ppWe are looking for an engineering manager to own delivery end to end so the founder can step out of the day-to-day loop. You run the cadences, track every active project, surface risk early, and you're the first escalation point when something breaks. You lead through clear writing and good decisions, not status theater. A Manager of One who creates Managers of One. /ph3About SearchApi /h3pSearchApi is a real-time SERP API delivering structured data from 100+ search engines and sources, including Google Search, Google Shopping, Google Jobs, Bing, Baidu, YouTube, Amazon, and many more. We power production workloads for Fortune 500 companies, AI startups, and developers who need reliable search data at scale. /ph3Why Join Us? /h3ulliOwn how the team ships. Delivery, quality, and process are yours to design and run. /liliClose to the founder. You take the operational load so the CEO can focus on direction. /liliProcess that matters. On a small, fast team, good process is leverage, not bureaucracy. /liliHigh bar, high trust. You hire and grow people who don't need managing. /liliBootstrapped and Profitable. We answer to customers, not investors. /li /ulh3How You Work /h3ulliYou're technical enough to read a plan or a PR and call BS. /liliYou live in GitHub and Notion. If it isn't written down, it didn't happen. /liliYou use AI to run a lighter, faster process, and you know where not to trust it. /li /ulh3You Use AI, And You Know Its Limits /h3pWe expect you to use AI agents in your own work, planning, summaries, and drafts, and to push the team to do the same. You also know exactly where you've decided not to trust them yet, and you can say why. /ph3What You'll Do /h3ulliRun the cadences. Planning, standups, and retros. Lightweight, useful, never theater. /liliTrack everything. Know the state of every active project and surface risk before it becomes a fire. /liliOwn delivery metrics. Cycle time, review latency, and reliability. Use them humanely, not as a stick.



/liliCommand incidents. Be the first escalation when something breaks, coordinate the response, and run a blameless RCA that actually changes something. /liliGrow the team. 1:1s, coaching, and a hiring pipeline that holds a high bar (job descriptions, scorecards, screens). /li /ulpYou own outcomes. Not the most code. The most shipped, on time, at quality. /ph3The Hard Parts /h3pThis role is not for everyone. Here's what makes it hard: /pulliYou own outcomes without writing most of the code. Your impact is the team's output, not your commits. /liliSmall-team metrics are noisy. You'll need judgment to tell signal from noise. /liliHold the bar without becoming the bottleneck. Both at once. /liliYou make the unpopular call. And explain it clearly. /li /ulpIf you want a title without the accountability, this isn't for you. /ph3About You /h3ulliYou've shipped delivery improvements. Real ones, with a before-and-after you can describe. /liliTechnical enough to earn respect. Engineers trust your judgment because you understand the work. /liliHumane with data. You use metrics to help people, not to rank them. /liliCalm in incidents. You coordinate instead of panicking. /liliGreat writer. Your decisions are clear on the page, without a meeting. /liliSelf-directed. You don't wait to be told what's slipping. /liliFluent in English, written and spoken. /li /ulh3Required experience /h3ulliA written example of how you ran a delivery process or unblocked a team: a real retro, an incident RCA, or a process you designed and rolled out. /li /ulh3We're especially looking for /h3ulliYou've managed a small, high-output engineering team. /liliIncident command experience. /liliA track record of hiring at a high bar. /li /ulh3What You Get /h3ulliFully Remote. Work from anywhere. /liliEquity share. Own a piece of what you're building. /liliProfit sharing. When we win, you win. /liliLearn from the founder. Understand how a real SaaS business grows. /liliAnnual team retreats (last one in Spain). /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
