Engineering Manager - Product (Remote)

We started Super.com to help maximize lives-both the lives of our customers and the lives of our employees- so that everyone can experience all that life has to offer. For our employees, our promise is that Super.com is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to unlock one's potential, where learning is celebrated and impact is realized.  

We are more than a fast-paced, high-growth tech company; we care about our people and take career progression seriously. This is your career and our aim is to supercharge it through the people, the work, and the programs that fuel who we are.

Super.com engineering has three full-stack development focus areas: travel, fintech, and a superapp that unifies travel and fintech along with several other savings and earnings use cases. Our dozens of microservices and event-driven architecture handle thousands of requests and events per second, ingest over 1TB of data per day and process over $1MM per day in sales, while maintaining a 99.9+% uptime. We have 80 engineers across our teams, and our biggest selling point is our focus on supporting our engineers' career growth, whether that's as a technical contributor or people leader.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead one of our full-stack engineering teams. In this role you will directly oversee 3-5 full-time engineers, and the team has 1-2 engineering interns. You will predominantly work with React on the frontend, and a combination of Python and Node microservices on the backend. Other technologies you'll work with include Gitlab, AWS, Postgres, Redis, Datadog, Amplitude, and Snowflake. You will work closely with a Product Manager, Product Designer, QA and work in an agile, fast-paced environment (that respects work/life balance). You will report into a Director of Engineering.

We're looking for highly-motivated self-starters who share our excitement for growth and impact. The ideal candidate will be interested and able to implement and oversee a team of full-stack engineers (frontend, backend, databases) working with React, Python, and Node. In addition, the candidate is a strong communicator (both technical and non-technical topics), interested in continuous learning, and looking forward to working in a scaleup environment with an emphasis on delivering business value. The ideal candidate is interested in a 30:30:30:10 split between technical leadership : team management : people management : individual contributions. Finally, the ideal candidate is an empathetic people leader, is highly collaborative, is data-driven, is scrappy, and loves to ship impactful code with rapid iteration.
