We're seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our engineering teams through the real challenges of client work: not just shipping software, but building trust, driving outcomes, and making clients genuinely successful. At Bit Complete, technical excellence is necessary but not sufficient. This role is for someone who understands that the client relationship is part of the product and who holds themselves and their team to that standard.
You'll operate in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment where context is often incomplete, priorities shift, and success depends on your ability to move quickly, make sound decisions, and close gaps without waiting for direction. The best fit for this role is someone who naturally identifies what is missing and steps in to fix it.
Responsibilities:
- Lead, manage, and grow a high-performing team of software engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and raising the level of the people around you.
- Set clear expectations, give timely feedback, address performance gaps directly, and create opportunities to stretch people.
- Own technical strategy and architectural decisions across client engagements, evaluating tradeoffs between different approaches and guiding teams toward solutions that balance client outcomes, scalability, maintainability, and speed.
- Collaborate closely with partners and clients to translate their goals, constraints, and priorities into clear technical direction.
- Manage project timelines, resources, and risks with a no-surprises standard.
- Champion engineering best practices across coding standards, AI-assisted development, code reviews, testing, observability, and operations.
- Help engineers at every level understand the gap between where they are and where they're going.
- Represent Bit Complete in client settings with clarity, confidence, and consistency.
- Proactively identify gaps in systems, processes, or execution and take initiative to resolve them.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8+ years of relevant industry experience, with at least 5 years directly managing software engineers.
- Strong technical acumen across software architecture and development.
- Proven track record leading engineering teams through complex, ambiguous environments.
- Demonstrated high agency.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to bring clarity to technical decisions for non-technical audiences.
- Experience managing client relationships directly.
- Comfort operating in environments where requirements evolve.
- Experience with agile methodologies and a genuine commitment to continuous improvement.
