Engineering Manager

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 100 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

Engineering Managers at Gigs are responsible for enabling a high-performing group of engineers to ship impactful work, grow their skills, and collaborate cross-functionally. This is a hands-on leadership role — you will guide technical execution while helping shape the team’s long-term direction

We are building a modern connectivity platform that powers embedded telecom experiences and the challenges are real: scaling APIs, abstracting telco complexity, and designing systems that are global from day one.

Currently, we are hiring Engineering Managers for multiple product engineering teams at Gigs. During the interview process we will figure out which team is the best fit for your experience, passion, and skills. The teams we are hiring for are:

Foundation: Gigs’ first platform engineering team focusing on developer experience for other Gigs engineering teams, common infrastructure and internal tooling needs.

AI Automation: Crafting a customer service AI built for telecom.

4+ years of experience leading engineering teams in high-growth, product-driven environments

Strong technical background — you have shipped code at scale and can dive deep when needed

A thoughtful approach to people management and a track record of growing and developing engineers

Comfort navigating ambiguity and building clarity

A clear communicator who brings cross-functional stakeholders together

Bias for impact, balanced with high standards and good judgment

Experience with modern product development practices (we use Go, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GCP), including continuous delivery, observability, and infrastructure as code

Ideally experience managing and working with remote and distributed teams

Experience building API forward products (nice to have)

The truth is, what we're building isn't easy. We expect a lot, and operate with urgency and ownership. This won’t be the right place for everyone, and that’s okay.

This role probably isn't a fit if:

You need a lot of structure, or layers of process to do your best work

You prefer to specialize narrowly and wait for direction rather than taking initiative

You’re uncomfortable making decisions with imperfect information or wearing multiple hats

You’re looking for a “big company” setup — we’re still building many things for the first time

But if you’re excited by the idea of building from zero, working with passion, and leaving your mark on something that matters — we’d love to meet you.

At Gigs, we know that different work styles and teams thrive in different environments. Some work best remotely, while others rely on in-person collaboration to spark creativity and drive execution. We’re remote-friendly by design, but we also offer hubs for those who need the energy and focus that only in-person collaboration can bring.

Gigs Pads: Our hubs in San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin are vibrant spots where Gigsters connect, collaborate, and create together.

Gigs Republic: Twice a year, our entire company comes together to strengthen bonds, align on big ideas, and share experiences that fuel our culture and ignite growth.
