About the roleAs 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.
