Engineering Manager

About the Role:

• The Grants Engine is an AI-powered tool that helps public agencies and community organizations find, prioritize, and pursue federal and state funding.
• We are live with beta users, onboarding our first statewide partner, and moving toward general access, with rapid state-by-state expansion.

Responsibilities:

• Own technical implementation of the product roadmap end to end, from scoping through delivery.
• Partner with the Product Lead to scope features, size effort, and plan resourcing, surfacing downstream impacts and tradeoffs early.
• Own the architectural direction of both the application and the data ingestion pipeline, and set the standard for what "done" means.

What We Are Looking For:

• Significant hands-on software engineering experience on production systems, with a track record of leading engineers as a team lead, engineering manager, or technical lead.
• Pragmatic judgment about existing systems, knowing which corners are safe to cut at this stage and which are not.
• Strong systems and architecture judgment, with enough range across frontend, backend, data pipelines, and AWS infrastructure to lead an infrastructure migration.

Logistics:

• Location: Remote, with quarterly travel to offices in Dallas.
• Compensation: $200K - $250K base.
