We don’t just need an Engineering Manager — a deep understanding of software engineering, can challenge technical decisions, coach engineers, improve engineering practices, and create an environment where teams consistently deliver meaningful outcomes. Do you enjoy building strong teams, have a strong Java engineering background , want to stay close to technology, and can turn ambitious product goals into reliable execution?

You won’t be a solo operator. You’ll collaborate with Product Managers, Engineering leaders, Principal Engineers, Platform, AI/ML, Security, and other stakeholders across WorkMotion bringing everything together to ensure consistency, impact, and momentum across the board.
You'll have the opportunity to solve technically and operationally complex problems at the intersection of global employment, payroll, compliance, automation, and AI, while helping shape how our Engineering organization operates as WorkMotion continues to grow.
Where Responsibility Meets Real Opportunity…
Lead, coach, and develop a team of software engineers, creating clear expectations and supporting their professional growth.
Own the team's delivery, execution, and engineering health, ensuring commitments are realistic and risks are identified early.
Partner closely with Product to translate business priorities into clear, executable technical plans.
Maintain strong technical awareness and actively participate in architecture, design, and engineering discussions.
Ensure appropriate engineering practices around code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, security, and documentation.
Drive predictable delivery while balancing feature development, technical debt, scalability, and platform reliability.
Work with Principal and Senior Engineers on architecture and complex technical decisions.
Use engineering metrics and qualitative signals to continuously improve team effectiveness, quality, and delivery.
Identify dependencies and blockers early and coordinate effectively across teams.
Build a strong culture of ownership and accountability where engineers own their work from design through production.
Support hiring, onboarding, performance management, career development, and succession planning.
Contribute to broader Engineering initiatives and continuously improve how we build software at WorkMotion.
