Title: (Senior) Software Engineering Manager
Location: Remote, USA
Industry: AEC tech
Compensation: $200k-$240k base + equity
Team size: 5 growing to 8
What You'll Do
You’ll lead a team building a high-performance CAD experience that runs entirely in the browser—spanning computational geometry, 3D visualization, and rich interactive editing. You’ll combine strong technical leadership with deep expertise in frontend architectures, web graphics, and the design challenges unique to CAD systems. Expect to:
- Lead the design, planning, and delivery of engineering projects within Studio.
- Partner with the Building Generation team to define and maintain a clean API surface between the building model layer and Studio's interaction and rendering systems.
- Drive architectural and technical decisions for Studio’s frontend systems, ensuring performance, maintainability, and a delightful user experience.
- Balance rapid iteration with systematic improvements to quality, testability, and technical debt reduction.
- Develop and mentor a high-performing team of engineers, fostering technical depth, accountability, and collaboration.
- Co-own the product roadmap with product and design leaders — bringing engineering judgment into prioritization and trade-off decisions from the start, not just at execution.
- Own the operating rhythm of the Studio team: drive toward async-first, minimal-meeting delivery, clear ownership on decisions, and high engineering accountability without management overhead.
