[Hiring] Engineering Manager, Developer Infrastructure @Fullscript

Role Description

We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead our backend infrastructure team. This role combines people leadership, technical direction, and project execution. You’ll grow a strong team, set a clear roadmap, and guide decisions that improve application health and developer productivity.

You’ll stay close to the technical work through solution design, code review, and hands-on contributions where they’re most useful. You’ll also partner with engineering leaders and product teams to prioritize platform investments, coordinate changes, and connect technical improvements to business needs.

What You'll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop engineers through clear expectations, regular feedback, career development, and performance management.
• Build a team culture grounded in ownership, collaboration, learning, and technical excellence.
• Own the team’s roadmap, balancing immediate developer needs, foundational improvements, and long-term application health.
• Guide technical direction for our Rails monolith, improving code structure, maintainability, scalability, reliability, and security.
• Lead foundational upgrades across Ruby, Rails, and related frameworks and dependencies, coordinating migration and release plans with affected teams.
• Improve developer productivity through shared tooling, CI checks, testing infrastructure, documentation, and simpler development workflows.
• Oversee shared application infrastructure, including feature flags, end-to-end tests, and infrastructure-as-code within the monolith.
• Coordinate cross-team projects, making scope, ownership, dependencies, risks, and progress clear.
• Partner with product engineering teams to resolve recurring technical problems and support adoption of shared tools and standards.
• Define and track meaningful outcomes, such as faster feedback cycles, fewer recurring failures, and less time spent working around platform limitations.

How We Expect You To Think

• Developers are your users. Understand their day-to-day problems and involve them in shaping solutions.
• Platform work should produce clear outcomes. Connect investments to developer productivity, application reliability, and product delivery.
• Standards work best when they’re practical, well explained, and supported by tooling that makes them easy to follow.
• Modernization should be incremental and purposeful. Improve existing systems with a clear understanding of the benefits, costs, and migration risks.
• Adoption is part of delivery. Documentation, communication, and support matter alongside implementation.
• Strong people leadership creates technical ownership. Give engineers context, clear expectations, and room to make decisions.
• Balance today’s commitments with tomorrow’s maintenance costs. Make tradeoffs explicit and revisit them as needs change.

What You Bring

• Experience managing software engineers, including coaching, career development, performance management, and hiring.
• Must have a strong backend engineering background with Ruby on Rails and experience maintaining production applications.
• Sound technical judgment across application architecture, testing, performance, reliability, and security.
• Experience leading platform, infrastructure, developer experience, or other technical work that serves multiple teams.
• Strong project and program management skills, including coordinating dependencies, managing delivery risks, and guiding changes through rollout.
• The ability to turn broad technical needs into a prioritized roadmap and communicate why the work matters.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to build agreement across teams with different priorities.
• Comfort moving between people management, technical guidance, and delivery, while helping engineers take ownership.

Bonus

• Experience evolving a large Rails monolith or supporting high-scale web applications.
• Experience leading major framework upgrades or migrations across multiple teams.
• Experience improving CI pipelines, test suites, feature flag systems, or developer tooling.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, React, Remix, or GraphQL.
• Experience in e-commerce or health tech.
• Experience thoughtfully applying AI-assisted tools to engineering workflows, with attention to code quality, security, and maintainability.

• Generous PTO and competitive pay
• Fullscript’s RRSP match program for financial health
• Flexible benefits package and workplace wellness program
• Training budget and company-wide learning initiatives
• Discount on Fullscript catalog of products
• Ability to work Wherever You Work Well*
