ClickUp is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a product engineering team based on strengths and business priorities rather than a single predefined product area.
This is a hands-on role where you will review code daily, debug production issues, prototype, and ship code alongside your team while owning people management and delivery.

Lead and develop a product engineering team, owning hiring, onboarding, mentorship, performance, and career growth.
Own delivery from planning through release and follow-through by breaking work into clear milestones and managing dependencies.
Set priorities with product, design, and engineering leadership, connecting engineering work to customer needs and business outcomes.
Lead from the front technically by reviewing PRs, digging into production issues, and writing code and prototypes.
Drive architecture and implementation decisions with technical leads and senior engineers.
Run an AI-native team using AI tools and agentic workflows to improve planning, development, testing, triage, and reporting.
Uphold a high engineering bar across design and code review, automated testing, performance, security, and maintainability.
Own the operational health of your team's product area, establishing monitoring, safe rollout practices, incident response, and on-call ownership.
Collaborate across product teams and shared platform teams to resolve dependencies and deliver coherent customer experiences.
Keep priorities, progress, risks, and decisions visible using evidence to improve team execution.

6+ years of professional software engineering experience building production software, including substantial time as a hands-on senior engineer, with 2+ years managing an engineering team.
Comfortable working in a modern production codebase (TypeScript, Node.js, React, or similar), reviewing PRs, and debugging across the stack.
A track record of delivering customer-facing SaaS products or services with ownership extending beyond launch.
Experience hiring, coaching, and developing engineers, including giving direct feedback and managing performance.
Deep technical judgment to lead architecture discussions and evaluate trade-offs.
Experience partnering closely with product and design to define priorities, scope work, and deliver against milestones.
A demonstrated ability to use AI tools and agentic workflows to improve engineering work and reduce manual coordination.
Comfort working through ambiguity, learning unfamiliar product areas, and making decisions with incomplete information.
Clear communication and effective cross-functional collaboration.
Daily fluency with AI tools in your own workflow.

Recent, meaningful code contributions as a manager: features, fixes, tooling, or prototypes you shipped yourself.
Experience managing engineers across frontend and backend, or leading delivery across multiple technical disciplines.
Experience building and operating software at scale, including performance, reliability, safe migrations, and incident management.
Experience in a fast-moving product organization, balancing customer-facing delivery with platform improvements and technical debt.
Experience introducing AI-native or agent-driven workflows to an engineering team, with measurable improvements in quality or execution.
Experience building collaboration, productivity, or workflow software, or products used by both individual users and enterprise customers.
Experience leading distributed teams across time zones.
