We’re seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead the engineers in our Core Platform team, ensuring they deliver on business goals while building scalable, high-quality systems that delight our customers. You’ll be responsible for holding engineers accountable, fostering a culture of technical excellence, and growing their skills. The role requires balancing business priorities with architectural integrity, avoiding short-term hacks, and ensuring investments align with long-term goals.

  • Ensure the team delivers on the team’s goals

  • Guide the team to build robust architectures while avoiding premature over-investments.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Hardware, Marketing, Design, Production) to align on priorities and unblock hurdles.

  • Foster engineer growth through coaching, feedback, and tailored development plans.

You might thrive in this role if you:
  • Have 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years managing engineering teams.

  • Have a proven track record of leading teams to deliver reliable, high-quality software systems in a fast-paced environment.

  • Are skilled in system design and architecture, with experience guiding teams to balance short-term needs with long-term scalability.

  • Have strong people management skills, with experience mentoring engineers and fostering career growth.

  • Excel at cross-functional collaboration, aligning diverse teams to achieve shared goals.

  • Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving execution in a high-stakes, outcome-driven environment.

  • Have experience with metrics-driven development, such as building dashboards or tracking KPIs like first-pass yield or bug resolution SLAs.

  • Are familiar with robotics or hardware/software integration (preferred but not required).

  • NodeJS/Typescript

  • C/C++

Compensation and Benefits:

The salary range for this role is $220,000 to $240,000, depending on experience. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
