San Francisco, United States Philo, Inc. Full time

Philo: TV on the Internet

At Philo, we’re a group of technology and product people who set out to build the future of television, marrying the best in modern technology with the most compelling medium ever invented — in short, we’re building the TV experience that we’ve always wanted for ourselves. In practice this means leveraging cloud delivery, modern tech stacks, machine learning, and hand-crafted native app experiences on all of our platforms.

Software Engineering Manager (Android, Apple)

The Android and Apple teams at Philo ship our native mobile applications and SO MUCH MORE. They are responsible for building our product experience on 6 different platforms from two codebases: Android Mobile, Android TV, Amazon Fire Tablets, Amazon FireTV, iOS and tvOS. We’re a small collaborative team building apps with high engagement and millions of installs, which collectively are responsible for a huge fraction of the billions of minutes watched on Philo each year.

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will lead the Apple and Android teams, focusing on people management, project delivery, and fostering the growth of your direct reports. While a deep technical background is valuable, this role emphasizes managerial responsibilities, team collaboration, and career development.

Responsibilities:

  • Provide strong people management for the Android and Apple engineering teams, including regular 1:1 meetings, career development guidance, and general check-ins to support individual growth and team morale.
  • Collaborate with technical engineering leads to gather feedback on project delivery, execution, and timelines to ensure efficient and on-time releases across platforms.
  • Work closely with engineering leads to gather insights on code quality and areas for improvement, supporting continuous improvements in reliability, performance, and user experience.
  • Drive the professional development of direct reports, helping them grow their technical and leadership skills, and offering guidance on career progression.
  • Support team members with feedback on their performance, offering coaching and mentorship tailored to each individual‘s goals.
  • Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with product, design, marketing, support, and data science teams to ensure smooth and coordinated feature delivery.
  • Monitor the health of the platform teams by managing workloads, identifying bottlenecks, and maintaining a strong, transparent communication flow.
  • Advocate for team needs, including addressing tech debt and making decisions about project prioritization and resource allocation in collaboration with technical leads.
  • Manage the hiring and growth of the team as needed, working with recruiting to identify and onboard top engineering talent.
  • Manage day-to-day partnership operations with Apple, Google and Amazon, ensuring that the app release process goes smoothly.

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of software development experience across mobile and TV platforms.
  • 3+ years of software engineering management experience, overseeing multi-platform teams.
  • Strong people management skills with experience providing coaching, performance feedback, and career development guidance to direct reports.
  • Solid understanding of native app development principles on Android and/or Apple, with experience as an individual contributor on an Android or Apple codebase.
  • Experience working closely with technical leads and engineering teams to drive project execution and maintain high code quality standards.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams and disciplines to achieve common goals.

Nice to have:

  • Experience in managing teams responsible for video streaming applications or high-engagement consumer apps.
  • Familiarity with cross-device interoperability and multi-modal user experiences.

Status: Full-time
Location: San Francisco, CA or remote within the U.S.
Compensation: Includes annual salary between $162K - $240K depending on experience and location, company stock options and health benefits.

We value a diverse and inclusive workplace and we welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, skills, and perspectives. Philo is an equal opportunity employer.
