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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
