Are you excited to own the delivery and strategy for a major product area and see the direct impact of your teams' work on customers?

If this sounds like you, we're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a significant part of our engineering organization at Expel. You'll be a leader of leaders, responsible for multiple teams that are building the future of our products. You won't just be managing projects; you'll be shaping strategy, growing talent, and fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation.

At Expel, we’re on a mission to make security easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to continuously improve. As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will be at the heart of our product delivery, ensuring your teams are building the solutions that help us protect our customers.

What Expel can do for you

• Give you ownership and autonomy over a significant product domain and the teams that build it.
• Provide a clear opportunity to have a strategic impact, partnering with senior leadership to define the future of your product area.
• Surround you with a dedicated and passionate leadership team that is invested in your success and growth.
• Empower you to build and shape high-performing teams, and to grow the next generation of technical leaders at Expel.

What you can do for Expel

• Lead, mentor, and grow an organization of talented engineers and engineering managers, creating a supportive and high-performance culture.
• Own the end-to-end delivery of your product roadmap, ensuring your teams are shipping high-quality software that delights our users.
• Partner with your product and design counterparts to set the vision and strategy for your domain.
• Champion operational excellence, ensuring the systems your teams own are scalable, reliable, and secure.
• Be a key member of our engineering leadership team, contributing to the health and success of the entire engineering department.

What you should bring with you

• A deep passion for people leadership and a track record of building and developing successful engineering teams.
• Experience managing other engineering managers is highly desirable.
• The ability to be a strong strategic partner to Product and Design.
• A strong, hands-on technical background with senior-level experience in Go and/or Python. You're not afraid to dive into the details, and you're comfortable participating in code reviews, technical design discussions, and even writing code when it helps the team move forward. Familiarity with modern data engineering concepts and technologies (ETL/ELT, APIs, Postgres, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, etc.) is a major plus.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Typically 8+ years of industry experience, with at least 3+ years in an engineering leadership role.
