You remember the first time you realized that building great software isn’t just about writing elegant code — it’s about building a team that ships it consistently. The moment when a project landed cleanly because the right context was set, the architecture was sound, and the team moved in concert. You didn’t just deliver features — you delivered clarity.
At Fixify, we’re building AI-native IT automation that is redefining how IT works., and we need a Software Engineering Manager who thrives in that player-coach space. Someone who can guide a small, high-impact team while staying close enough to the code to shape architecture, unblock engineers, and raise the bar.
This isn’t a “managing from a distance” role. You’ll be mentoring engineers, breaking down complex problems, and contributing to production systems that directly power our growth. You’ll partner closely with Product and Design, translating ambition into maintainable, reliable software that scales with us.
Your primary customers are your engineering team — who rely on you for context, technical judgment, and support — and our product partners, who count on you to deliver predictable, high-quality outcomes. As Fixify grows, you’ll play a key role in shaping how engineering works: our standards, our rituals, and the way we hold ourselves accountable.
This position is remote-friendly, and you’ll collaborate closely with teammates across Engineering, Product, and Design.
If you care about building strong teams, shipping production systems, and creating engineering environments where people do their best work, we should talk.
What we can do for you:- Give you ownership of a small, high-impact team with meaningful contribution to our product direction.
- Keep you close to the code while growing your leadership scope.
- Provide a collaborative environment where engineering, product, and design operate as true partners.
