The opportunity
We’re hiring an experienced Engineering Manager to lead Dashboard, the team helping customers get more value from the WorkOS suite and helping WorkOS grow as a business. We’re looking for a leader who is excited to manage engineers, but approaches the role as a startup founding member would.
What you'll do
Build and lead a high-velocity team that ships product fast and with polish: across growth, monetization, and developer assistance.
Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, and work with technical leads on architecture and project scope.
Shape the roadmap in close partnership with product managers, design,: go-to-market, finance, and engineering. Bring your own product perspective, identify opportunities, and drive product decisions directly where needed—from defining the problem and choosing an approach to measuring the outcome.
Help the team improve the customer journey from signup to production and: expansion, using product signals and customer feedback to choose what to build next.
Balance rapid product iteration with the reliability and correctness: customers need from billing and the quality they expect from AI assistance.
Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out.
What they're looking for
- Track record of having successfully led product-focused engineering teams in: high-performing organizations that shipped real impact.
- You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands: dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back.
- Bias for action and scrappiness: You don’t over-optimize for process. You optimize for velocity, customer value, and learning.
- You deeply care about the developer experience. You think about UX, APIs, performance, edge cases, and joy.
- You ask "why" obsessively, and you push yourself (and your team) to learn constantly.
- You build trust, give direct feedback, and create space for engineers to thrive.
- You have experience partnering with internal recruiting teams to drive: effective and fair hiring processes. You realize that recruiting is a large and important part of your role, and have a track record of recruiting, hiring, and mentoring top engineering talent.
- You’re a strong product thinker who connects customer needs, technical: possibilities, and business outcomes. You collaborate well with product managers and are comfortable driving product decisions yourself, using customer insight and evidence to make tradeoffs and build alignment.
