Job Description

Reports to: CTO

SmartAssets is on the lookout for an experienced, pragmatic Engineering Manager (Full Stack) to lead day to day product delivery. In this role, you will sit over the engineering team, manage stakeholders, and raise the quality bar while keeping pace high. You will be accountable for shipping in small batches with fast feedback, so we learn quickly and deliver commercial value without drama.

About SmartAssets

Incubated within the Stagwell Marketing Cloud, our AI platform empowers brands to produce high quality advertising content by providing insight into the effectiveness of their creative choices. As part of the Stagwell Marketing Cloud, we leverage industry leading technology and enjoy privileged access to agencies across the advertising spectrum.

Our Values

• Collaboration. We bring together different expertise and challenge each other constructively. We build with mutual understanding and transparency.
• Curiosity. We want to know why an ad works or does not. Data is key to the creative process and helps us celebrate excellence in advertising.
• Commitment. We focus on what clients really need and deliver against that every single day.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end to end delivery of workflow heavy product features (creative review, approvals, permissions, auditability).
• Line manage and coach engineers: set expectations, give feedback, unblock progress, and raise the baseline of the team.
• Own engineering quality: code review standards, pragmatic testing strategy, CI hygiene, and clear definition of done.
• Partner with Product and Delivery Ops to translate PRDs into shippable increments with clear acceptance criteria and trade-offs.
• Make fast, well reasoned technical calls that protect platform integrity without slowing delivery.
• Coordinate dependencies across functions and communicate delivery reality clearly: options, risks, and commercial impact.

Requirements:
• Proven experience managing engineers in a product environment (startup or scale‑up preferred).

• Full‑stack capability: enough depth to review, unblock, and guide design across frontend and backend.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: API design, data modelling, testing, and operational readiness.
• Comfortable operating in AdTech / creative ops environments where speed, compliance, and auditability matter.
• Strong stakeholder management: can frame trade-offs clearly (scope, risk, time, quality) and prevent relitigation.
• Commercially sensitive: optimises for value shipped and adoption, not perfectionism.

Tech Stack:

• React, TypeScript, Java 17+, python (FastAPI)
• NoSQL databases
• GCP (or any other cloud experience)
• Containerization (Docker), CI/CD
• Familiarity with ML pipelines and media processing is a plus

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related field) or equivalent practical experience.
• Leadership and delivery track record.

Experience

• Demonstrated experience leading delivery across cross functional teams (Product, Design, Engineering, Ops).
• Evidence of raising engineering standards while maintaining high delivery pace
• Experience mentoring and developing engineers, including performance and growth conversations.
