Job description

About Proof

Proof is a high-growth company transforming how law firms operate—bringing automation, transparency, and performance to an industry long overdue for change. Our platform powers thousands of firms with complex workflows, distributed systems, and real-time infrastructure. We move fast, solve hard problems, and value engineers who take pride in doing things right.

We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager with full-stack depth to lead a sharp, mission-driven team. You’ll build, mentor, and ship—bringing both deep technical judgment and get-it-done energy.

What You’ll Do

You’ll operate as a player-coach: leading a team of strong engineers, while contributing technically across system architecture, cross-functional collaboration, and product-critical features.

Lead a team of backend, frontend, and full-stack engineers
Write and review high-quality code—primarily in Go, React and TypeScript
Own system design and technical decisions that scale across products and teams
Drive engineering excellence: strong testing, clean abstractions, fast iteration, tight observability
Collaborate with Product, Design, and cross-functional leads to scope and ship well-architected solutions
Help scale our engineering organization: hiring, coaching, leveling, and inspiring
Navigate ambiguity with clarity, and bring momentum to complex or high-stakes initiatives
Raise the bar—not just for your team, but for Proof as a whole

What You Bring

5+ years of professional software experience, including 2+ years leading engineers
Strong backend experience (Go preferred, but not required) and comfort working full-stack
Proven record of delivering complex systems end-to-end
Experience scaling web applications, optimizing performance, and managing technical debt
High standards for code quality, testing, and developer experience
You care about product outcomes, not just shipping features
You lead with context, clarity, and conviction—and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves
