Software Engineering Manager (Core Workspaces) - Coder

As an Engineering Manager on Coder’s Core Workspaces team, you’ll lead engineers building and evolving the systems behind our agentic development experience. You’ll help make agents more capable, reliable, and useful across real development environments.

You’ll guide technical direction while growing the team and keeping execution sharp. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, and Design across the agent harness, integrations, and developer workflows.

What you’ll do here

• Lead and grow a team within our Workspaces organization.
• Set technical direction across the agent harness, integrations, and workflows.
• Stay close to the code and contribute to architecture and implementation decisions.
• Evolve agent execution, tool use, context management, streaming, and long-running workflows.
• Extend our provider-agnostic architecture as models and capabilities change.
• Partner with Product and Design to turn agent capabilities into useful developer experiences.
• Improve reliability, performance, and operability across agentic systems.
• Coach engineers, raise the technical bar, and create clarity around priorities and tradeoffs.

What we’re looking for

• Experience managing and growing software engineering teams.
• Strong hands-on engineering experience with React and TypeScript.
• Experience with Go.
• Hands-on experience building systems around LLMs and agentic workflows.
• Experience with model APIs, tool calling, context management, or agent loops.
• Strong distributed systems knowledge.
• Working knowledge of AWS.
• Strong technical judgment and comfort working through ambiguity.
• A track record of helping engineers grow while maintaining a high execution bar.

Bonus points if you have

• Experience building coding agents, developer tools, or cloud development environments.
• Experience with MCP, agent tools, or multi-agent systems.
• Experience with remote execution, sandboxing, or isolated compute.
• Experience building abstractions across multiple model providers.
• Deep experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, or Linux.
• Open-source contributions or experience working directly with customers.

Our tech stack

• Backend: Go, Postgres
• Frontend: TypeScript, React
• Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes
• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions

Coder’s agentic architecture is provider-agnostic. The foundation is built; this team is focused on making it more capable, reliable, and extensible as the space evolves.
