Open role
[Remote] Engineering Manager, Compose
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Mural is hiring an Engineering Manager for its Compose team, which is developing an AI-native product. The role leads the engineering team and owns delivery, technical quality, and product collaboration as the product grows from early access to everyday customer use.
Responsibilities
- Lead, hire, and grow a team of full-stack engineers through regular 1:1s, clear expectations, coaching, and performance management
- Own delivery end to end with a fast, experimental loop: ship early to real users, measure what works, and iterate quickly without losing reliability
- Partner with Product and Design as co-owners of the Compose roadmap, using customer feedback and usage data to decide what to build, cut, or double down on
- Raise engineering craft across testing, observability, and AI-assisted development, and model Mural's remote-first, work-in-public culture at a sustainable pace
Skills
- 2+ years managing software engineers directly, with responsibility for hiring, coaching, and performance management
- 5+ years of prior experience as a software engineer building and operating production applications, with hands-on technical work in the last 3–4 years
- A solid technical foundation, enough to lead architecture discussions and review code with credibility
- A bias for experimentation: you make sound calls quickly, learn from data, and change course when the evidence says so
- A people-first approach: you lead with empathy, listen first, and build the trust and psychological safety that help each person do their best work
- Excellent communication skills, including explaining technical tradeoffs clearly to product, business, and customer stakeholders
- Experience leading a team that shipped LLM-powered features to production, including evaluation, quality monitoring, and cost management
- Experience building AI agents, retrieval systems, knowledge graphs, or familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Benefits
- Remote work
