Engineering Manager, UX Features in California at Quo

Small businesses represent 99.9% of all companies, yet they're still forced to choose between clunky, outdated enterprise phone systems or their personal phones. This multi-billion dollar market has been overlooked for decades, left to cobble together solutions that slow them down instead of helping them grow.
Quo is changing that. We bring calls, texts, and customer information together into one easy-to-use, AI-powered platform. We’re not just building a phone system. We’re setting a new standard for how businesses connect with their customers.
Driven by our values, we move fast, build with determination, and obsess over delivering value to the businesses that have been underserved for far too long.
Today, Quo is trusted by more than 90,000 companies and rated #1 in customer satisfaction on G2. We’re backed by Y Combinator, Tiger Global, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and other top-tier investors. It’s safe to say we’re onto something big.
About the role
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Quo's UX Features team — a group of frontend and mobile engineers building the most customer-facing surfaces across our product. This is a role for someone who is genuinely, deeply product-minded: you'll work across multiple product streams, partner with several PMs at once, and spend a meaningful part of your time navigating complex prioritisation trade-offs. Strong product sense isn't just a nice-to-have here — it's the core of what will make you exceptional in this role.
You'll be joining at an exciting moment. Our web engineers are delivering at a high level — including on Copilot and Search — while our mobile team is one of the most in-demand groups in the company, supporting every product pillar as Quo invests heavily in its native mobile experience for the first time. You'll bring structure and clarity to that demand, help build out mobile engineering practices, and lay the groundwork for dedicated web and mobile teams as we continue to scale. You'll also be a key contributor to Quo's AI initiative, shaping how AI-powered features come to life across both platforms.
Some of the things you'll do:

• Lead, develop, and grow a team of frontend and mobile engineers, setting a high bar for engineering quality, collaboration, and individual career development
• Partner closely with multiple product managers across several concurrent streams to drive prioritization, negotiate trade-offs, and keep the team focused on the highest-impact work
• Build the frameworks and heuristics your team needs to manage high demand — particularly on the mobile side, where every product pillar is competing for time and attention
• Collaborate with design, product, and engineering leadership to ship Quo's most visible customer-facing features, including AI-powered experiences
• Help define and mature Quo's mobile engineering practices as native mobile becomes a first-class surface for the first time
• Contribute to Quo's AI initiative, helping to integrate AI-powered features throughout the web and mobile product
• Lay the groundwork for a future evolution into dedicated web and mobile teams as the organisation scales

About you

• 3+ years of engineering management experience, with a demonstrated track record of delivering results in a fast-moving product environment
• Exceptional product sense — you think deeply about user experience, business outcomes, and customer impact, not just engineering execution. PMs and product leaders notice and value how you engage with the product
• Experience navigating complex, multi-stakeholder prioritization — you're comfortable in environments where competing demands are constant, and you know how to bring clarity and structure to that noise
• Strong technical background in software engineering; we're open to web, mobile, or backend-focused backgrounds — what matters most is your product judgment and people leadership
• Ready to operate with autonomy from day one — you don't need heavy coaching to ramp, and you bring your own energy and structure to the team
• Hungry and growth-oriented — you want a challenge, you move fast, and you're energised by an environment that rewards initiative
• Experience with or strong enthusiasm for AI technologies and their practical application in product development

Nice to have:

• A mobile engineering background (iOS or Android) — given where Quo is investing on the mobile side, this would let you hit the ground running, though it's not a requirement
