Job Description

About Lazer

Lazer is a world-class digital product studio of 80+ senior engineers and designers with backgrounds from Apple, Google, Coinbase, and more. We’ve built and scaled products from $0 to $200M+ in revenue for startups, venture studios, and enterprise brands including Shopify, Google, Coinbase, Alchemy, Hinge, OVO, and DIMO.


We’re a remote-first company headquartered in Toronto with global reach, committed to a strong engineering culture rooted in autonomy, excellence, and community. We host regular team retreats, invest in continuous learning, and are scaling rapidly.


The Role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our commerce-focused engineering organization. While Shopify experience is a plus, your core responsibility will be to scale, support, and structure our large, distributed engineering team. You’ll directly manage 50+ engineers and designers across North America and LATAM, and play a critical role in helping us grow to 100+ team members in the coming year.


This role is not client-facing or delivery-focused. It’s a people-first leadership position that sits at the intersection of engineering operations, recruiting, and organizational scaling. You’ll work closely with our recruiting team to help align hiring with upcoming demand, bridging sales projections with resourcing strategy to support business growth.


What You’ll Do

  • Manage & Mentor: Lead and support a high-performing team of 50+ engineers and designers, ensuring team health, engagement, and growth
  • Upskill Talent: Oversee internal “bench” projects to help engineers deepen Shopify and full-stack skills between client work
  • Scale the Org: Help grow the engineering team to 100+ by building scalable systems, structure, and culture
  • Bridge Sales & Hiring: Work closely with the recruiting team to align incoming sales pipeline with hiring velocity and role requirements
  • Resource Allocation: Strategically assign engineers to projects based on skillsets, availability, and development goals
  • Hiring & Onboarding: Lead interviewing, hiring, and onboarding to ensure high-quality, fast-growing team additions
  • Performance & Compensation: Run regular performance reviews, compensation adjustments, and individual development plans
  • Cross-regional Team Management: Oversee both North American and nearshore (LATAM) pods to maintain a unified culture and delivery readiness


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience managing large engineering/design teams (30+ people; ideally 50–100)
  • Strong background working with enterprise-level clients or projects
  • Ability to create scalable systems for growth, performance, and engagement
  • Experience partnering with recruiting or sales teams to support business growth and hiring alignment
  • Familiarity with distributed and multicultural team dynamics
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills, with a high degree of autonomy


Nice to Have

  • Experience in the Shopify ecosystem or modern e-commerce platforms
  • Background in a consulting agency, product studio, or digital services company
  • Experience managing both engineers and designers
  • Familiarity with nearshore markets (e.g., LATAM talent pipelines)
