Who you are

- 7+ years of software engineering experience

- 2+ years of experience managing software engineers
- A genuine desire to remain technically involved and continue writing code

- Experience leading teams responsible for production-critical systems
- A track record of making systems more reliable, observable, and easier to operate

- Strong judgment when balancing feature delivery, user impact, technical debt, and platform investment

- Comfort turning ambiguity into momentum across multiple teams or technical domains
- A track record of pushing beyond off-the-shelf AI coding workflows by designing, testing, and rolling out new agentic tools, processes, and development practices that materially improve how teams build software

- Experience with systems where latency, uptime, consistency, or real-time behaviour materially affect the user experience

- Experience hiring and developing solid engineers, including people with specialised technical expertise

- Strong communication skills with engineers, product partners, peer leaders, users, and executives

- Enthusiasm for building both great technology and a great team around it

- Experience building desktop applications, particularly with Electron

- Experience with real-time media, audio and video pipelines, WebRTC, or similar systems

- Experience supporting software across operating systems, devices, and third-party platform integrations

- Experience leading teams through rapid growth or significant platform change

What the job involves

- We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead and grow the team responsible for this platform

- You will help a strong existing team reach its next level, raise the bar for operational excellence, and shape the next generation of Fellow’s recording capabilities

- This is a true player-coach role

- You will manage and develop engineers,



set technical direction, and stay close enough to the work to write code, jump into a tricky production issue, and explore promising ideas alongside the team

- Lead and grow the existing team responsible for Fellow’s desktop application, botless recording experience, mobile recording, and real-time audio and video infrastructure

- Coach and develop engineers working across these platforms, grow the team with the expertise it needs next, and ensure knowledge and ownership are shared broadly

- Make reliability a competitive advantage by improving observability, tooling, incident response, and the systems and practices required to operate the platform at scale

- Stay close to people using Fellow and to our support teams, using real-world feedback to guide the team’s priorities

- Stay technically hands-on by writing production code where it creates leverage, pairing on difficult bugs and prototypes, and remaining close to the architecture and risks within the systems your team owns

- Set the standard for how the team uses AI coding tools, modelling effective workflows and continually exploring ways to build faster without compromising production quality

- Partner with Product, Design, SRE, and other engineering leaders to turn ambiguous opportunities into clear priorities and measurable outcomes

- Balance ambitious user-facing work with the platform investments that make future development faster, safer, and more reliable

- Help shape what comes next, including deeper operating-system integrations, new recording environments, native mobile capabilities, and on-device intelligence

- Success means helping an established team grow its capabilities and impact, shipping ambitious new experiences, and creating a recording platform people can trust

- Fellow is a remote-first company with core collaboration hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
