Engineering Manager: Core Applications Platform

About Copia

Copia Automation builds the version control and change management platform for industrial automation. Our customers are in oil & gas, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure: environments where the code running on PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs have direct safety implications. We bring modern software engineering practices to operational technology teams that have been underserved by tooling for decades.

We’re a well-funded startup growing fast, with enterprise customers deploying Copia across hundreds of facilities. Our headquarters is in New York City.

The Role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to stand up and lead a brand-new Core Applications Platform team. This team’s customers are our internal product teams, and its mandate is to design, build, and own the shared, full-stack application capabilities that every product at Copia depends on; the kind of capabilities that should be solved once, well, and reused across many user types.

Reporting into the VP of Engineering, you will lead a group of full-stack software engineers and partner closely with the Product, Design, and other Engineering leaders whose teams rely on what you build. You’ll support, mentor, and grow your team while staying close enough to the technology to provide meaningful architectural input, code review, and the occasional pull request.

This role is a great fit for a hands-on line manager who is excited by the challenge of building a new team from scratch and shaping how an entire engineering organization builds product. You must be comfortable collaborating through ambiguity, while supporting your team to drive predictable velocity as we continue to scale the organization.
