[Hiring] Engineering Manager @Dotmatics

Role Description

Dotmatics is seeking a Team Lead / Staff Full Stack Engineer to join our Product Operations team. If you're a technically strong engineer who also genuinely enjoys growing the people around you — mentoring junior engineers, resolving friction before it becomes conflict, and building a team that does its best work — this role was written for you.

In this role you will get to:

• Technical leadership
  • Propose and own technical architecture decisions, balancing pragmatism with long-term scalability
  • Develop GraphQL and REST APIs and responsive front-ends using Node.js and React
  • Build reusable, best-practice components and shared libraries
  • Contribute to our multi-brand design system (Storybook) and Next.js-based web front-ends
  • Help scale our SaaS shared services platform (identity, billing, licensing, and more)
  • Own application performance and stability — monitoring error rates, reviewing system metrics, and leading the response to incidents
• Agentic engineering
  • Lead the team's adoption of agentic engineering practices — using AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code) not just for productivity, but to rethink how we approach complex, multi-step engineering tasks
  • Share learnings across the team and help establish best practices as this space evolves rapidly
• People & Team Mentorship
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and 1:1 guidance
  • Foster a psychologically safe team environment where engineers can raise concerns, ask questions, and grow
  • Act as a constructive mediator when technical disagreements or interpersonal friction arise
  • Collaborate closely with product managers and other team leads to align on vision and priorities
  • Support and collaborate with the Siemens team on integration projects

Qualifications

• At least 10 years of experience with at least 5+ years of experience building production web applications (full stack)
• 3 years in a mentorship/leadership role

Requirements

• Core Engineering
  • Strong Node.js skills and familiarity with the broader JS/TS ecosystem (npm, yarn, bundlers)
  • Experience architecting and building REST and/or GraphQL APIs
  • Advanced HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; strong TypeScript
  • Hands-on experience with React and component-based architecture
  • Familiarity with React frameworks such as Next.js or Gatsby
  • Comfortable with relational and non-relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
  • Knowledge of modern deployment practices: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines
  • Security-conscious: you think about auth, data protection, and attack surfaces as part of normal development
  • Experience with application performance monitoring and observability tools (e.g. Sentry for error tracking, Grafana for logs and system metrics)
• Agentic engineering experience
  • Hands-on experience using AI-assisted or agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot Workspace, or similar)
  • Ideally, experience going beyond autocomplete — using agents for code generation, refactoring, test writing, or multi-step task automation
• Leadership & soft skills
  • A natural mentor: you get genuine satisfaction from seeing junior engineers level up
  • A good listener: you make space for other perspectives before forming conclusions
  • Calm under pressure and skilled at navigating disagreements — between people or between competing technical approaches
  • Strong written and spoken English: you can explain complex technical ideas to both engineers and non-engineers

Benefits

• Dynamic, remote-friendly environment
• Collaborative global team
• Opportunity to accelerate scientific progress and discovery
