Engineering Manager, Editor

About the role

You'll lead the team responsible for Gamma's visual editor and all creative outputs, owning how millions of users create, edit, and share presentations, documents, and websites. This means shipping the editor experience (blocks, text editing, images, layouts, diagrams), polished outputs (present mode, document view, mobile responsiveness, PDF/PPT export), and AI interactions that make changing layouts, tweaking design, and generating content feel effortless.

You'll build and mentor a high‑performing engineering team, partner closely with PM, design, and AI on technical feasibility and architecture decisions, and contribute to broader Engineering, Product, and Design leadership by proactively identifying opportunities and misalignment. You'll inspire and hold others to a high bar for craft while balancing polish with delivery velocity.

Life at Gamma

You get energy from small teams doing big things.

You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.

You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.

You value details, but know when to ship and move on.

You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.

You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.

You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.

You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.

Who we are

Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.

We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.

Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside

“quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way”

“You can have an idea and just run with it.”

“Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp.”

“We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it.”

Meet the team

We're a team of dreamers and doers building in beautiful San Francisco

We're kabbadi enthusiasts, pickleballers, dog herders, woodworkers, keyboard nerds, potters, and more — and we can't wait to meet you!
