Senior Engineering Manager - Creator Platform

Remote
Medium's mission is to help people deepen their understanding of the world and discover ideas that matter. We are building a place where ideas are judged on the value they provide to readers, not the fleeting attention they can attract for advertisers. We are crafting the best place for reading and writing on the internet — a place where today's smartest writers, experts, and storytellers can share big, innovative ideas.

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead Medium's Pogs (Pubs and Blogs) team, where you'll lead a team of engineers that builds the core publishing platform - which impacts the millions of readers and creators.

You'll have the opportunity to grow and inspire a team of talented engineers, work collaboratively to define team roadmaps, and ultimately enable the team to perform and execute to its full potential. We prioritize fast iteration without compromising quality, while maintaining an attention to detail that leads to the kind of thoughtful user experiences that we're known for.
