Engineering Manager, Compose
ABOUT THE TEAM
YOUR MISSION
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Lead, hire, and grow a team of full-stack engineers through regular 1:1s, clear expectations, coaching, and performance management.
• Own delivery end to end with a fast, experimental loop: ship early to real users, measure what works, and iterate quickly without losing reliability.
• Partner with Product and Design as co-owners of the Compose roadmap, using customer feedback and usage data to decide what to build, cut, or double down on.
• Raise engineering craft across testing, observability, and AI-assisted development, and model Mural's remote-first, work-in-public culture at a sustainable pace.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
• 2+ years managing software engineers directly, with responsibility for hiring, coaching, and performance management.
• 5+ years of prior experience as a software engineer building and operating production applications, with hands-on technical work in the last 3-4 years.
• A solid technical foundation, enough to lead architecture discussions and review code with credibility.
• A bias for experimentation: you make sound calls quickly, learn from data, and change course when the evidence says so.
• A people-first approach: you lead with empathy, listen first, and build the trust and psychological safety that help each person do their best work.
• Excellent communication skills, including explaining technical tradeoffs clearly to product, business, and customer stakeholders.
• Experience leading a team that shipped LLM-powered features to production, including evaluation, quality monitoring, and cost management.
• Experience building AI agents, retrieval systems, knowledge graphs, or familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP).
