Engineering Manager (Product)

Join ClickUp as an Engineering Manager (Product) and lead a product engineering team. You'll be responsible for building a strong team, shipping useful product improvements, and ensuring the quality and reliability of your deliverables. As a hands-on manager, you'll stay close to the codebase, drive architecture and implementation decisions, and run an AI-native team. You'll also own people management, delivery, and team execution, collaborating closely with product, design, and technical leads.

Lead and develop a product engineering team, overseeing hiring, onboarding, mentorship, performance, and career growth.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery from planning through release and follow-through, breaking work into clear milestones, managing dependencies, and surfacing risks early.
• Drive architecture and implementation decisions with technical leads and senior engineers, bringing real depth to design discussions and challenging assumptions.
• Daily fluency with AI tools in your own workflow
• Experience partnering closely with product and design to define priorities, scope work, and deliver against clear milestones
• A track record of delivering customer-facing SaaS products or services, with ownership extending beyond launch to reliability, maintenance, and customer outcomes
• Clear communication and effective cross-functional collaboration. You make ownership, trade-offs, risks, and next steps easy to understand
• Recent, meaningful code contributions as a manager: features, fixes, tooling, or prototypes you shipped yourself

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience building production software, including substantial time as a hands-on senior engineer, with 2+ years managing an engineering team
• A demonstrated ability to use AI tools and agentic workflows to improve engineering work and reduce manual coordination, with attention to correctness, security, and review
• You still code. You're comfortable working in a modern production codebase (TypeScript, Node.js, React, or similar), reviewing PRs with substance, and debugging across the stack
• Experience hiring, coaching, and developing engineers, including giving direct feedback, managing performance, and supporting career growth
• Deep technical judgment. You can lead architecture discussions, evaluate trade-offs from first-hand experience, and hold a high engineering bar because you know what good looks like in the code
• Comfort working through ambiguity, learning unfamiliar product areas, and making decisions with incomplete information
• Experience managing engineers across frontend and backend, or leading delivery across multiple technical disciplines
• Experience building and operating software at scale, including performance, reliability, safe migrations, and incident management
• Experience in a fast-moving product organization, balancing customer-facing delivery with platform improvements and technical debt
• Experience introducing AI-native or agent-driven workflows to an engineering team, with measurable improvements in quality or execution
• Experience building collaboration, productivity, or workflow software, or products used by both individual users and enterprise customers
• Experience leading distributed teams across time zones
