Senior Manager, Software Engineering
As a Manager, you will be a key driver in building features and platform stability into Markforged’s cloud-based 3D printing solution. You will be responsible for entire feature sets and the people delivering them: decomposition of requirements, hands-on implementation, cross-team coordination, and the career arc of a team of strong engineers. You will have a growth mindset, accelerating engineers’ career progression and hiring more team members.
This is a player/coach role. Markforged strongly values individuals who use, understand, and love our product, and want to see their efforts actively being used by their customers. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of hands-on experience for managing and maturing teams, and with a “ship often” mindset.
What will you own?
- Manage and grow a team of 3-7 experienced engineers responsible for building full feature sets
- Drive technical decisions and be accountable for the delivery of solutions on initiatives they own
- Work with engineers across the company to build new features at large scale
- Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes
- Plan for the growth of Markforged's infrastructure
Important Note:
Although we list out what we generally look for, we are very likely missing other attributes and skills that you have that could make you a great fit, but are not currently listed. Research has shown this especially applies to women and other marginalized groups, who tend to apply if they check 100% of every box, versus men who apply if they hit roughly 60%. The point we’re getting at, it doesn’t hurt to take a chance and apply!
What you have:
- 3+ years experience in Engineering Management
- 5+ years experience in leading the design, execution, and shipment of high quality features with strong Computer Science fundamentals
