About the Role
Merge is seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead the engineering for our Agent Handler and Gateway products. This role involves taking new products from conception to market fit, shipping quickly, and building a team. The ideal candidate will be AI-native, product-minded, and comfortable with ambiguity, with prior experience in 0-to-1 product development.
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of 5-8 engineers building new products from early traction toward product-market fit
- Stay hands-on with technical decisions and architecture, especially in high-ambiguity or high-impact areas

- Partner directly with product, design, and GTM to turn customer signal into shipped product
- Drive adoption of AI-enabled development and automation across the team
- Build a high-performance culture centered on ownership, speed, and low-ego leadership
Requirements
- 6+ years of engineering experience with 1+ years in management
- Experience leading teams of 5+ engineers in fast-paced, startup environments

- Experience building and scaling engineering teams, including hiring and developing internal talent
- Familiarity with modern backend systems and infrastructure (e.g., Django, Python, Postgres, AWS, Kubernetes)
