Engineering Manager (Expansion - Integrations)

Articulate is the leading SaaS provider of creator platforms for online workplace training, and they are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Integrations team. This role focuses on delivering reliable integrations that enhance automation and AI-driven experiences for users, while leading a team and collaborating across departments to establish a strategic integrations framework.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team focused on integrations and platform connectivity
• Define and evolve a scalable integration architecture that supports multiple types of workflows and external systems
• Build shared frameworks, APIs, and infrastructure that reduce the marginal cost of future integrations
• Partner across engineering teams to align on ownership boundaries, shared services, and platform standards
• Drive clarity in prioritization—partnering with product management to focus on the highest-impact integration opportunities rather than reacting to every request
• Ensure integrations are observable, reliable, secure, and resilient to external system failures
• Embed strong discovery and experimentation practices to validate integration opportunities before deep investment
• Develop engineers through direct coaching, clear expectations, and regular feedback

Requirements:

• Leadership & Operating Mindset
• Experience managing high-performing engineering teams
• Strong orientation toward outcomes over output—you care about impact, not activity
• A clear sense of ownership: you and your team solve problems end-to-end
• Ability to focus the team on the highest-leverage opportunities and say no when needed
• Comfort leading through rapid experimentation and iterative learning
• Track record of shipping small, frequent releases in production environments
• Encourages the use of modern tooling, including AI-assisted development, to improve engineering velocity and quality
• Technical Depth (Integrations & Platform Thinking)
• Strong experience with API design and external system integrations
• Deep understanding of authentication, authorization, and secure system-to-system communication
• Experience with event-driven systems, webhooks, data synchronization, and distributed reliability patterns
• Familiarity with the realities of third-party systems (rate limits, versioning, backward compatibility, partial failures)
• Experience building internal frameworks or platform capabilities that enable other teams
• Ability to guide architecture and system design without being the primary hands-on contributor
• Collaboration & Influence
• Proven ability to work across multiple engineering teams with different ownership domains
• Strong communication skills and comfort aligning stakeholders around trade-offs
• Experience navigating shared responsibility models and resolving cross-team ambiguity constructively
