Hi, I'm Matt, Director of Mobile Engineering at Customer.io.

I'm looking for an Engineering Manager to join our growing Mobile Engineering team. As an Engineering Manager for Customer.io, you will work with Leadership and your peers to shape the engineering culture and process as Customer.io continues its growth in 2023 and beyond.

We have an experienced group of engineers, strong technical leads, a proven architecture, and a track record of delivering major improvements with stability.

While your influence is important across the entire engineering organization, your most important responsibilities will be to build structure around people management, career guidance, working structures in our squads, and overall project management.

We are seeking product-minded, empowered individuals who work collaboratively with their peers on interesting problems, and get those solutions into the hands of customers quickly. We value diversity, attracting the best people in the world to serve as colleagues. Our flexibility and freedom to work from anywhere in the world enables you to craft a work environment in which you can do your best work.

As an Engineering Manager at Customer.io, you will...

  • Own and grow our suite of mobile SDKs.
  • Empower the engineers in your team to succeed by identifying how to measure success and mentor them on how to achieve those goals.
  • Champion our culture. We strive to be inclusive, cooperative, and empathetic.
  • Recruit and hire new team members, with an emphasis on increasing our diversity.
  • Improve our processes, and identify gaps in how we work.
  • Work directly within your squads to create accountability for delivery timelines, promote healthy work culture, and ensure quality in new product features.
  • Initiate, influence, and drive technical projects within your squad to ensure our solutions are scalable, architecturally sound, flexible, secure, and that technical debt is incurred consciously and repaid in a reasonable time
  • Be an advocate for our vision of a great product team: Product Management defines problems and outcomes, while Engineering & Design define the solutions.

We're looking for someone who...

  • You’re passionate about the creation of developer tools and the open source communities that support them.
  • You’re genuinely excited about managing and developing people. While you started as an engineer, you're committed to management as your career path.
  • Ideally you've had an opportunity to manage reports remotely, but this is not a requirement.
  • You have a strong technical foundation in mobile application development platforms and frameworks.
  • Product-minded with a proven track record of leading high-performing product engineering teams.
  • Located in the EMEA time zones

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
