The Role

Engineering Managers at Gigs are responsible for enabling a high-performing group of engineers to ship impactful work, grow their skills, and collaborate cross-functionally. This is a hands-on leadership role — you will guide technical execution while helping shape the team's long-term direction

We are building a modern connectivity platform that powers embedded telecom experiences and the challenges are real: scaling APIs, abstracting telco complexity, and designing systems that are global from day one.

Currently, we are hiring Engineering Managers for multiple product engineering teams at Gigs. During the interview process we will figure out which team is the best fit for your experience, passion, and skills. The teams we are hiring for are:

• Foundation: Gigs' first platform engineering team focusing on developer experience for other Gigs engineering teams, common infrastructure and internal tooling needs.
• Core APIs: Building a world-class API that makes it easy for our customers to start selling and managing mobile phone subscriptions.
• Operator: Crafting a customer service AI built for telecom.

What you will do

• Lead, support, and grow a team of software engineers working on core parts of our platform
• Partner with Product and Design to define priorities, shape roadmaps, and deliver high-quality features
• Drive technical excellence — from architecture to code reviews to reliability
• Create a team environment that balances ambition, ownership, and continuous learning
• Ensure a sustainable and inclusive engineering culture where people thrive
• Contribute to hiring and onboarding processes to help scale the team thoughtfully
• Step into technical discussions with clarity and pragmatism when needed

What we are looking for

• 4+ years of experience leading engineering teams in high-growth, product-driven environments
• Strong technical background — you have shipped code at scale and can dive deep when needed
• A thoughtful approach to people management and a track record of growing and developing engineers
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and building clarity
• A clear communicator who brings cross-functional stakeholders together
• Bias for impact, balanced with high standards and good judgment
• Experience with modern product development practices (we use Go, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GCP), including continuous delivery, observability, and infrastructure as code
• Ideally experience managing and working with remote and distributed teams
• Experience building API forward products (nice to have)

Work at Gigs

At Gigs, we know that different work styles and teams thrive in different environments. Some work best remotely, while others rely on in-person collaboration to spark creativity and drive execution. We're remote-friendly by design, but we also offer hubs for those who need the energy and focus that only in-person collaboration can bring.

• Gigs Pads: Our hubs in San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin are vibrant spots where Gigsters connect, collaborate, and create together.
• Gigs Republic: Twice a year, our entire company comes together to strengthen bonds, align on big ideas, and share experiences that fuel our culture and ignite growth.

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan

If you're driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, let's talk.
