Your impact on the team

We’re looking for a **Sr. Manager of Software Engineering** at McGraw Hill who thrives on growing people, organizing teams for consistent delivery, and partnering across disciplines to ship high-impact products. This role is critical to the success of a maturing product line and a growing team, with a strong focus on execution, feedback, and talent development.

This is a remote position open to applicants authorized to work for any employer within the United States.

How can you make an Impact?

You’ll operate as a steadying force and connector in our Assess program - supporting team health, developing future leaders, and driving progress on a high-visibility product roadmap. You’ll be hands-on with delivery, coaching, planning, and cross-functional partnerships while creating an environment where engineers thrive.

+ Drive delivery: Bring clarity and structure to delivery plans. Ensure teams are organized and iterating toward outcomes.

+ Coach and develop: Support career growth and mentorship for engineers, with a near-term goal of promoting senior engineers, leads, and principals from within.

+ Own engineering roadmaps: Translate strategic objectives into technical plans. Prioritize and drive alignment around key initiatives, including tech debt remediation and long-term architectural goals.

+ Challenge directly while caring deeply: Foster a feedback-rich culture by pairing honest, constructive conversations with genuine investment in people’s growth, well-being and success.

+ Partner cross-functionally: Act as a catalyst across Engineering, Product, UX, and SRE. Help bridge gaps, drive alignment, and make tradeoffs visible.

+ Lead with context: Represent the team in exec meetings, tell the story behind the work, and help guide prioritization and change.

+ Support team culture: Reinforce our mission-driven, people-first culture while fostering a high-talent, high-accountability environment that delivers real impact.

What can you bring to the role?

+ You have 3+ years of experience directly managing an organization of 10+ distributed engineers, including senior ICs and early-career talent. You structure your teams for success, set clear expectations, and drive performance through proactive ownership of team outcomes.

+ You have technical experience building scalable, performant and reliable SaaS applications. You guide individual contributors so that they learn to do the same.

+ You turn ambiguity into action - quickly identifying what matters, aligning stakeholders, and driving progress without waiting for perfect conditions.

+ You’ve led internationally-distributed engineering teams - building trust, alignment, and cohesion across time zones, cultures, and communication styles.

+ You know how to balance delivery with empathy - you challenge directly but care personally.

+ You enjoy partnering closely with Product, SRE, and Design - and can confidently contribute perspective, ask the right questions, and build alignment to achieve the best outcomes.

+ You are motivated by growing people, not just shipping features.

+ You break down long-term goals into clear, actionable plans that drive consistent, measurable outcomes.

+ You prioritize system stability, ensuring issues are identified and resolved before they impact customers.

The technologies you’ll work with and guide the team in include:

+ Back-end: Node.js (most common), Java, Go

+ Front-end: TypeScript, Angular, RxJS, NgRx, React, and Playwright

+ Relational (MySQL and PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB) databases

+ CI/CD and Infrastructure: GitHub (for version control & Actions), Docker, Kubernetes, New Relic

+ Amazon Web Services (AWS): EKS, RDS, Lambda, and many other services

+ Collaboration: JIRA, Confluence, Zoom, Slack, and Office 365
