The opportunity
We are searching for a Growth Engineering Manager to lead, scale, and maintain a high-performing team. This role is central to our mission, as you will focus on driving our key metrics of petition creation and effectiveness. You will join a small, collaborative group consisting of a product manager, a designer, and an engineer. As we grow, you will transition from being a primary code contributor to a leader who mentors and supports a larger engineering team. This is a full-time, remote position where you will define tactics, set goals, and ensure our technical execution remains top-tier.
A day in the life
- Collaborate closely with product and design partners to define quarterly objectives, scope projects, and break them down into actionable plans.
- Serve as a hands-on technical leader, contributing to our full-stack architecture using Ruby on Rails, NodeJS, React, TypeScript, and GraphQL.
- Foster a culture of high performance and impact by mentoring engineers, refining team organization, and using data to validate experiments before scaling.
Who you are
You are a seasoned leader with a strong technical background and a passion for civic tech. You communicate clearly in English and thrive in a remote, global environment. Your background includes:
- At least 3 years of direct management experience and 5 to 8 years of experience with backend technologies.
- Extensive experience with SQL databases, API development, and building web services at scale.
- A proven track record of growing website traffic and using analytics to drive decision-making.
- A collaborative mindset, with the ability to partner effectively across engineering, product, and design functions.
Why you'll love it here
We are a mission-driven company that values our people as much as our impact. For this role, the annual salary is $209,000 USD. Beyond the compensation, you will enjoy a supportive, remote-first environment designed to help you thrive both personally and professionally. Our benefits include:
- Remote work flexibility.
- Comprehensive life insurance.
