## Description

We're building the next generation of AI-powered software for tax and accounting professionals, and we're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team shaping the future of CoCounsel Tax.

As Engineering Manager, you will:

- Build and grow the team. Hire, mentor, and develop a high-performing group of backend and AI engineers. Partner on cross-org engineering hiring to grow the broader CoCounsel Tax organization.

- Drive velocity and engineering health. Partner with engineering leaders to improve team processes, rituals, code review, and ways of working so engineers can ship faster with confidence.

- Set direction with product and design. Collaborate with PM and Design on road mapping and longer-term planning, ensuring the team is organized around the right priorities with clear ownership.

- Be a thought partner on agentic tax workflows. Help shape the technical direction of a more agentic future for tax workflows.

- Scope AI features end-to-end. Be involved early in the design and scoping of AI-driven features across the product, working closely with Labs/Research teams.

- Remove friction across the org. Identify and resolve cross-team blockers so engineers can focus on the highest-leverage work, and drive process improvements that scale across the broader organization.

- Grow domain depth. Over time, develop deep expertise in the tax ecosystem, and the automation opportunities within it.

You are a fit for the role of Engineering Manager if your background includes:

- 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with 3+ years managing engineering teams.

- Track record of leading teams that ship production-grade backend systems at scale.

- Strong technical foundation in backend development and cloud infrastructure; comfortable diving into architecture discussions, code reviews, and design decisions.

- Experience partnering with PM, Design, and cross-functional leaders to set strategy and execute against it.

- Excellent communicator; able to set clear goals, give direct feedback, and align stakeholders across an org.

- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities evolve quickly.

Preferred qualifications:

- Experience shipping AI-driven or agentic systems in production (LLM orchestration, RAG, agent frameworks, evaluation pipelines, etc.).

- Strong technical foundation in Python and AWS.

- Familiarity with modern LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) and how to productionize them reliably.

- Background managing mixed teams of backend and AI/ML engineers.

- Exposure to tax, accounting, or other regulated professional domains.

What's in it for you:

- Hybrid Work Model: We've adopted a flexible hybrid working environment for our office-based roles while delivering a seamless experience that is digitally and physically connected.

- Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: Flex My Way is a set of supportive workplace policies designed to help manage personal and professional responsibilities.
