We’re looking for an experienced and driven Engineering Manager to assist leading our talented engineers. You’ll build and execute product strategy, ensure all projects are completed on time, and foster an inspiring environment that allows the team to do amazing work. You’ll work directly with Workshop’s Engineering leadership team to help foster an ambitious and optimistic engineering culture. The ideal candidate has a strong technical background and the ability to lead fast-paced teams.
