Employer job description
From Elicit's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Why we’re hiring for this role
Elicit is growing. We currently have 20 engineers and only two people managers. This role is crucially important to ensure that our world-class engineers are given the opportunity to do the best work of their career here.
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to help us scale our team without sacrificing the speed, technical excellence, and ownership that epitomize how we build products.
This role is more of a coach than a player. It’s important you are sufficiently technically-engaged to steward wise architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and help unblock difficult technical problems. However, your primary impact will be through building and motivating a high-performing team rather than individual contributions in code.
You, your team, and your product counterpart will own outcomes, not just a roadmap. Roadmaps are hypotheses: when reality diverges, we expect you to notice, question, and change course.
What you’ll own
Build and grow a high-performing engineering team
Directly manage a team of up to 8 software engineers.
Coach engineers through technical growth, career development, and increasing ownership.
