About You.com
You.com is the world's first open search engine platform that summarizes the web for users, with no ads, superior privacy choices, and personalization through preferred sources.
You.com is more than just a new search engine — it's a movement to make the internet a place of trust, facts, and kindness — our guiding principles that we're committing to from day one.
It's an audacious goal, but we're ambitious people. We're looking for a few more ambitious folks to join our team.
We’re not just wide-eyed dreamers – we’re pragmatic doers, too. Our founder and CEO, Richard Socher previously started an AI company called MetaMind. Salesforce acquired the company, and Richard became Chief Scientist, leading the company’s AI efforts. Prior to MetaMind, Richard received the best Ph.D. thesis award from Stanford for his groundbreaking work on deep learning. Bryan McCann, co-founder and CTO, is a scientist and philosopher who led natural language processing teams at Salesforce after completing his Master's in C.S. at Stanford. Our founding team members have built companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars and scaled software to serve millions of users. For fun, we run marathons, paramotor, write poetry, read Latin, hike, and camp in the middle of nowhere.

About the Job
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our frontend and mobile development teams. You will work directly with the CTO to translate ideas into the highest quality product possible as efficiently as possible. Frontend and Mobile engineering management involves directly interfacing with product and design teams to define what we are building, how we will build it, writing some of the code to build it, and pushing for ever-greater understanding of why we are building it. While this is a management role, it will require pairing with developers or diving into the codebase to debug and architect new features. The role also comes with the opportunity to build a world-class engineering team that can execute quickly, reliably, and provide the best possible user experience. You will naturally instill a focus on organizational and operational efficiency in your engineering team alongside a product-oriented engineering mindset that is obsessed with providing users the best.
We’re looking for someone who has many of the following traits and is excited to pick up the ones they don’t! #LI-REMOTE
