About VSCO For years, we've helped photographers create their work. Now we're building what comes next. VSCO exists for photographers. Not as a side feature, not as an afterthought, but as the whole point. We build the connected system photographers rely on, and we've spent over a decade earning the trust of a global creative community that takes the craft seriously. Photography is at an inflection point. AI is reshaping what's possible for creative work, and that's where our mission shines. VSCO is building the full photographer's workflow: from creating and editing your work, to delivering it to clients, to running your business. All of it built thoughtfully, with photographers leading the way. We believe the future of photography tools creates more space for creativity, handling the busy work so photographers can focus on the craft. If you care about craft, community, and what technology can unlock for creative people, this is the work. We're a mission-driven and focused company where your work ships quickly, is meaningful, and reaches tens of millions of people worldwide. You'll have a real say in what we build and how we build it. We hire people who don't wait to be asked, naturally connect the dots, care about the quality of what they ship, and believe the best outcomes come from building together. About you We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a team of server, web, and full-stack engineers building a business management platform designed for professional photographers, offering tools for client management, scheduling, invoicing, and workflow automation to help streamline and grow their businesses.  The day to day Leading and growing engineers. Hiring, coaching, and developing the team. Structuring the team so the right people are in the right roles, placing your strongest technical contributors where they'll have the most impact, and helping everyone advance their careers. Stay hands-on technically and lead as a player-coach. Review code, directly contribute, and maintain a deep understanding of the systems your team owns, including how they integrate with the broader VSCO platform. By staying close to the work, you'll bring informed perspectives to technical decisions, guide architectural direction, and help the team deliver high-quality solutions. Owning outcomes end-to-end. Defining and refining the roadmap with your team and XFN partners, breaking down work, setting success metrics, and holding the team accountable for delivering high-quality results. Removing obstacles. Embracing "all problems are my problem." When your team or XFN partners hit a blocker, you help them get unstuck, whether that means escalating, adjusting scope, or having hard conversations. Collaborating across VSCO. Partnering with product, design, data science, and other engineering teams to cut through ambiguity, design shared primitives, and shape a shared product vision.  Qualifications 10+ years of software engineering experience...
