The Opportunity

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Coda Core Experience team. Coda at Grammarly is on a mission to make docs and app-building radically simpler for everyone, from solo creators to the world’s largest enterprises. As Engineering Manager for the Core Experience team, you will join EPD leadership team responsible for:

  • Owning the product surface that millions see first. You’ll lead the team responsible for the doc surface, building blocks, and end user interactions that define how people create, share, and extend Coda.
  • Launching our next-generation application builder. You will spearhead the creation of a brand-new surface that empowers users to craft full-fledged apps, bringing powerful workflows to life without writing code.
  • Driving full-stack craftsmanship. From rich, reactive front-end UI to performant application logic, you’ll champion engineering designs that delight users while scaling gracefully.
  • Scaling a high-performing team. You’ll grow the group from 5 to ~12 engineers, raise the hiring bar, and develop rising stars while addressing performance gaps quickly and compassionately.
  • Shipping fast, learning faster. Partnering with Product, Design, and Data Science, you’ll turn vision into clear scopes, keep execution unblocked, and iterate in tight feedback loops.
  • Shaping the future of Coda. Your work will unlock new consumer and managed-funnel use cases, influence platform direction, and set patterns adopted across the company.

If you thrive on blending hands-on technical depth with coaching and product thinking—and want your decisions to impact millions of creators—this role is for you.

Grammarly’s engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. You can hear more from our team on our technical blog.

    • Track record of guiding architecture decisions for complex, user-facing products.
  • Execution Rigor
    • Proven ability to turn ambiguous product ideas into shipped features on aggressive timelines.
    • Strong project-management and estimation skills; you can spot risk early and keep schedules realistic without sacrificing quality.

    • Commitment to fostering an inclusive, high-accountability culture where top performers thrive.
