About the role

As an Engineering Manager II on our Platform Organization you will lead two squads that are foundational to how Housecall Pro scales: Search Platform and Identity & Access Management (IAM).

The Search Platform squad owns the infrastructure and tooling that powers search across our product - enabling domain teams to build fast, relevant search experiences. The IAM squad is responsible for building the core identity and access control layer - establishing scalable APIs for authentication and authorization, and enabling new user types and security models as the business grows.

Both squads operate as platform and enablement teams: they build the technical foundations that product and domain teams rely on to ship safely and at pace. You will drive the strategic direction for these areas and create the conditions for your engineers to do their best work.

This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of people leadership, technical depth, and cross-functional influence. You will partner closely with your Director, Staff Engineers, Product, and domain teams to translate business needs into platform capabilities.

Compensation: 9500 - 10200 USD per month

*We work in CET, but this role will occasionally require sync meetings with the US team, which may shift your workday to finish later in the afternoon (6:00 PM), as we operate with flexible hours.

What you do Each Day

Lead and manage two platform engineering squads: Search Platform and IAM
Drive the technical and strategic direction for search infrastructure (Elasticsearch, observability, developer-facing APIs) and identity & access management (authentication, authorization, RBAC, session management)
Partner with your Director and Staff Engineers to shape architecture decisions that support scalability, reliability, and a long term platform roadmap
Enable domain teams to build on top of your platforms effectively - through clear APIs, documentation, training, and hands-on consultation
Mentor and develop senior and staff-level engineers, fostering a culture of accountability and technical excellence
Monitor team health, progress, and delivery - removing roadblocks and ensuring your squads maintain momentum on high-impact work
Manage performance through regular feedback, career development conversations, and performance reviews
Champion observability, developer experience, and operational excellence across both platform domains
