Senior Engineering Manager - Seattle, WA; paid relocation available

We are currently seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead multiple Seattle-based product engineering squads. You and your squads will focus on building and optimizing our award-winning tenant screening product suite, which is the product that propelled us to profitability last year and sits as the #1 category leader in the space! Currently, we are strengthening foundations of this product suite to better prepare for scale (refactoring the backend), as well as launching new 0-1 products and features that will drive differentiation, innovation, monetization, and competitive footing.

Reporting directly to the CTO, the ideal candidate has a proven track record of leading and scaling teams, hiring and retaining top engineering talent, and partnering with the product organization to build a robust roadmap.

This role is hybrid in-office in downtown Seattle two days per week. However, RentSpree has a significant engineering presence in Thailand, and the candidate will be expected to work closely with their peers in both regions.

What You'll Do

• Serve as engineering leader for core products, including tenant screening and listings, while reimagining partner integrations to accelerate customer acquisition
• Build and drive squads of talented engineers to success, in a fast-moving product delivery team

• Oversee the maintenance and optimization of existing systems, ensuring scalability, security, and performance
• Contribute to the strategic planning of the engineering department, identifying opportunities for growth and improvement
