About this Role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager with 8+ years of experience to own the health, output, and trajectory of an engineering pod (~6, 8 engineers) at Loancrate, an AI-native Loan Origination System transforming the mortgage industry. You'll be a hands-on leader who still codes (10, 20% of your time), manages people with care and directness, and partners closely with Product and Technical Leads to deliver high-impact work in a complex, high-stakes domain.

What you need

Has managed (not just led) 5+ engineers with real people management experience, hiring, firing, PIPs, performance reviews
Hands-on TypeScript experience, must be able to pass a live coding interview in TypeScript (no language substitutes)
Progressive engineering career trajectory (SWE → Senior → Staff/Management), not just a title jump at a tiny startup
AI-forward mindset, comfortable using AI tools in engineering workflows and expects their team to as well
Startup or small-company experience preferred, candidates who have only managed at large corporations (1000+ employees) are a concern

What will you be doing?

Managing a pod of ~6, 8 engineers, running 1:1s, giving continuous feedback, handling hiring/firing, PIPs, and career growth
Owning your pod's execution cadence: planning, retros, delivery health, and surfacing risk early
Continuing to code ~10, 20% of your time, shipping 1, 2 PRs per week to stay close to the engineering experience
Partnering with Product Managers and Technical Leads on prioritization, architecture decisions, and cross-functional alignment
Onboarding new engineers effectively and keeping documentation and ownership boundaries sharp
