Title
Product & Engineering Manager - SaaS Applications
Summary
Jolly is a Silicon Valley-based software company with more than 40,000 customers and millions of users, including many Fortune 500 companies and world-renowned organizations.
Job Description
We are looking for a highly technical Product & Engineering Manager to lead product direction, engineering execution, and delivery across our SaaS products. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a traditional project management position.
The ideal candidate began as a software engineer and progressed into hands-on engineering leadership. You must have direct people-management responsibility - including hiring, performance management, and making staffing decisions - not just project, process, or product ownership. You should be technically strong, able to understand the product and architecture deeply, work directly with engineers, and manage distributed teams across multiple countries.
Working Hours
Fully remote, work-from-home contract position. Our engineering teams are distributed across North America, Europe, and Asia. Working hours are flexible, with a few core overlap hours for collaboration.
Responsibilities
Directly manage engineers, including hiring, performance management, coaching, and staffing decisions
Build and lead distributed engineering teams across multiple countries, ensuring effective collaboration and accountability
Own product priorities, roadmap decisions, and feature planning
Decide what should be built, why it matters, and what should be prioritized
Lead and manage engineering teams, including team structure and engineer assignments
Translate product priorities into development plans, sprints, and releases
Drive execution and ensure releases are delivered on time and at high quality
Understand software architecture, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, and development workflows
Personally investigate, reproduce, and test product issues when necessary; do not rely solely on QA reports
Configure and manage Jira workflows, boards, projects, dashboards, and reporting directly
Identify technical, product, resource, and delivery risks and drive them to resolution
Work directly with engineers, QA, DevOps, and other technical teams
Improve engineering processes, development practices, release quality, and team productivity
Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a closely related technical field
Must have started career as a software engineer/developer
Proven record of excellent software development and technical problem-solving
Progression from hands-on software engineering into engineering/team leadership
Strong understanding of modern software architecture, development, testing, and deployment
Able to understand and evaluate a product at a deep technical level
Able to personally test, troubleshoot, reproduce, and validate software—not simply rely on QA
Able to configure and manage Jira independently without relying on IT or other administrators
Strong product judgment and ability to prioritize features based on business and technical value
Proven ability to lead, organize, and develop software engineering teams
Excellent communication and execution skills in a distributed, international environment
Compensation
$60 - $100 per hour (commensurate with experience)
