About the team:

At Dice, we believe that delivering an exceptional candidate experience is essential to the success of our platform. As an engineering leader you will utilize your personal and professional knowledge and experience to lead a team of software engineers in both front and back-end application development. This team currently plays a crucial role in developing Dice's next-gen experiences.

About the role:

As a hands-on Engineering Manager at Dice, you will lead a team of skilled engineers working across a modern full-stack environment to deliver high-impact product enhancements that support thousands of job seekers and recriters. You'll collaborate with product, design, and data partners to ensure alignment on goals and outcomes, maintain a high bar for technical quality, and drive continuous improvement. The Engineering Manager is responsible for investing in the growth, development, and success of their team by supporting their career progression through regular coaching, feedback, and opportunities for advancement.

Why we're hiring for this role:

At Dice we recognize that strong engineering leadership is fundamental to building high-performing teams. As a hands-on technical leader, you'll play a key role in shaping both the user experience and the engineering culture.

In the short term you will:

Build Technical Context and System Knowledge

Become familiar with the codebases, architecture, infrastructure, and development workflows. While you typically won't be in the critical path for delivery, you're expected to contribute meaningfully to technical discussions and architectural decisions, review code, and understand the tradeoffs your team faces. This fluency is essential to earning trust and effectively guiding the team.

Understanding the Team, Product, and Engineering Culture

Begin building relationships with your team through one-on-ones and hands-on collaboration. Learn the product's purpose, user base, and how your team's work fits into the broader platform. Participate in team rituals and begin to assess team strengths and growth areas.

Establish Technical Leadership

Take ownership of the roadmap and begin identifying opportunities for long-term improvement in architecture, team capabilities, and development practices.

In the long term you will:

Build and Empower a High-Performing Team

Develop a team culture of shared ownership, open communication, accountability and innovation. Mentor engineers, support their career growth, close skill gaps, and ensure the team can operate with autonomy and clarity.

Drive Technical Excellence and Scalable Practices

Continually raise the technical bar through code reviews, architectural improvements, reduced technical debt, and strong engineering practices. Ensure production systems are reliable, maintainable, supportable, and scalable.

Deliver Business Impact Through Execution and Collaboration

Establish predictable delivery, aligning closely with cross-functional partners, and ensure the team consistently ships meaningful outcomes. Own and influence roadmap decisions, advocate for smart trade-offs, and contribute to broader organizational goals.

What you bring to the team:
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade applications with a proven track record of rapid delivery and practical implementation
  • Strong technical skills using cloud-based technologies.
  • In-depth knowledge of agile methodologies, and best practices to guide and enable the team.
  • Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguous situations, make informed decisions, and adapt based on feedback.
  • Proven ability to balance the benefits and costs of simple versus complex solutions, ensuring outcomes align with project and organizational goals.
  • Ability to bridge the gap between technical teams and stakeholders, ensuring clear communication of complex data concepts and project goals.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to make pragmatic technical decisions while growing a culture of continuous improvement and delivery.
  • Technical depth and credibility to engage with the team's work, whether to unblock progress, offer hands-on support, or hold individuals accountable to high engineering standards.
Required:
  • Proven ability to lead teams in building and maintaining business-critical applications across the stack, including enterprise Next.js and React frontends and Node.js/TypeScript services.
  • Experience guiding the development of scalable, maintainable, RESTful and GraphQL services in production environments
  • Working knowledge of container-based technologies (Docker, Fargate, Kubernetes, or other)
  • Solid understanding of architectural patterns (event-driven, serverless, SOA, and others)
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams designing and operating modern web authentication and authorization systems.
  • Knowledge of quality best practices and automated testing tools such as Playwright
  • Proven experience leading in an Agile environment
  • Strong communication, problem-solving, organization skills and attention to detail
  • Demonstrated ability to build a high-performing team, including addressing underperformance with empathy, and accountability
  • Experience developing team members through regular 1:1s, coaching, and feedback, with a focus on growth and engagement
Preferred:
  • Working knowledge of implementing and operating Stripe-based payment flows or other payment processing, including product configuration, pricing models, and integration with application services.
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM, Authentication & Authorization) is highly preferred.
  • Experience with highly available, highly scalable SaaS applications
  • Working knowledge of logging and observability best practices
  • Familiarity with DevOps principles and the ability to work closely with platform teams
  • Knowledge of performance tuning, cost optimization, or scalability in a cloud-native environment
