Engineering Manager

We are a software company with a clear goal: to make life easier for busy professional photographers. We are a fully remote team working from 15 countries across 4 continents. Now, we are looking for a new Engineering Manager to join our engineering leadership team.

We want someone who does more than just manage engineers. We are looking for a person who also wants to add real value to our software and help it grow.

We enjoy working with talented people. You may wonder why you should work with us.

Your Role

You will report to the Director of Engineering. You will lead 1–2 independent product teams, with 8–13 engineers in total. The engineers will report directly to you.

Your Main Priorities

• Reliable Delivery – You help teams deliver value regularly. You are responsible for processes and workflows, and you spot problems early before they slow the team down.

• Move to AI Tools – You lead our move to an AI-supported development process. You test new tools (like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex), choose what works best, and help the company use them in daily work.

• Team Health and Growth – You take part in hiring, reviews, and career development. You handle difficult conversations and help people grow in line with company goals.

• Engineering Metrics – You use data to understand how teams are doing and how to improve, not just to create reports.

How We Work

We release updates every day and work together mainly through Slack.

• Async-first work – Most communication happens in Slack threads. Meetings are only used when needed. The main shared time is 8–10 a.m. Pacific Time to connect with US leadership.

• Small and frequent releases – We use simple processes like same-day code reviews, trunk-based development, and easy deployments with feature flags.

• Learning culture – We provide a Udemy subscription and a budget for AI and developer tools to support learning.

• AI support – You get a monthly budget for AI tools you like. We also use AI helpers for summaries and data, but people always make the final decisions.

• Autonomy with clear goals – Teams set their own quarterly goals and choose how to reach them.

Benefits

• 🌍 Work from anywhere with a stable internet connection. Our team works from many countries around the world.

• 🕙 Flexible schedule – You work mainly with European hours and keep the 8–10 a.m. Pacific Time window open about 2–3 days per week for leadership meetings. Outside of meetings, you can plan your day around your life and energy.

• 💰 Competitive salary, based on experience.

• 📈 Growth rewards – Annual bonuses for company results and a profit-sharing program if the company is acquired.

• 🏝 22 paid days off per year, with flexibility to make up missed days.

• 👶 Paid parental leave.

Qualifications

Required:

• Experience managing fully remote engineering teams (at least 2 teams, 10+ engineers).

• Experience in a SaaS product company with a product-focused approach.

• Strong technical background and understanding of architecture and trade-offs.

• Strong people management skills, including hiring, feedback, reviews, and difficult conversations.

• Organized, self-driven, and reliable.

• Experience with at least one modern AI development tool.

Nice to Have:

• Experience introducing AI-based development processes.

• Experience using engineering metrics in a healthy and useful way.

• Experience working in small or medium-sized companies with high ownership and low bureaucracy.

Not a Good Fit If:

• You have no experience managing fully remote teams.

• You have no real experience with product-led SaaS.

• You cannot work during the 8–10 a.m. Pacific Time overlap about three days a week.

About Us

We know that many professional photographers are frustrated by the amount of admin and business work they must do. This often takes time away from their creative work and, for some, even makes them quit their dream career.

That is why we build simple, time-saving software that helps photographers run their businesses more easily. Our goal is to give them more time to focus on creating art.

We started the company in 2010, founded by two wedding photographers who understood these problems first-hand. They wanted to save time, earn better income, and have a better life. Technology became the answer.

We believe that by building a great product and offering honest service, we can create a business that helps people and grows successfully at the same time.

Our long-term vision is to support over one million photography businesses. We want photographers to simply upload their photos, while we take care of the rest. We believe in autonomous teams, meaningful work, and a healthy work-life balance.
