Product Engineering Manager (Remote)

We’re a marketing software company that serves small business owners, primarily financial advisors, and insurance agents. About 40,000 small businesses use our tools to build websites and send out our content. Generally, these businesses don’t have marketing departments but are growth-minded enough to know they need to market themselves. 

We help them do just that. We work together to create beautiful website designs, automated marketing tools, and award-winning educational content for them. The end goal is to help them build better relationships with their clients with less hands-on effort.

FMG started over a decade ago and now has 300+ (and growing!) employees spread out across the globe. We embrace a fast-paced, results-oriented culture, and focus on a healthy work/life balance. We value collaboration and open, thoughtful communication. We believe work should be both engaging and challenging, mixed with a good sense of humor. 

Our goal is to invest in motivated, successful individuals and watch them succeed both inside and outside of work. We’re building a winning team of A+ players and we hope you’ll be next to join us. 

At FMG, we believe in the wholehearted acceptance of each other regardless of our differences. We strive to foster an environment that allows everyone to contribute to our mission in their unique ways. With the belief that diversity propels innovation, we are continually finding ways to cultivate a commitment to diversity and inclusion in our employees, services, and products, as well as in the communities in which we live and work.

Our ideal candidate is an experienced engineer able to guide how we build products, systems, and teams. As a manager on a remote-first team, a few general characteristics are very important:

• Good communicator - You are the communication conduit and advocate for the teams
• Servant leader - You lead by example and are willing to do the work to make others better

You are excited to contribute to our culture of iterative development, team collaboration and our fun, positive, professional work environment.  

We believe in a healthy work-life balance. We believe work should be both fun and challenging.

• This role generally boils down to 3 responsibilities: People, Process, and Technology. The most important is investing in people so they can be their best selves, learn and grow, and be given every opportunity to succeed. Sometimes that means changing processes to make continuous improvements, removing roadblocks, or leading a project to automate something that was manual. You’re not afraid to go deep into technical problems to help engineers create better solutions and deliver value to our customers. This role in particular is the bridge between the US-based product and engineering resources and our teams offshore located in Vietnam. Flexibility in evening hours to dedicate to video calls is vitally important (though not every evening).

• Strong understanding of multiple coding languages (C#, Node JS preferred)
• Experience improving the SDLC of teams to make them more efficient and effective (Agile, Kanban, CI/CD)
• Ability to bring clarity from chaos without knowing all the details
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
