Engineering Manager

Overview

Vox Media builds smart media brands people love, empowering trusted digital voices with proprietary technology to create and distribute stories to an audience of hundreds of millions of young adults worldwide. Vox Media is eight distinct brands: The Verge, Vox, SB Nation, Eater, Polygon, Racked, Eater, Curbed, and Recode. And our ad technology is so great that we’ve created a premium advertising network in 2016; we proudly call it Concert.

And our Revenue Team…

We all dislike internet ads. Often times they are distasteful, annoying and track far too much personal information. Let’s rebuild a better advertising paradigm together. Join us and rethink what is possible with a holistic content and advertising experience. The future of journalism funding is in our hands.

Our award-winning ad-tech teams build the custom display advertising platform and authoring tools that power our beautiful high-impact ads, immersive native advertising features, and reporting dashboards that help our teams measure success.

Our team is playful, helpful, and eager to make online advertising better. We want to deliver great products without losing our humanity. Let’s be wonderful together.

The Role…

Engineering managers at Vox Media are still hands-on but spent the majority of their time focused on making their teams work better. As an engineering manager for one of the ad-tech teams, you will prioritize and plan the work of the team alongside your engineers, the product manager and the designers. You will actively coach engineers on their day-to-day work and their career aspirations, and conduct regular 1-1s for each of your engineers. You will remove obstacles for the team to unblock their work. This role will require you to recruit and hire great talent for the team by being an evangelist for the organization. In addition, you will help shape the direction of our tech stack to support pioneering revenue opportunities that support our high quality journalism and storytelling.

And You…

You are a self-driven, ambitious person that has good experience as a hand-on software engineer, whether it’s front-end or backend or any-end. You’re a respectful and empathetic teammate who is willing to go the extra mile for others, and you care about helping us create a diverse, inclusive workforce where we respect all and practice empathy at every opportunity. You have some experience managing technical teams and guiding them to success, and you care deeply about the quality of your work and the team’s work.
