Engineering Manager, Product in Vancouver

Clarity is redefining how private companies and their shareholders access liquidity. Through its institutional-grade platform, Clarity brings together buyers, sellers, and issuers to facilitate secondary transactions in venture-backed, pre-IPO companies, introducing efficiency, transparency, and standardization to an otherwise opaque asset class. Recognized as one of Canada's fastest-growing companies and backed by leading U.S. investors, Clarity is profitable, well-capitalized, and building a high-performance team to meet growing demand and pursue new market opportunities.

As an Engineering Manager, Product at Clarity, you will directly manage two product engineering teams, including the Engineering Leads and IC engineers on each. Each team runs as a triad of a PM, a Designer, and an Engineering Lead; you won't replace that structure, but you'll own the people leadership, delivery oversight, and prioritization support that today sits with the Director. This is a player-coach role: out of the critical path on roadmap, but close enough to the work to give real technical feedback and occasionally get hands-on yourself.

In this role, your responsibilities would include:

• Owning people leadership for two engineering teams.
• Managing both Engineering Leads and IC engineers, including 1:1s, performance reviews, and helping each person take on more scope and grow their career.
• Acting as a technical leader across both teams–shaping architecture and technical direction alongside the Engineering Lead and bringing scrutiny to significant technical decisions.
• Partnering with the Director to lead and develop the broader group of Engineering Leads in the group.
• Driving prioritization discipline alongside each team's triad, championing ruthless scoping and incremental delivery of business value.
• Continuously assessing team effectiveness–delivery, health, and growth trajectory–and translating that read into action.
• Championing the health, stability, and operational rigor of the platform across both teams.
• Building and scaling the team through hiring as engineering grows.
• Championing AI-native engineering practices–staying personally fluent with AI coding tools and driving their adoption across the team.

Required skills:

• Extensive software engineering experience, with enough depth to genuinely evaluate your teams’ technical decisions.
• A proven track record managing engineers of different levels (including Staff) and different working styles.
• Strong IC experience building software at scale, preferably with Elixir, Ruby, or Typescript.
• Effective communication across both technical and business stakeholders.
• Strong track record as an engineer or manager during a period of rapid growth.
• Genuinely proficient with AI-assisted coding tools, with recent hands-on experience.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where you define the process, not just follow it.

Preferred skills:

• Experience in fintech, marketplace platforms, or other regulated software environments.
• Experience driving AI adoption as a team-wide process change, not just personal tool use.

Compensation:

Highly competitive compensation commensurate with experience and contribution.

Benefits & Perks:

• Opportunity to participate in ownership of a rapidly growing company through our employee stock option plan.
• Comprehensive 100% employer-paid health & dental premiums and a Health/Personal Spending Account for Canadian employees.
• If you are based in Vancouver, enjoy a dedicated desk in our Vancouver, BC HQ, in the heart of downtown.
• An engaging social calendar, including bi-weekly catered lunches, team workouts, annual summer party, and holiday party.
• Significant opportunities for growth into team leadership and management roles.
• Entrepreneurial culture and a small and dynamic team.
• Sponsorship, immigration, and relocation for exceptional candidates.
