What do Engineering managers in New York work on?

The sample titles span domains as varied as payments, mobile apps, identity and access management, AI platform infrastructure, and games โ€” so the unifying thread is people and team leadership rather than a single technology area. In practice, most postings ask managers to own engineering roadmaps, guide architectural decisions, and coach individual engineers, while also contributing code on high-impact problems.

Anthropic's inference infrastructure role is squarely in distributed systems โ€” scheduling, load-balancing, and cluster orchestration at production scale. Duolingo's AI platform position centres on dataset management, model evaluation workflows, and combining human feedback with LLM outputs. Gusto's payments role requires deep familiarity with ACH, real-time rails, and tier-one production systems. Braze's IAM posting blends product strategy with hands-on coding across APIs and web tooling. Formation Bio's infrastructure role focuses on reliability, security, and SRE practices. Experience requirements across the sample range from roughly two to eight or more years of prior engineering management.

Skills and experience employers ask for

The skills table reflects mentions in posting descriptions across the full set of listings on this page, not a list of universal requirements. AI-related terms โ€” agents and LLMs โ€” appear in the largest share of postings, suggesting strong demand for that background in this particular snapshot. Cloud platforms, container orchestration tools, and CI/CD practices each appear in a meaningful minority of postings. Python and TypeScript appear at similar frequencies, pointing to a mixed-stack environment rather than a single dominant language.

Engineering Manager roles that state a salary

The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels โ€” not an average and not a market rate.

New York office, hybrid or remote?

The clear majority of postings on this page require fully on-site attendance in New York. A smaller portion state hybrid arrangements; The New York Times Games role, for example, specifies two to three days per week in office. Only one posting in this set is listed as fully remote. No postings have an unknown work mode, so candidates can treat the stated arrangement as reliable for filtering purposes. Where a posting does not specify exact in-office days, candidates should confirm the expected schedule directly with the employer.

Make your application specific to the work

  1. Check the work mode first Most roles require regular on-site presence in New York, so confirm the arrangement suits you before preparing an application; hybrid day counts and remote eligibility vary by posting.
  2. Read the technical scope carefully Roles span infrastructure, mobile, AI platform, payments, and product engineering โ€” reviewing the specific domain in each posting will help you judge whether your hands-on background matches what the team works on.
  3. Prepare your management evidence Postings consistently ask for demonstrated experience leading engineering teams, so be ready to speak to team size, how you handled technical direction, and how you coached or levelled up individual engineers.
  4. Note pay transparency where absent Only a small number of postings on this page advertise a salary range; for those that do not, compensation details are best requested during the early stages of the process rather than assumed from the ranges shown here.

Questions about Engineering Manager jobs in New York

Several sample summaries explicitly ask managers to contribute code on high-impact problems alongside their people responsibilities. The balance varies by role โ€” the Braze and Gusto postings both mention hands-on coding, while infrastructure-focused roles emphasise technical direction and operational judgment. Check the individual posting for the expected split.

Only a handful of postings on this page advertise a range. Those that do span from around $216,000 at the lower end up to $430,000 at the top of the highest-stated range. These are advertised figures from specific employers and cannot be treated as representative of all roles here; most postings do not state pay at all.

The fact pack does not include sponsorship information for any of the postings, so this cannot be determined from what is shown on this page. You would need to ask each employer directly.

A meaningful share of postings on this page mention agents, LLMs, or AI evaluation, and some roles โ€” such as Duolingo's AI platform and Anthropic's inference infrastructure positions โ€” centre on AI tooling. However, a number of other roles focus on payments, mobile, identity, or general infrastructure where AI experience is not the stated emphasis, so background requirements vary significantly.

The sample summaries show a range: Braze asks for at least two years of engineering leadership, The New York Times asks for three or more years managing native mobile teams, and Gusto asks for three or more years managing a payments platform specifically. Formation Bio asks for three or more years managing engineers within an infrastructure context. Requirements differ by role, so the individual posting is the only reliable source.
