Gametime is a live-experience marketplace platform operating across iOS, Android, mobile web, and desktop, supporting over 60,000 events across the US and Canada. The company's mission is to unite the world through shared experiences by making it easy for people to discover and access live events that matter most.
The Fan Experience team owns how fans discover, decide on, and purchase tickets on the demand side of the marketplace—the core experience for millions of ticket buyers. As Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of full-stack and front-end engineers building the features and value propositions that define how fans experience Gametime. You'll partner day-to-day with a dedicated Product Manager and Designer to move quickly from idea to production.
This is a hands-on role where you'll spend meaningful time coding alongside your team, setting the standard for how the team uses frontier AI models, AI coding agents/harnesses, and modern tooling to generate, review, test, and monitor code. You'll raise both velocity and quality as the bar for what's possible keeps moving. The role reports to the VP of Product.
Key responsibilities include:
- Hands-on leadership: spend a meaningful share of your time actually coding alongside the team, leading from the front
- AI-forward engineering: set the standard for how your team uses frontier models, AI coding agents, and new tooling to increase velocity and quality together
- Cross-functional partnership: partner closely, day-to-day, with a dedicated PM and Designer; bring a real point of view on what should be built, not just how to build it
- Velocity investment: identify and invest in tooling, domain foundation design, tech debt paydown, and better use of AI in the development loop
- Risk partnership: surface risks in proposed work and bring concrete recommendations for mitigation
- Delivery: own the engineering roadmap and execution plan for your area, balancing speed, quality, and technical debt
- Mentorship and talent bar: mentor engineers toward their next career level, hold a high talent bar for hiring and performance, and help level up talent on other teams
- Cross-team technical leadership: partner with engineering leads on other teams to improve the marketplace more broadly
Requirements:
- Hands-on engineering manager comfortable spending real time writing and reviewing code alongside your team
- Direct experience using frontier models, AI coding agents/harnesses, and modern tooling to meaningfully improve engineering velocity and quality, with a point of view on where this is headed
- Track record of shipping consumer-facing product features that moved measurable business outcomes
- Strong cross-functional partnership skills—comfortable operating as a true peer to Product and Design with your own opinions on what should be built
- Experience managing full-stack and/or front-end engineering teams with meaningful people-management experience (typically 5+ years in engineering, including several as a manager)
- Familiarity with SQL/analytics to diagnose funnel and feature performance
- Experience leading full-stack teams with end-to-end ownership of consumer-facing web and mobile products, backend services, and APIs in a high-traffic marketplace or e-commerce environment
- Strong understanding of modern front-end stacks (e.g., React and React Native), backend services, APIs, and full-stack architecture, with technical depth to lead teams across the stack
- Experience partnering with Product and Design in a fast-moving, iterative environment (feature flags, A/B testing, rapid experimentation)
- Data-driven approach to prioritization and technical trade-offs
Nice to have:
- Experience in consumer marketplaces or high-intent, high-conversion consumer apps
- Track record of building or championing internal tooling/platform investments that compounded team velocity over time
