**About the Team** We create and maintain tools (software and systems) used by many teams for critical workloads to help them reliably build and deploy Helpshift products. We own the entire release and build setup and processes at Helpshift. As the Developer Productivity team, our mission is to improve the efficiency, speed, and happiness of the entire engineering organization. We are responsible for everything from build and testing automation to the packaging and release of the final product. We identify bottlenecks across the SDLC, remove friction points, expand our deployment automation, and manage the infrastructure that supports our dev/test environments. Working with Jenkins, Containerization, Custom Tooling (in Clojure, Python), and Ansible workflows, we influence the solution and business strategy necessary to transform how Helpshift builds software. **About the Role** We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead, inspire, and grow the Developer Productivity team. In this role, you will balance technical leadership with people management. You will not just manage tasks; you will shape the vision for Helpshiftʼs developer experience (DevEx). You will collaborate closely with other engineering leaders to understand their friction points, define the roadmap for our CI/CD and infrastructure tooling, and empower your team to build highly scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions. If you are passionate about developer advocacy, love optimizing complex systems, and thrive on mentoring high-performing engineers, this role is for you. **Responsibilities** * People Leadership & Growth: Mentor, coach, and manage a team of high-performing engineers. Conduct regular 1-on-1s, drive career growth conversations, and foster a culture of ownership, high quality, and continuous learning. * Strategic Roadmap & Vision: Define the long-term vision and quarterly roadmaps for developer productivity and platform engineering at Helpshift.
