Engineering Manager (Unannounced Project)

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of ArenaNet. We are currently looking for an Engineering Manager (Unannounced Project) in United States.

As Engineering Manager, you will lead and empower a team of talented developers working on a new and unannounced gaming project. Your focus will be fostering a safe, collaborative, and innovative work environment where engineers can thrive and grow. You’ll act as a trusted mentor, bridging technical and non-technical teams, while championing best engineering practices and continuous delivery. This role offers the opportunity to shape team dynamics, influence production processes, and play a key role in building the future of a new game experience from the ground up.

Accountabilities:

• Guide and mentor a team of engineers, listening empathetically and helping them grow through coaching, feedback, and support.
• Foster a culture of safety, creativity, and collaboration, where individuals can be themselves and do their best work.
• Build trust within the team through transparency, consistency, and support — never through positional authority.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other departments to align technical goals with studio-wide initiatives and creative direction.
• Help define and evolve engineering production practices that serve both technical quality and team ownership.
• Champion quality code and good engineering practices by advocating for space and time to do things right.
• Hire and onboard new team members, focusing on building diverse and complementary skills within the team.
• Act as a communication bridge between engineering and non-technical stakeholders, promoting understanding and alignment.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• Minimum of 7 years’ experience as a software engineer or in support of engineering teams, with at least 3 years in a management role.
• Strong background in C++, C#, and Python.
• Deep understanding of agile development practices and continuous delivery of production services.
• Proven ability to lead with empathy, authenticity, and resilience — especially in dynamic or high-stakes environments.
• Experience in supporting AAA game development or similar large-scale software projects.
• Comfortable guiding both technical solutions and team dynamics with clarity and patience.
• Eligibility to work remotely from AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, ID, IL, MA, MD, NC, NY, OR, TX, UT, WA, WI, or from the Bellevue, WA office.

• Competitive remote salary: $172,645—$267,613.50 USD annually, plus bonus potential.
• Transparent pay range and growth opportunities within the role.
• Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Short- and long-term disability insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Generous PTO, paid holidays, and parental leave.
• Flexible spending accounts (healthcare and dependent care).
• Option for fully remote, hybrid, or in-office work models.
• A diverse, inclusive work culture where creativity and individuality are celebrated.
