Manager, Growth Systems Engineering

Remote Austin preferred Full-time

This role is fully remote and full-time. We're prioritizing candidates in Texas, with Austin preferred. You must be eligible to work in the United States.

You'd take over the senior build work and engineering management our founder runs today. Half the job is turning agency ideas into products we can sell, staff, and repeat. The other half is in front of clients, scoping and shipping them. You build with agentic coding tools daily and catch what they get confidently wrong.

The job, honestly

This role sits on both sides of the business. One side is product: taking the ideas and repeated client needs that pile up inside an agency and turning them into something we can sell, staff, and run again. The other side is delivery: sitting with clients to scope and ship the work those products power.

The balance moves, sometimes a lot, quarter to quarter. You're accountable for results in both modes and for moving between them without dropping either. If you need a fixed split negotiated every time the work shifts, this will frustrate you.

How we build

We build with agentic coding tools every day. Not as an experiment, and not as a substitute for judgment. The tools write a lot of the code; you own what ships, including the things they get confidently wrong: the missing index, the race condition, the permission left open.

Work moves in day-sized shippable pieces, not month-long branches. Plans get written and agreed before building starts. Agent-built code is held to the same bar as hand-written code, and every AI-assisted deliverable gets a human review before a client sees it.

What you'd own

  • Productizing agency ideas. Translate concepts and repeated client needs into technical plans, and call what's genuinely productizable versus what should stay bespoke. Early and clearly.
  • The technical stack. Own the tooling behind the agency's use of modern and agentic systems.
  • Client solution design. Be the senior technical voice in client conversations — scoping, estimation, delivery stages, acceptance, handoff — so quality doesn't depend on who's staffed.
  • Team enablement. Make what you build operable by other people through training, documentation, and support models. Nothing important should live only in your head.
  • People. Manage junior developers and contract engineers, and mentor toward independence.
  • Production. Resolve issues in owned systems quickly, before they reach clients and delivery teams.

What we're looking for

  • Ships production code with agentic coding tools every day, and owns the output
  • Working knowledge of a modern stack: TypeScript/Node, Supabase, Vercel, workflow automation
  • Has managed junior or contract engineers, and made systems operable by more than one person
  • Can be the senior technical voice in a client room. Scoping, estimating, translating trade-offs
  • Bias for shipping. Day-sized pieces, not month-long branches
  • Hard on your own work before anyone else has to be, and no ego about authorship

When this isn't a fit

If you want to specialize deeply in one system and go quiet for a quarter, this isn't it. If client-facing work drains you, half this job will drain you. And if you'd rather write every line yourself than review what an agent wrote, you'll fight the way we work instead of using it.
