Missions
- Lead teams of fullstack engineers in building core product surfaces for restaurant owners, from self-serve launch journey to website design.

- Foster a strong, durable engineering culture across two strategically important product areas, ensuring high performance and engagement.
Profil recherché
- Today, most restaurant owners lose an enormous amount of time and trust just getting live on Owner and getting a website that actually represents their brand, instead of running their business- Launch owns the self-serve journey that takes an owner from Grader all the way to POS - engineering the automation and trust signals that let owners opt into each next step without needing a person to walk them through it
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager who cares deeply about the craft and the team behind it - someone who's led full-stack engineers building customer-facing product end-to-end, and who's excited to build a strong, durable engineering culture across two of our most strategically important product areas
- These two teams sit at the center of Owner's product-led growth motion this year - systems directly in the critical path for how independent restaurants activate, launch, and show up online
- . Websites owns the design, builder, and AI-powered generation systems that put a restaurant's brand online, closing the customization gaps that drive churn and increasing the number of high-quality sites we launch
- Strong product sense and an instinct for balancing speed, quality, and user impact
- A track record of leading high-performing, engaged full-stack engineering teams - not purely backend-platform or purely frontend teams
- Experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g. React) and backend systems (e.g. Node.js)
- A plus: experience applying LLMs or agents (research, enrichment, next-best-action, automated diagnosis)
- High degree of cross-functional collaboration - past colleagues in product, design, and business would speak highly of your teamwork
- A plus: growth or PLG experience (self-serve activation, onboarding, upgrade flows) - desirable, not required
- ~3 years of experience in a software engineering management role leading fullstack product engineering teams, preferably in high-growth environments
