Senior Engineering Manager, Revenue Growth

Paperless Post is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead and inspire a cross-functional engineering team as we build our best-in-class discovery and events management platform, connecting a global community of over 175 million hosts and receivers.  Experience with pricing, subscriptions, or growth experimentation is a strong plus, as this role leads our Revenue Growth team, one of the most impactful teams at Paperless Post.

As a key leader, you will oversee and develop a talented group of backend, frontend, full-stack, and quality assurance engineers, ensuring the team delivers high-quality, scalable solutions. You’ll partner closely with product managers to define goals, shape the roadmap, and continuously improve the way we work.

While you aren't required to write production code, you will play an active role in technical discussions, bringing their engineering background to help teams make thoughtful decisions. You'll foster an environment of collaboration, creativity, and growth while holding a high bar for delivery, operational excellence, and compliance.

A little bit about us

The Paperless Post Engineering team builds and maintains a product millions of people interact with each month. We value creativity, technical depth, and a thoughtful approach to problem-solving. As a primarily Go and React shop, we leverage modern cloud technologies to deliver fast, reliable APIs and rich user experiences.

The managers play a crucial role in enabling engineers and technical leads to focus on execution while driving alignment with business objectives. We foster a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, balancing immediate delivery with long-term sustainability.

About the Revenue Growth team

The Revenue Growth team owns how Paperless Post monetizes, everything from pay-as-you-go to our subscription business. We run experiments constantly throughout the full funnel, test and refine pricing models, and build systems to support payments and retention.  Because pricing and subscriptions are core to how Paperless Post grows, we’re especially excited to meet leaders who bring proven experience in this space.

What you’ll do here

• Be a subject matter expert: Bring hands-on experience in pricing and subscription systems. You'll guide how we evolve monetization, from designing and refining subscription tiers to running growth experiments across the funnel.
• Drive outcomes: Own delivery of strategic product and technical goals. Define success metrics, remove obstacles, and ensure consistent, high-quality execution.
• Partner with product managers: Collaborate to define, prioritize, and deliver a roadmap that balances user needs, business outcomes, and technical sustainability.
• Lead with technical insight: Participate in architectural conversations, push for technical excellence, and make sure decisions support long-term sustainability.
• Develop the team: Provide coaching, feedback, and career growth opportunities through regular one-on-ones and performance reviews.
• Raise the bar: Identify and implement improvements to team processes, quality standards, and velocity.
• Foster culture: Champion a collaborative, inclusive, and positive environment where engineers can thrive and do their best work.
• Unblock proactively: Model self-sufficiency by taking initiative, solving problems quickly, and helping the team move forward without unnecessary delay.

What you bring to the table

• A track record of leadership: You've managed and mentored engineers before, building an environment where people feel included, challenged, and supported.
• Engineering background: You've previously worked as a senior software engineer, ideally with a backend focus, before moving into management. This gives you the technical fluency to engage meaningfully in architectural discussions and earn credibility with the team.
• Technical depth: You may not be writing code every day, but you will engage in technical conversations, ask the right questions, and make sure decisions hold up over time.
• Full-stack understanding: You bring strong backend experience (statically typed languages like Go, distributed systems, APIs, cloud infrastructure) and comfort with modern frontend technologies (React, TypeScript).
• Growth and pricing expertise (strong plus): You've worked on subscription businesses or pricing initiatives before and understand the mechanics of monetization. You know how to pair data-driven experimentation (A/B tests, pricing optimizations, etc.) with technical insight to drive sustainable growth.
• Product partnership skills: You collaborate deeply with product managers and help shape a roadmap that balances user needs, business outcomes, and technical sustainability.
• Ownership mindset: You take responsibility for the team’s output, improve processes when you're not working, and keep a high bar for quality and impact.
• Self-starter: You're proactive, resourceful, and comfortable unblocking yourself and others, even when details are ambiguous.
• Strong communicator: You share context clearly and collaborate with empathy, building trust across engineering, product, and design
