Who You Are

Not only do you have the broad, extensive knowledge of core software development technologies, but you also have a high level of empathy and the interpersonal skills to work cross-functionally in an organization. You can grasp and communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Being able to see the bigger picture, you bring people together to effectively prioritize, craft, and achieve plans.

As an Engineering Manager at Justworks, you will help build and oversee a team of software engineers as a player-coach. You are responsible for coordinating projects, setting priorities, and motivating engineers to create and maintain features for our customers. The role involves a mix of hands-on coding and a strong technical background, with a passion for mentoring and growing teams.

What You Will Work On The Onboarding teams transforms a weeks-long, support-heavy onboarding process into a fully self-serve experience, leveraging AI-powered data ingestion and real-time validation to take companies from signed contract to running payroll in a matter of days. A core part of this work is unifying how people join Justworks — today, full-time, contractor, and international hires across PEO, ASO, and EOR each follow entirely different flows, and this role brings them all into one. Ultimately, this is about building the first product experience every new customer has.

If onboarding feels hard, nothing else matters — making this role a direct driver of activation rate, time-to-first-payroll, and onboarding completion.
