Engineering Manager
Engineering Manager — Salesforge
Salesforge is on a mission to become the number one sales execution platform for organizations of every size.
We invented programmatic sequencing — a new category that combines seller data with buyer signals from across the web to personalize every outreach at any scale, in any language, powered by AI. We're not iterating on old ideas. We're building autonomous AI agents that book meetings with prospects on autopilot, and we're doing it fast.
Our team is small, senior, and moves with conviction. No corporate theatre, no slow consensus loops — just sharp people solving hard problems with real revenue impact. A Chief Revenue Officer once replied to one of our AI-generated emails calling it "email greatness." That's the bar we hold ourselves to.
We're now hiring an Engineering Manager to help us scale execution without losing the velocity that got us here.
What you'll do
- Lead one or more high-velocity backend engineering teams, owning delivery, team health, and execution quality end to end.
- Run 1:1s, coach engineers on growth and impact, and build feedback loops that keep people developing fast.
- Partner with Product to translate ideas into well-scoped technical tickets and milestones — reducing CTO dependency and enabling the team to plan with confidence.
- Drive planning rituals (backlog grooming, sprint flow, retros) and keep priorities aligned with business goals at all times.
- Guide technical design for backend services and APIs: review proposals, facilitate tradeoffs, and push for scalability and reliability as we grow.
- Contribute to our distributed systems work (SQS, RabbitMQ, Kafka) with a focus on resilience and operability.
- Ensure data models scale well across relational and document databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
- Build a culture of ownership, high code quality, and continuous improvement.
What we're looking for
- 3+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience — you can read code, challenge architecture decisions, and earn technical credibility with your team.
- 2+ years of experience leading engineering teams with real ownership of delivery and people.
- Excellent written and spoken English — you'll be coordinating across time zones and communicating with a senior leadership team.
- A genuine appetite for high-velocity startup environments — you thrive under ambiguity, move fast, and don't need process as a crutch.
- Ability to absorb large amounts of context quickly — our product surface is broad and growing, and ramp time is short by design.
Culture
We roll like a pack.
Execution is everything.
Good vibes are non-negotiable.
If you want to work on something that matters at real scale and you're tired of moving slow — give us a shot.
