The Senior Engineering (Dev) Manager will lead multiple engineering pods (each with a Tech Lead and 2-5 engineers), report to the VP of Engineering, and own hiring, onboarding, performance management, roadmap delivery, architecture input, release planning, code review, mentoring, and rotational on-call responsibilities. Candidates need 10+ years of hands-on development, 3+ years in management, system-design experience for scalable incremental delivery, and practical proficiency in Ruby, Python, or Node.js, MVC frameworks (Rails, Django), modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue), and SQL databases. Bonus qualifications include shipping high-scale/enterprise products, deep Rails/testing skills, Heroku/AWS deployments, SRE/ops experience, or fundraising/fintech domain knowledge. GiveCampus emphasizes inclusivity and encourages applicants who do not meet every listed requirement.
