Description:

Grammarly is excited to offer a remote-first hybrid working model. Grammarly team members in this role must be based in Germany, and, depending on business needs, they must meet in person for collaboration weeks, traveling if necessary to the hub(s) where their team is based.
This flexible approach gives team members the best of both worlds: plenty of focus time along with in-person collaboration that fosters trust and unlocks creativity.

THE OPPORTUNITY

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Engineering Platform team. This role will manage and grow the team of engineers who build and scale our foundational infrastructure and develop best-in-class tooling to support all of Grammarly Engineering.
Grammarly’s Engineering Platform organization builds the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that will centralize and standardize infrastructure and core services management, allowing engineers to focus on delivering business value without getting bogged down by low-level complexities. We aim to ensure that every engineer can easily build, develop, and maintain any Grammarly product offering using our IDP. This role is instrumental in building an efficient engineering organization, which is critical to realizing our vision of improving lives by improving communication.
Grammarly’s engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. You can hear more from our team on our technical blog.

As an Engineering Manager, you will:

  • Lead and grow teams by attracting high-caliber senior talent.
  • Hire, develop, and manage engineers by fostering a psychological safety, diversity, and inclusion culture. The role is essential in creating a highly productive, healthy, and enjoyable working environment for the team.
  • Work with multiple complex technical domains (cloud infrastructure, developer tools, high-load production systems, shared infrastructure) and organizational contexts (engineering autonomy and productivity, incident management, security, reliability, etc.)
  • Collaborate with various stakeholders across the engineering organization and beyond and manage different dependencies.
  • Research and act based on feedback from the engineering team to improve the Developer Productivity.
  • Guide the team to build and operate services at an internet scale with high availability, reliability, and security.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Has a strong track record of building and leading productive engineering teams.
  • Can systematically break down ambiguous problems and build execution plans.
  • Demonstrates strong technical judgment on engineering architecture and product decisions.
  • Leads by example and sets the right context for decisions.
  • Builds strong relationships with their direct reports and peers across the company.
  • Nurtures their team’s talent and raises the technical talent bar when recruiting for their team.
  • Sets and communicates priorities for themselves and their team while driving execution.
  • Cares deeply, not only about the work but also how that work is accomplished.
  • Thrives in environments where it’s necessary to make decisions with incomplete information but can change course when presented with new data.
  • Is curious and has a learning mindset.
  • Expertise in infrastructure or developer productivity would be a plus.
  • Embodies our EAGER values—is ethical, adaptable, gritty, empathetic, and remarkable.
  • Is inspired by our MOVE principles, which are the blueprint for how things get done at Grammarly: move fast and learn faster, obsess about creating customer value, value impact over activity, and embrace healthy disagreement rooted in trust.
  • Is able to meet in person for their team’s scheduled collaboration weeks, traveling if necessary to the hub where their team is based.
