Job description
Overview
HarperCollins Christian Publishing is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and highly values diverse backgrounds and insights that fuel our innovation.
The Engineering Manager is a player/coach leader responsible for both people/delivery leadership and hands-on technical contribution for a cross-functional engineering team (web and app developers, QA, Sysadmin, and project manager). This role will build and maintain a high-performing, accountable team and will actively contribute code where it has the most leverage—unblocking delivery, accelerating critical initiatives, improving quality, and strengthening platform reliability. This role supports high-visibility properties like the Bible Gateway website and app and Study Gateway, as well as some other properties.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery outcomes: planning, estimation, scope negotiation, sequencing, dependency management, and risk mitigation.
- Partner with Product/Design/Stakeholders to translate priorities into executable plans and clear milestones.
- Run or improve agile ceremonies and team rituals; drive continuous improvement in throughput and predictability.
- Manage and coach engineers across disciplines (web, app, QA, systems), including goal-setting, feedback, and performance reviews.
- Develop career growth plans and ensure the team has clarity on expectations, roles, and ways of working.
- Support hiring, onboarding, and team structure decisions to match roadmap needs.
- Communicate status, tradeoffs, and risks clearly to technical and non-technical partners.
- Align with Security/IT as needed on access, compliance, security, and best practices.
- Contribute production code as needed across key services/applications (e.g., complex features, integrations, performance work, tooling).
- Jump in to unblock the team: debugging, spike/prototype work, targeted refactors, and closing priority gaps.
- Set and model engineering standards through real participation: code reviews, testing practices, documentation, and operational readiness.
- Partner with the Engineering Lead on architecture decisions; ensure consistency across systems and components.
- Determine where best to deploy AI and other modern tooling.
- Drive a strong quality culture with QA and engineering: test strategy, automation, release criteria, defect triage, and regression control.
- Partner with infrastructure engineer to ensure reliable environments, monitoring, incident response, and postmortems.
Qualifications
Work Experience:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years leading teams (people management). Experience managing mixed teams (web, app, QA, systems) a plus.
- Experience delivering customer-facing web and/or application products with a strong SDLC discipline.
- Proven track record improving engineering processes (delivery predictability, quality, reliability).
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent work experience)
Skills:
- Strong technical judgment: can dive deep when needed, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and keep systems maintainable.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, observability, incident management, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with the Bible a plus, but not a requirement.
- Knowledge of PHP, MySQL, and system architecures.
- Experience with Laravel, WordPress, and Drupal a plus.
- Knowledge of AWS (EC2, S3, DynamoDB, Lambda) a plus.
