What is an Engineering Manager?
At Workiva, the Engineering Manager role is a pivotal leadership position that bridges high-level technical strategy with hands-on team development. You are not just a people manager; you are a technical leader responsible for the health, delivery, and culture of a specific engineering squad. For the Admin Pillar specifically, this role is critical because your team builds the "front door" of the platform—owning the core identity, authentication, and authorization services that secure every user interaction.
This position carries significant weight because the systems your team builds—APIs, SDKs, and admin experiences—serve as the foundation for the entire Workiva ecosystem. You directly impact how internal teams build secure features and how external developers integrate with the platform. You will be expected to drive architectural decisions that ensure scalability and compliance while simultaneously fostering a culture of trust, accountability, and continuous improvement for your engineers.
