YOUR MISSION
As Engineering Manager at Cosuno, you will lead a team of full stack engineers while staying deeply hands-on: you'll spend 60–80% of your time coding, reviewing, and shaping the architecture alongside your team. You are the kind of leader who elevates a team by example — writing code that sets the bar, and building an environment where great engineers do their best work.
Your mission might include:
- Leading a team of full stack and AI/ML engineers: coaching, regular 1:1s, growth plans, and hiring — while shipping product yourself every week.
- Owning the delivery and technical quality of your team's roadmap, working closely with your Product Manager to plan, de-risk, and execute.
- Contributing hands-on across our TypeScript stack (React + Node), from designing features to reviewing pull requests and tackling the hard problems yourself.
- Raising the team's technical bar through code reviews, architectural guidance, and best practices — including driving the adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows.
- Partnering with engineering leadership on team topology, processes, and the technical direction of our platform.
HOW WE BUILD: OUR ENGINEERING CULTURE
We believe in a calm, collaborative, and productive engineering environment. We trust our engineers and give them the autonomy to do their best work. Our approach includes:
- Agile & Fast-Paced: We practice trunk-based development with daily releases to get value into our users' hands quickly.
- Quality by Default: We maintain a comprehensive Cypress E2E test suite and enforce strict typing, linting, and formatting rules to keep our codebase clean and maintainable.
- DevOps Mindset: Our well-oiled CI/CD pipeline deploys to AWS via Kubernetes, with our entire infrastructure managed as code using Terraform.
- Collaboration & Transparency: We value open discussion, constructive code reviews, and a culture where the best idea wins, regardless of who it comes from.
YOUR PROFILE
We're looking for a player-coach: a strong engineer who leads people without giving up the keyboard. You'll be a great fit if you have:
- Extensive experience (typically 7+ years) in software engineering, with a proven track record of delivering complex, scalable web applications.
- Strong expertise in our core technologies (TypeScript, Node.js, React) and the ability to reason about the entire stack, from the database to the browser — and you still use it daily.
- Leadership experience — whether as an Engineering Manager or team lead with direct reports, or as a senior tech lead who has mentored engineers, led projects, and shaped how a team works.
- A genuine desire to keep coding: this role is 60–80% hands-on by design, and that's what excites you about it.
- A passion for growing people. You find joy in helping other engineers develop, in giving honest feedback, and in building a healthy, high-performing team.
- Bonus, not required: a good understanding of building…
