Software Engineering Manager
Location: United States
Department: Engineering
Lob was founded in 2013 by technical co-founders with a vision to connect the world one mailbox at a time. Today, we're transforming the way businesses use direct mail and bringing the power of technology to a traditionally manual channel.
Our modern logistics and fulfillment engine helps businesses to build and scale high-quality, personalized direct mail programs without the operational burden. As we grow to meet the evolving needs of our customers and expand our product offerings, we’re building a team to shape the future of direct mail.
As a Software Engineering Manager, you will:
- Partner closely with the Product team and other key stakeholders to help implement new features and services customers love
- Be responsible for leading engineering projects from design to implementation, and into ongoing operation
- Coach, mentor, grow, and support your direct reports
- Work with other Engineering leaders to support and grow the culture of our engineering team
- Own the performance and outcomes of your team, shipping high quality products and features
What you will bring to this role…
- 2+ years of experience managing high performing software engineering teams in a fast-paced, SaaS startup environment
- Full-stack (database, backend, and frontend) experience in a modern technology stack. You were an experienced software engineer before becoming a manager.
- A “move fast, take action” mentality. We have a very successful product and our customers have high expectations for their mail quality. Meeting their expectations sometimes requires us to quickly adapt and learn and implement new technologies.
- Experience leading teams of engineers on technical projects. We’ll want to hear how your teammates developed and grew under your leadership.
- Deep knowledge of at least one mainstream programming language, including being able to write, read, and understand code in that language. We primarily use Node.js and Go at Lob.
- Experience with modern practices related to testing, QA, DevOps, CI/CD, observability, and service ownership
- Ownership of mission critical services, and working with teams responsible for on-call rotations supporting production customer workloads.
- Great communication skills. You should be able to explain your approach and the impact of your work to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a way that is clear to all.
- Experience building technology in the supply-chain / logistics industry is a plus.
