About the role

You'll lead the team responsible for Gamma's visual editor and all creative outputs, owning how millions of users create, edit, and share presentations, documents, and websites. This means shipping the editor experience (blocks, text editing, images, layouts, diagrams), polished outputs (present mode, document view, mobile responsiveness, PDF and PowerPoint export), and AI interactions that make changing layouts, tweaking design, and generating content feel effortless.

As Engineering Manager for the Editor team, you'll balance hands-on technical leadership with people management. You'll build and mentor a high-performing engineering team, partner closely with PM, design, and AI on technical feasibility and architecture decisions, and contribute to broader EPD leadership by proactively identifying opportunities and gaps. You'll hold the team to a high bar for craft while keeping delivery moving.

Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you'll do

• Build, mentor, coach, and grow a high-performing engineering team delivering on ambitious roadmap goals

• Partner closely with PM, design, and AI teams on technical feasibility, architecture decisions, and prioritization

• Contribute to broader engineering and EPD leadership by surfacing opportunities, risks, and misalignment early

• Balance craft and polish with delivery velocity, holding the team to a high bar while shipping consistently

• Review code, prototype solutions, and debug complex performance issues as a hands-on technical leader

What you'll bring

• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience at fast-moving companies, with at least 2 years managing and developing high-performing engineering teams

• Track record of shipping highly visual, polished consumer or prosumer products at scale, with the ability to inspire and hold others to a high bar for craft

• Hands-on technical ability to review code, prototype, and debug complex performance issues

• High empathy and EQ with a reflective, self-aware approach. You navigate difficult conversations with kindness and ground feedback in candor

• Strong technical depth in frontend (React/TypeScript), rendering performance, or rich text editors like ProseMirror, with experience building content editors, website builders, or design tools (Nice to have)

• Experience with AI product integration, LLM interactions, or generative UI (Nice to have)
