Engineering Manager
Earnest- Full Time
- Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should have 2–5 years of experience in a software engineering role, preferably with a focus on web or mobile applications. Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Kotlin, Swift) is required, along with a problem-solver’s mindset and a strong attention to detail.
As a Production Engineer, you will own the fix-it lane by triaging and resolving non-critical bugs to maintain a polished user experience, supporting our users by collaborating with the customer support team to address issues, managing technical debt by identifying, cleaning up, and refactoring old code, and enhancing quality of life by implementing small but meaningful feature requests that improve user engagement or internal tooling. You will also collaborate with senior engineers on ongoing initiatives and handle lower-priority, yet essential, engineering tasks.
