Who we are

OurPetPolicy provides a compliance-focused platform that helps property managers track animals on residential properties, maintain accurate records, and comply with applicable Fair Housing laws. Our platform supports property managers, applicants, and internal teams through scalable software systems, workflow automation, and enterprise-level integrations.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead and grow our engineering team as OurPetPolicy continues to scale.

This role is equal parts technical leadership and people leadership. You'll mentor developers, improve engineering processes, help shape our technical roadmap, and ensure the team delivers high-quality software. You'll work closely with product and leadership while remaining technically involved enough to guide architecture, review code, and help solve complex technical challenges.

Our engineering team spans multiple time zones, so we're looking for someone with experience leading distributed teams and building a collaborative engineering culture.

You'll also play an important role in helping us evaluate our engineering infrastructure and tooling as we grow. Rather than owning every technical discipline yourself, you'll help determine where automation, modern platforms, or specialized resources can best support the team.

• Remove roadblocks and help the team execute efficiently.
• Monitor project progress and communicate priorities, risks, and timelines to stakeholders.
• Evaluate new technologies, frameworks, and engineering tools that improve team productivity.
• Collaborate with infrastructure and DevOps resources to ensure reliable, secure, and scalable systems.
• Contribute to software development when appropriate, particularly on architectural or complex technical work.
