We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our team.
The Position
As an Engineering Manager at HappyCo, you will create the conditions for your team of Product Engineers to do their best work — where engineers feel supported, trusted, and empowered to deliver meaningful outcomes for our customers. You will lead and mentor engineers, fostering a culture of transparency, ownership, and continuous learning that helps the team grow.
You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Designers and your peers in Engineering Leadership to enable your team to discover and build solutions that solve customers’ problems, meet our usability standards, are feasible to build, and are viable for our business.
With a focus on transparency and collaboration, you will ensure your team understands the customer problems they are solving and feels confident to ship value early and often. You’ll help your team celebrate success, learn from feedback, and continuously improve how they work together. From refining delivery practices to navigating technical challenges, you will guide the engineering team to do high-quality work that supports the evolution of our product and technology roadmap.
What You’ll Do

We Offer:
We believe in supporting people to do their best work and thrive, and building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company is core to our mission. Our goal is to ensure that HappyCo upholds an inclusive environment where all people feel that they are equally respected and valued, whether they are applying for an open position or working at the company. We welcome applicants of any educational background, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, citizenship, socioeconomic status, disability, and veteran status. HappyCo is also committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans in our job application procedures.
