## About this role.

AI SummaryFieldguide is hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead its Core team building and scaling enterprise audit and assurance product experiences. The role combines approximately 70% people management with 30% coding, implementation guidance, and architectural decision-making. The manager will coordinate rapid product requests alongside multi-quarter platform investments, including versioning, design-system improvements, NPS initiatives, and internal-audit capabilities. Success requires strong full-stack expertise in React, TypeScript, Postgres, and Hasura, as well as effective coaching and remote-first operating practices. The team also expects the leader to promote safe, practical adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows.

Sample interview questionsHow would you balance the role's stated 70% management and 30% hands-on engineering responsibilities?I would protect recurring time for one-to-ones, coaching, planning, and cross-functional alignment, while reserving focused technical time for architecture reviews, high-leverage implementation work, and unblocking difficult problems. I would avoid becoming the default owner for feature delivery, instead using coding time to improve team velocity and technical quality.

Describe how you would manage a team handling both urgent product requests and multi-quarter platform investments.

I would maintain a transparent prioritization process that separates interrupts from planned work, defines service expectations for urgent requests, and allocates explicit capacity to strategic investments. Regular roadmap reviews with product and design would make tradeoffs visible and allow the team to protect critical platform milestones.

What approach would you take to architectural decisions in a React, TypeScript, Postgres, and Hasura environment?

I would start with customer and operational requirements, then facilitate lightweight design reviews that document alternatives, constraints, ownership, and expected outcomes. I would favor incremental, observable changes with clear API and data-model boundaries, while ensuring the team addresses performance, reliability, security, and maintainability.

How would you introduce AI-assisted development practices while maintaining engineering quality and safety?

I would begin with practical, low-risk use cases such as test generation, code explanation, documentation drafts, and developer workflow automation. I would establish guidance on approved tools, data handling, human review, testing, and security, then measure whether the practices improve cycle time and quality before scaling them.

How do you coach an established, high-functioning engineering team without creating unnecessary process?

I would first learn the team's existing strengths, delivery patterns, and pain points through one-to-ones and observation. I would introduce changes only where they solve a clear problem, set measurable expectations, and empower senior engineers to lead improvements while providing consistent feedback, recognition, and growth opportunities.
