Opportunity

Deepgram is looking for an Engineering Manager to help drive our product-led growth strategy. Deepgram is the leader in developer-friendly building blocks for language AI. As such, this role directly impacts the customer’s first impressions of Deepgram’s products and uniquely influences the customer’s buying decisions. In this role, you will lead a team of frontend and backend engineers who work on our self-serve products like Console and the API Playground. By partnering closely with Product, Sales, and Marketing, you will execute on the next-generation vision for our self-service platform.

What You’ll Do

• Lead a team of multi-disciplined software engineers to build our web applications and account management (authorization, billing, analytics) services

• Work closely with the rest of the leadership and product management team on product strategy and roadmap refinement with customer-obsessed thinking

• Oversee technical design, task decomposition, and daily standups to ensure the team is executing on schedule

• Lead the creation of features and product releases by being closely involved with the product development, design, and review

• Work with other team leads from across the product organization on cross-functional projects, help identify the critical paths, and resolve dependencies

• Hold regular 1-on-1s with direct reports, help them navigate challenges, and coach them for their career development

You’ll Love This Role If You

• Have experience working in early stage startups—from building and scaling to going through fundraising

• Great communication and leadership skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment

• Strong practical experience with software architecture and implementation, plus the ability to engage with an Engineering team to help build and scale the existing infrastructure.

• Familiarity with hybrid cloud models (bare-metal datacenters and cloud service providers) and scaled databases

• Interest in relevant technologies (Rust, GPUs, Elm, Postgres etc.) and willingness to challenge common assumptions about the future trajectories of technology

It’s Important To Us That You Have

• A strong technical background building world class user facing applications

• Proven management and leadership experience

• The ability to drive technical decisions in a scalable and thoughtful manner

• Passion about good engineering practices, emerging technologies, and improving processes

• A consistent record of mentoring and coaching team members

• A passion for navigating the team through the real-world constraints of a startup: how to build quickly, iterate frequently, and run experiments

It Would Be Great if You Had

• Experience working in high-growth startups

• A portfolio of relevant projects demonstrating technical knowledge of our tech stack

• An opinionated approach to partnering with product and making timely deliveries
