Job Description

Engineering Manager at Kodex, overseeing Core Portal and Verifications teams. Leading technical development and team growth in a remote work environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage, mentor, and coach engineers, building a healthy, inclusive team where people enjoy the work and feel they’re growing.
  • Consolidate inputs from engineers, three PMs, and leadership into a single, prioritized backlog for the Core Portal team.
  • Run simple, effective planning and prioritization so everyone understands what we’re doing and why.
  • Improve remote communication habits so people ask questions, share context, and avoid working in isolation.
  • Partner closely with PMs to define roadmaps, shape requirements, and balance product priorities with technical debt and reliability.
  • Engage in deep technical discussions with senior engineers on architecture, tradeoffs, and systems design.
  • Encourage and model effective use of AI tools in day-to-day engineering work, helping the team adopt and continually improve how they use tools like Claude Code.
  • Ensure the team’s systems are reliable, maintainable, and aligned with our long-term technical direction.
  • Define and track team goals, communicate progress and risks to leadership, and make Core Portal a model team within engineering.

Requirements:

  • Have ~3–7+ years as an Engineering Manager or equivalent people leader, and previously worked as a hands-on engineer.
  • Have enough technical depth to engage confidently with senior engineers on architecture and complex systems.
  • Lead with empathy, care about people’s careers, and are comfortable being human and honest with your team.
  • Have run performance reviews, navigated hard feedback, and coached engineers through real growth.
  • Are used to partnering with PMs from idea → requirements → shipped work, and bring user and business context into technical decisions.
  • Have taken a team from conflicting inputs and ad-hoc work to a clear backlog and simple, effective rituals.
  • Enjoy improving process just enough to help people move faster, not to add bureaucracy.
  • Are excited about leveraging AI in engineering workflows, and either have experience with tools like Claude Code or are eager to become highly proficient with them.
  • Prefer rolling up your sleeves and fixing problems directly rather than waiting for someone else to own them.
  • Thrive in remote, startup environments.
  • Bonus: have experience in security, encryption, or data-protection–heavy systems.

Benefits:

  • Offers Equity
