Position Description

Tenna is seeking an Engineering Manager to connect engineering execution with product delivery. Reporting to engineering leadership, the Engineering Manager leads multiple development teams and is responsible for the full people-management lifecycle, including hiring, performance, and staffing. This role partners with Product on priorities and trade-offs, manages schedules, dependencies, and execution risk, and holds technical leads accountable for design quality and delivery commitments. The Engineering Manager does not set product direction or perform hands-on technical work; the focus is on driving execution through the team.

The ideal candidate is an experienced people manager with the technical credibility to engage substantively with the team's work. Having begun your career as a technical contributor before moving into leadership, you bring a proven record of developing engineers and delivering product through your teams. You are technical enough to evaluate estimates, identify design risks before they escalate, and partner effectively with technical leads, while recognizing that your primary contribution is leadership rather than implementation. You understand the product well enough to make sound trade-off decisions and to identify issues early. Sounds like you? Apply now!

Your Responsibilities

• Owns the full people management lifecycle for direct reports: 1:1s, performance reviews, career development, hiring, terminations, and compensation decisions.

• Manages multiple engineering teams, owning people and delivery outcomes across scope.

• Ensures teams meet their KPIs and have the right staffing to deliver on commitments.

• Develops Tech Leads in their roles, supporting their growth in design ownership, technical mentorship, and delivery accountability.

• Owns active project management for feature development—defining scope with Product partners, scheduling delivery, identifying dependencies and complexities, managing timelines, and moving resources as necessary to protect commitments.

• Acts as the project management layer for engineering: coordinates with Product Managers to align on deadlines and priorities, surfaces risks early, and proactively resolves scheduling conflicts.

• Holds Tech Leads accountable to delivery commitments and design completion. Gut-checks estimates and engages with project designs, plans, and scope definitions to identify execution and schedule risk.

• Holds partial accountability for burn charts—does not own them outright but is responsible for ensuring they accurately reflect project health.

• Ensures deployment plans are defined and in place ahead of every feature release.

• Identifies technical and schedule risks across projects; partners with Tech Leads on mitigation strategies before issues escalate.

• Partners with Product Management to understand priorities, define features clearly, and negotiate tradeoffs between scope, time, and resources.

• Partners with Tech Leads to ensure execution proceeds correctly per process and standards. Where execution gaps exist, addresses them through coaching, resourcing, or process intervention.

• Drives process improvement initiatives to increase team efficiency, delivery predictability, and engineering quality.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong background as a hands-on technical contributor earlier in your career.

• 3+ years of experience in an engineering management role, with direct responsibility for project delivery and people management.

• Demonstrated experience managing and developing engineering talent, including performance reviews, hiring, and compensation decisions.

• Proven experience owning project management for software feature development, not just coordination, but full accountability for schedule, scope, process, and outcomes.

• Technical depth sufficient to evaluate risks in designs and plans, gut-check technical estimates, and credibly partner with Tech Leads. You don’t need to be the deepest technical expert in the room; you need to be technical enough to ask the right questions and recognize when an answer doesn’t add up.

• Strong track record of collaborating with Product Management to define features, align on priorities, and navigate tradeoffs.

• Ability to identify and manage technical and schedule risk proactively, developing mitigation strategies before issues escalate.

• Solid understanding of software delivery processes, standards, and deployment practices.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field is required, or equivalent industry experience.
