About the Position

The Engineering Manager we hire will help Public Policy Institute pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using Laravel sparingly and well. We're looking for 8+ years of React; in return you'll get $138,000 - $222,000, ownership, and a team worth joining.

Key Responsibilities

  • Question the trust-the-team Flexibility pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Own the hands-dirty .NET Core subsystem that the rest of Public Policy Institute quietly depends on
  • Build React dashboards so Public Policy Institute's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
  • Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
  • Translate a napkin idea from Public Policy Institute founders into a Laravel hands-on prototype

What You'll Bring

  • The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
  • Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support manager teammates
  • Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
  • Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship

The generously-mentoring people at Public Policy Institute have spent years proving that world-class Laravel can absolutely come out of West Covina. Trust is the default setting at Public Policy Institute; you have to actively spend it to lose it.

Lead with the number, $138,000 - $222,000, then add a growth track, a mentor, full benefits, and hours that bend toward your West Covina life.

We refreshed the dates so you know this freelance role is current.

Apply now to begin a rewarding career with our West Covina, CA team.
