Engineering Manager

Build the best product in our vertical at a fast pace, influence the growth of our team members, and cultivate an exceptional engineering culture.

Goody is a gifting platform that makes personal and professional gifting easy. Founded 5 years ago, our product has already become the UI/UX leader in the space and is used by Google, Stripe, Meta, Anthropic, Notion, NBCUniversal, DHL, and others.

Despite being something everyone does, gifting is one of the areas of commerce yet to be disrupted, and our mission is to capture that market opportunity and spread joy and positivity!

Our product is at the center of how we'll win. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our small and talented team of 4 full-stack software engineers at Goody. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to build an insanely great product, influence the growth of our team members, and cultivate an exceptional engineering culture.

• Fast execution at a startup pace. You consistently unlock speed for the team and help us ship at a high velocity, through your work in resourcing projects, removing blockers, setting pace expectations, and keeping everyone aligned.
• Product taste. You know what an exceptional user experience looks like and can lead engineers to deliver it.
• Collaborative. Empathetic in understanding the needs, wants, and concerns of both engineers and stakeholders outside engineering to ensure everyone has the information they need and feel aligned and heard.
• Good vibes. You bring a positive energy to the team and exemplify Goody's ethos of creating delight and having fun. You should create an environment where our engineering team members thrive, do their best work, and have great rapport with their fellow team members, in part from leading by example.

• The quality and pace of engineering execution. You'll work with our product and engineering teams to resource and ship an ambitious but realistic roadmap that makes Goody more valuable for our senders, recipients, and internal staff.

Coordinating discussions and driving the team toward technical decisions on how to improve our speed of shipping or developer experience, maintain technical debt, and improve our long-term future.
