We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Core Product Experiences team, working in Santiago, Chile. The Core Product Team at Front owns the heart of the application: our familiar-feeling but super-charged inbox where customers can triage and route incoming conversations, chat with their teammates to solve complex inquiries, and craft high quality replies. In this role you will manage the existing team of talented engineers to deliver on an ambitious roadmap, guide the team through technical decisions, scale this team by attracting and hiring talented engineers and obsess about making the team and their processes scale efficiently. This is also a very collaborative role where you will interface with other engineering managers and teams in other locations.

What will you be doing?

• Drive and deliver on our product roadmap, working with your team to turn 1-pager specs into features

• Grow your teams by coaching developing engineers and by attracting and hiring top talent

• Obsess about the architectural design, implementation and quality of the work your team produces

• Partner cross-functionally with Product and Design to innovate and execute product initiatives across the company

• Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Front’s engineering management team

What skills and experience do you need?

• Engineering management experience that includes effectively recruiting, mentoring, and retaining great people

• Strong track record of running teams that deliver projects of significant complexity and high level of ambiguity

• A strong product mindset and the ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, collaborative, low-ego and high-growth environment; you work well with all kinds of personalities and with teams across multiple geographies

• Clear, structured thinking and excellent communication skills

• Understand the trade-offs in employing different engineering solutions to a problem, valuing pragmatism over idealism

Bonus:

• Experience working in NodeJS or React
