Job Description
Engineering Manager leading a full stack team at Ternary, an intelligence platform for cloud and AI spending optimization. Focusing on team growth, product delivery, and technical leadership.
Responsibilities:
- Lead and grow a full stack engineering team: hiring, mentoring, performance management, and career development.
- Remain hands-on — actively contributing to architecture, design reviews, and code; you set the technical bar by example.
- Own end-to-end delivery of major product and platform initiatives: planning, design, implementation, deployment, and production performance.
- Drive architectural decisions that determine how the platform scales to serve enterprise finance and engineering buyers.
- Partner closely with Product Management to translate customer needs and business requirements into executable engineering plans.
- Define and enforce engineering best practices: code quality, testing standards, CI/CD, documentation, and incident response.
- Make informed tradeoffs between tactical execution and long-term technical strategy, surfacing risks and options clearly to stakeholders.
- Uplift the team through structured feedback, regular 1:1s, and a culture of high ownership and psychological safety.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful time building full stack web applications and data-intensive platforms.
- 2+ years in an engineering management or tech lead manager role, with a track record of shipping complex projects through a team.
- Strong full stack technical depth: you are comfortable contributing to React/TypeScript frontends, Node.js or Go backend services, and BigQuery or large-scale data warehousing.
- Demonstrated product sense — you make engineering decisions in the context of customer value and business outcomes, not just technical elegance.
- Proven ability to drive clarity in ambiguous environments: you identify the problem, align stakeholders, and move to execution without waiting for perfect information.
- Strong communicator across levels — engineering team, cross-functional peers, and senior leadership.
- Experience at both high-growth startups and mature engineering organizations is a strong signal.
- Actively uses AI tools (e.g. Copilot, Cursor, Claude, LLM-assisted workflows) to accelerate engineering delivery — and expects and enables your team to do the same. Strong preference.
- Hands-on experience building AI-powered product features: LLM integration, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, or AI agent workflows. Strong plus.
Benefits:
- Company-sponsored travel to interact with colleagues several times a year.
- We provide generous health benefits, 401(k) plan, and a WFH budget for you to set up your home office (not available for contract or short term roles such as internships).
- Equity compensation so that all employees can participate in Ternary's success (not available for contract or short term roles such as internships).
- The team culture is the best of what you would expect to see at a startup combined with a level of maturity you would see at a much larger company.
