the free books - digital, physical - you like, anytime.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4899,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Argentina","iso":"AR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["HR & Recruiting AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-19T15:35:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":69,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":0.8,"age_days":71,"expected_fill_days":1270,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/emilabs-engineering-manager-recruitment-product","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/emilabs-engineering-manager-recruitment-product.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T17:24:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5910,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":32284},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=32284"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Femilabs-engineering-manager-recruitment-product"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Femilabs-engineering-manager-recruitment-product"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Femilabs-engineering-manager-recruitment-product"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/emilabs-engineering-manager-recruitment-product\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Femilabs-engineering-manager-recruitment-product"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":91200}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"emilabs.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":91200},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
