Position Description
Tenna is seeking an Engineering Manager to connect engineering execution with product delivery. Reporting to engineering leadership, the Engineering Manager leads multiple development teams and is responsible for the full people-management lifecycle, including hiring, performance, and staffing. This role partners with Product on priorities and trade-offs, manages schedules, dependencies, and execution risk, and holds technical leads accountable for design quality and delivery commitments. The Engineering Manager does not set product direction or perform hands-on technical work; the focus is on driving execution through the team.
The ideal candidate is an experienced people manager with the technical credibility to engage substantively with the team's work. Having begun your career as a technical contributor before moving into leadership, you bring a proven record of developing engineers and delivering product through your teams. You are technical enough to evaluate estimates, identify design risks before they escalate, and partner effectively with technical leads, while recognizing that your primary contribution is leadership rather than implementation. You understand the product well enough to make sound trade-off decisions and to identify issues early. Sounds like you? Apply now!

- Develops Tech Leads in their roles, supporting their growth in design ownership, technical mentorship, and delivery accountability.
