Engineering Manager (Player-Coach) Full Description

Build the future of community and AI-powered software at scale.

About Mighty Networks

We help creators, entrepreneurs, and brands build valuable communities and courses where members connect with each other to achieve transformational results.

The Role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a versatile and high-performing squad. You’ll manage a multi-platform team (Web, iOS, Android) known for picking up complex projects, ramping fast, and crossing the finish line. You’ll be responsible for the “how” of delivery, unblocking engineers, driving technical decisions, and keeping quality high, while still getting into the code yourself.

This is a player-coach role for someone who’s excited to mentor others, level up engineering practices, and dive into code when needed. We’re not looking for a full-time manager. We’re looking for a builder who happens to be great at leading.

We work fast, use AI to accelerate everything we do, and deploy to production constantly behind feature flags. You’ll help shape how this team delivers high-leverage projects across the company.

What You’ll Do

Manage a cross-platform squad of 5 engineers (Web, iOS, Android)
Spend ~30% of your time writing production code
Unblock engineers and help them make good default technical decisions
Drive execution across multiple areas (e.g. payments, migrations, pricing tools)
Coach and grow engineers through feedback, 1:1s, and career development
Hire and onboard new engineers
Hold a high bar for quality, velocity, and simplicity in how we build
Contribute to planning and roadmap conversations with Product & Design
Push for tight feedback loops and small, frequent releases
Be a technical sounding board and escalation path for your team

What We’re Looking For

5+ years as an engineer and at least 1+ year managing or mentoring other engineers
Actively technical: comfortable jumping into a PR, debugging, or pair programming
Experience with Web, iOS, or Android (cross-platform fluency is a plus, not required)
Bias to action, clarity, and forward progress
Strong communicator who can manage up, down, and across
Comfortable navigating ambiguity, defaulting to high-judgment decisions
Excited about how AI can be used to improve engineering productivity

Who You Are

You enjoy coding, and don’t see management as “getting out of the weeds”
You believe in fast cycles, feature flags, and building trust through execution
You take responsibility for unblocking and enabling others
You’re calm under pressure and thrive in a fast-moving environment
You’ve got strong opinions, loosely held—and you’re open to change
You’d rather deliver value this week than write a 10-page doc about it

Compensation: The base salary for this role ranges from $120,000–$200,000 USD, with exact compensation based on location, experience, and cost of living.
