We intentionally strive to build diverse teams that feel inclusive for all. Our motto is "All Stripes Welcome," and we put that into practice by valuing both traditional and non-conventional backgrounds and perspectives. Our Zeebs are passionate about learning, growing, & working together to tackle exciting problems.

The Zebra is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our growing Integrations team! This person will own the execution and process for their team, ensuring expectations are set and accounted for. They will cultivate the technical and career growth of individual engineers, facilitating each to reach their own goals.

Our Integrations team is responsible for onboarding new insurance partners to our site. The team supports integration work for both Auto and Home insurance lines, requiring efficient delivery of direct integrations each month aligned with business priorities and timelines. This team is made up of primarily Backend Engineers working in Python. Ideally, this manager has experience working with API integrations.

Location: 

While we are open to remote work across the contingent US, we are still in the process of establishing our company to support work in all states! We’ve recently made the shift from an in-office organization to a hybrid model and love the flexibility it allows our employees. We are set up to support employees who want to be fully remote, in-office only, and a mix of the two. Please note - we will not be supporting work based out of the following states: CA, MA, NY, NJ.

• Assist in recruiting and hiring processes
• Set and supervise performance goals for teams and individuals, providing feedback through reviews, one-on-one’s, and in day-to-day discussions to lead to results driven contributors
• Ensure engineering is always adding business value; clearly communicating business goals to engineering teams, as well as technical solutions to stakeholders

What We're Looking For:
