As our Head of Product Engineering, you’ll be the strategic force behind how we build, scale, and ship product at Manychat. You’ll set the tone for technical excellence, architectural vision, and people leadership across all product engineering teams.Here’s what your impact will look like:
- Unify & elevate our product engineering org by aligning teams under a shared vision, standardizing quality, processes, and tech practices across multiple squads.
- Build the next generation of engineering leaders by hiring and mentoring Engineering Managers and Tech Leads, creating a culture of ownership, continuous learning, and psychological safety.
- Design the org, not just the software — shape how teams are structured, how they collaborate, and how they deliver at speed while maintaining quality.
