Description

For millions of teams working in dozens of industries, day-to-day business gets done on the phone. So why—despite the huge leaps we've taken in design and usability—does most business phone software still look, feel, and act like it was born in the 90s? OpenPhone is changing that.

We’re a new type of business phone with a mission to help people communicate better and be more productive.

We’re backed by Y Combinator and some of the best venture firms around including Tiger Global, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and others. We take pride in providing an exceptional customer experience and a product people love, which is why we’re excited that our customers have rated us the #1 VoIP Provider on G2.

OpenPhone is the modern, sophisticated answer to the clunky, outdated phone systems that have been slowing down businesses for years. And after earning over 20,000 happy customers and $56 million in funding in just four years, it's safe to say we're onto something big.

As an Engineering Manager, you'll play a key role in building the OpenPhone technical experience. We're looking for an Engineering Leader who is passionate about people growth and organizational development. You'll help build the products and practices that will support OpenPhone's growth over the years to come. You'll reimagine our platform and build highly leveraged products that enable OpenPhone to support the best customers in the world. If you see how incredible people and organizational development products can transform a business, OpenPhone is the place for you.

Here are some things you'll do:

• Lead and grow engineering teams committed to building the innovative products that make OpenPhone the best place in the world to work
• Work effectively cross-functionally to drive change and influence product and process decisions
• Help to shape thinking around designing scalable products and business processes/programs to support OpenPhone's rapid growth
• Be both a deep technical leader and a thoughtful people manager
• Champion engineering excellence, establish business metrics, and drive continuous operational improvement
