Grammarly, now part of Superhuman, is an AI productivity platform focused on unlocking the superhuman potential in everyone. They are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Assist & Chat teams, responsible for building and scaling a proactive AI assistant that assists users by understanding their context and delivering help automatically.
Responsibilities:
- Lead and grow a team of 8+ engineers, providing mentorship, career development, and fostering a high-performance engineering culture
- Own the technical direction for proactive agent surfacing — from understanding user context to matching them with the right agent at the right time
- Drive the development of models that interpret user activity across applications and match it with relevant agents from our growing ecosystem
- Build evaluation frameworks to measure model quality and user impact, iterating rapidly based on what works
- Ship compelling user-facing products across our Chrome extension, native desktop application, and integrations with Superhuman Mail and Coda Docs
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, ML research, and platform teams to deliver an end-to-end experience
- Move us from a world where users must come and ask for help to one where we proactively use our deep understanding of user activity to surface the agent that can help them most
- Balance technical ambition with pragmatic execution — shipping incremental value while building toward the proactive assistant vision
Requirements:
- Has 3+ years of engineering management experience leading teams of 5+ engineers, with a track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong talent
- Brings hands-on experience training, fine-tuning, and evaluating ML models, with a strong intuition for model quality and data-driven iteration
- Has shipped user-facing products at scale, with a deep appreciation for UX quality and a bias toward getting value in front of users quickly
- Demonstrates strong technical breadth across browser/extension development, ML/AI infrastructure, and full-stack product engineering
- Has experience building systems that operate across diverse surfaces (browser extensions, native apps, web applications) and understands the unique challenges of each
- Shows a track record of managing ambiguity — defining strategy, making tradeoffs, and shipping in fast-moving, early-stage product areas
- Communicates clearly and influences effectively across engineering, product, design, and leadership
- Is energized by the challenge of building proactive AI experiences that anticipate user needs rather than waiting for explicit requests
