Engineering Manager

Sched is looking for an Engineering Manager to bring clarity, focus, and velocity to our engineering team. You’ll oversee prioritization, manage our PHP-based codebase and infrastructure, and make sure the team has the right tooling and processes to deliver consistently. Our ideal teammate is equal parts organizer and enabler helping engineers do their best work while keeping business priorities on track.

What you’ll do

You’ll be an effective cross-functional teammate who helps us achieve our mission of building a product that brings people together to make the world a better place. Your contributions will include:

• Run prioritization and sprint planning in partnership with Product and Design.
• Set clear velocity expectations and ensure engineering deliverables are on time and aligned with company OKRs.
• Manage and improve our PHP-based codebase, ensuring ongoing infrastructure cleanup and stability.
• Own our engineering tooling ecosystem from issue tracking (e.g., Jira/Linear) to CI/CD, testing frameworks, version control (GitHub), documentation, and monitoring/alerting systems.
• Evaluate and implement new tools to improve developer experience and team efficiency.
• Balance technical debt against new feature development, ensuring both customer value and long-term maintainability.
• Partner closely with Product Manager to scope work, set realistic timelines, and communicate trade-offs.
• Establish accountability within the team through clear processes and progress tracking.
• Coach engineers, foster collaboration, and create an environment where quality and velocity can both thrive.

Are you the right fit?

You thrive at the intersection of technology and people. You can balance execution with pragmatism, helping engineers focus while ensuring business priorities are met. You’ll own engineering velocity, tooling, and be the bridge between technical execution and company goals.

• You have 5+ years of engineering experience, with at least 2+ in a leadership/management role.
• You have hands-on experience with PHP codebases and can guide engineers on technical trade-offs.
• You’ve managed SaaS/web applications with production traffic.
• You’re strong in tooling comfortable designing and maintaining systems like CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, automated testing, monitoring, and project tracking.
• You can create and maintain prioritization processes that balance speed and stability.
• You’re comfortable making hard calls, setting focus, and being accountable for delivery.
• You’re a strong communicator who can partner across Product, Design, and Customer-facing teams.
