Senior Engineering Manager

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a high impact team of software engineers with a strong focus on people leadership, mentorship, and engineer growth. We are looking for someone who enjoys coaching engineers, building strong teams, creating clarity, and helping people do the best work of their careers. As a Senior Engineering Manager at Vetcove, you will help guide projects from conception to completion across much of the technology stack. Your involvement will span team leadership, execution planning, mentorship, hiring, career development, architecture discussions, technical strategy, and engineering process improvement. You should also be close to the code, able to understand technical tradeoffs, assist with code reviews, and help unblock engineers. As a leader supporting the core features of the Vetcove platform, you will help ensure we are building intuitive, reliable, and innovative products that veterinary organizations depend on every day. You will work closely with engineers, product leaders, and company leadership to move quickly, maintain high technical standards, and support the long term growth of the team. About our team We believe every engineer at Vetcove should have a holistic view of the business and feel ownership across many areas of our technology stack. Our engineering leaders are no exception. We value managers who stay close to the code, understand the customer experience, and lead by creating clarity, developing people, and helping teams execute effectively. We move quickly in an industry that has historically been slow to adopt technology. As Vetcove continues expanding its offerings to better serve veterinary groups and supply chain partners, we are rapidly growing our engineering organization while maintaining a strong focus on code quality, system reliability, thoughtful product development, and strong people leadership. You will have the opportunity to work closely with end users, support engineers across different stages of their careers, help the team tackle large scale infrastructure challenges, and shape how our engineering organization evolves. We operate in a fully remote environment that emphasizes ownership, autonomy, communication, and teamwork.
