Engineering Manager, Editor

Grammarly offers a remote– first hybrid working model . Team members can work primarily remotely. Teams will meet in person every quarter in one of Grammarly’s hubs, currently in San Francisco, Vancouver, New York, and Kyiv. To ensure that teams are able to overlap in their working hours and to meet face– to– face when needed, all team members need to live within three time zones of their direct team.

Please note our Kyiv hub is currently closed, but we hope the time comes soon when we can reunite with team members there. We continue to provide support to our Ukraine team members displaced within and outside of Ukraine.

The opportunity

Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect, whenever and wherever they communicate. Every day, 30 million people and 30,000 teams around the world use our AI– powered writing assistant. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values– driven and learning– oriented environment.

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Grammarly Editor Engineering team. The person in this role will lead a talented team of software engineers focused on developing Grammarly’s web and desktop– based editor application. Our text editor is the primary interface for users to put their ideas on the page and ensure they’re clear and engaging. The Grammarly Editor is a foundational part of Grammarly’s mission, and the team behind it is vital to helping our users communicate effectively wherever they write.

Grammarly’s engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. Read more about our stack or hear from our team on our technical blog .
