About DataCamp At DataCamp, we believe in empowering individuals and teams through data literacy. As a leading platform for data science and analytics education, we offer engaging, interactive courses designed by top experts. Our mission is to make data skills accessible to everyone, helping learners and organizations thrive in the data-driven world. With a diverse community of millions of learners, we provide a supportive and dynamic environment where you can grow your career and make an impact. Join us and be part of our journey to democratize data education! About the role We're looking for an Engineering Manager who brings real passion, innovation, and entrepreneurial drive to leading the teams behind the systems that power how millions of people learn. You'll partner closely with Product and Design to shape your team's direction, drive execution, and continuously raise the bar on how we build and ship. You'll lead a cross-functional product engineering team that takes large, ambiguous projects from idea to impact with real autonomy — prototyping, measuring, and iterating in fast feedback loops rather than grinding through tickets. Your primary mission is to ensure the team ships high-quality software that delights learners, while cultivating a culture of ownership, urgency, and accountability. You'll also help drive the technical roadmap, balancing new feature development with platform robustness and performance. This is an AI-native organization, not an AI-curious one. Agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Codex are core to how the team works every day, alongside LLMs and AI APIs. As the manager, you set the tone: you're expected to be hands-on with these tools yourself, to push your engineers to use them to prototype faster and raise quality, and to build a team culture where AI fluency is the baseline, not a bonus. If you're excited about leading great engineers, shaping the future of how DataCamp builds and ships, and growing a team that operates at scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

Build and develop a high-performing full-stack team, and foster a culture of ownership, urgency, and accountability that gives engineers the autonomy to make their projects count. Drive delivery of high-quality software end to end — idea, build, release, measurement, iteration — balancing delivery speed with long-term code and platform health. Set a high bar for agentic tooling and keep raising it — so the team prototypes faster, ships higher-quality code, and spends more time on the problems that matter most. Partner with Product and Design to define and execute the team's roadmap, using data, metrics, and user feedback to decide what to build next. Lead technical decision-making and architecture for scalability, reliability, and maintainability — increasingly for LLM-powered services — and champion strong practices in testing, observability, and code quality. What are we looking for? You have 7+ years building software across the stack with a clear command of scalable system design, modern API design, and software lifecycle best practices — experience with our stack (TypeScript, Node.js, React) is a strong plus. You've spent 3+ years leading engineering teams and seen people grow under your guidance. You're a strong communicator — you listen well, speak clearly, and build trust across Product, Design, and Data. You thrive in fast-paced, high-velocity environments — start-up or early-stage experience — moving fast, staying focused on impact, and driving projects forward with a strong sense of ownership. Proven ability to deliver high-quality software in cross-functional product teams, taking large, ambiguous problems end to end. You're AI-native — agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex) are part of how you work, and you have a credible point of view on integrating them into an engineering team's workflow. Bonus if you've written your own skills or wired up MCP servers and can show us what you've built. A strong product mindset paired with pragmatism — you understand your users, weigh data and feedback with good taste, and make sharp trade-offs to drive decisions rather than chase perfection. What’s in it for you? In addition to joining a creative and international start-up, you'll enjoy: An exciting role with both technical and people leadership challenges every day. A competitive salary with fringe benefits. Flexible working hours and location. International company retreats. Learning and development. We encourage continued education through a conference budget and external training. Working with a great team (everyone says this, but we're serious — we're pretty great).
