About this role.
CodePath seeks an Engineering Project Manager to coordinate delivery, quality assurance, and cross-functional communication for its learning-platform applications. The role partners closely with a small engineering team to manage work in progress, surface blockers, run the bug pipeline, and provide status reporting. It is a hands-on role that includes manual and automated testing, with AI-assisted automation and Capybara test-writing where valuable. The successful candidate will balance useful operational structure with the speed and ambiguity of a scaling education technology organization. Eligibility is remote across the United States, Canada, Europe, and LATAM, with the disclosed US salary adjusted for other regions.

Sample interview questions
I would begin by mapping the current workflow and identifying the few decisions that need consistent visibility: priorities, owners, delivery status, blockers, and release readiness. I would implement lightweight tracking and short, outcome-focused check-ins, then refine the process based on whether it helps the team make faster decisions.
I would first reproduce the issue and document its expected versus actual behavior, affected users, environment, severity, and any available logs or stack traces. I would coordinate with engineering to assess impact and remediation options, communicate a clear status to stakeholders, verify the fix in the appropriate environment, and ensure the outcome is recorded for future prevention.
I prioritize automation for high-risk, repetitive, stable workflows that are exercised often, especially regression-prone user journeys. I would keep exploratory, rapidly changing, or highly subjective checks manual until the workflow stabilizes, weighing maintenance cost against the confidence and time saved by automation.
I would use AI to accelerate repetitive tasks such as drafting test cases, summarizing issue reports, identifying missing acceptance criteria, and suggesting test coverage. However, I would validate outputs against product requirements and real system behavior, protect sensitive data, and retain human accountability for prioritization, release decisions, and quality conclusions.
I communicate early, clearly, and with a recommendation. I explain the risk, scope and user impact, confidence level, dependencies, available options, and the decision needed; then I tailor technical detail for engineers while giving non-technical stakeholders an understandable view of timeline and trade-offs.

About the Role
Location: Remote (United States, Europe, Canada, or LATAM)
Role Type: Full-Time
Reporting to: VP of Engineering
Compensation: $140,000 to $178,000 per year for US-based applicants. Adjusted contingent on location for applicants based in Canada, LATAM, and Europe.
CodePath’s educational programs run on our learning platform, a set of applications spanning admissions, course delivery, grading, career coaching, and reporting. A small engineering team builds and maintains all of it. As we build more and serve more learners, we need someone whose job is to keep that work organized, tested, and moving.
We’re looking for an Engineering Project Manager who works alongside our engineers day to day. You’ll keep projects organized and moving, make sure what we build gets tested and bugs get fixed, and keep the engineers, the product team, and the internal teams who use our tools in sync.
Key Activities
Keep engineering projects organized and moving: track what’s in flight, flag what’s blocked, and help the team stay clear on what’s next
Own quality: test what we build, use AI to automate the repetitive parts, and write Capybara tests where they’re worth it
Run the bug pipeline: reproduce issues, prioritize them, route them to the right engineer, and confirm the fix
Be the day-to-day connection between the engineers, the product team, and the internal teams who use our tools
Work with us to determine when adding process or rituals might be useful, but being thoughtful about the cost and friction
Report on status so the team and leadership know where things stand
Qualifications
4+ years in a project management, delivery, or QA role, ideally on a small engineering team
Technical enough to work closely with engineers: you can reproduce a bug, read a stack trace, and write a test case to automate fixing it
Hands-on QA experience: you’ve owned testing and a bug pipeline, manual or automated
Comfort using AI tools to automate work you used to do by hand
Good judgment about process: you add structure when it helps and leave it out when it doesn’t
Strong written and verbal communication, and you work well with people
Comfort with ambiguity and small-team dynamics. You’ve worked without heavy process and know how to keep things moving without it
Passion for education and desire to make a positive impact
Nice to Haves
Familiarity with Ruby on Rails or Django codebases, the stacks we run
Experience with Capybara, RSpec, or comparable testing tools
Experience working with product managers and non-technical stakeholders
Experience as the first project manager or QA hire on a team
Compensation
CodePath has standardized salaries based on the position’s level, no matter where you live.

Adjusted contingent on location for applicants based in Canada, LATAM, and Europe. Salary is determined based on your relevant experience and skills as evaluated through our interview process.
