Job description

About the company
Kodex revolutionizes how organizations handle sensitive subpoenas and data requests from law enforcement and government agencies. Founded by a former FBI agent and backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, Peak XV and Thiel Capital, Kodex has become the industry standard for secure data exchange. Our platform supports over 15,000 government agencies in 190 countries and is trusted by industry leaders like Coinbase, Stripe, and AT&T.
By transforming a traditionally complex and manual process into a streamlined digital workflow, Kodex helps organizations strengthen compliance, enhance security, and reduce operational costs by millions each year. We bridge the gap between companies and authorized requestors, ensuring that sensitive data is handled with uncompromising security, transparency, and efficiency.
About the Role
We are hiring Engineering Manager to lead our Core Portal team, the central surface through which customers interact with Kodex. This work sits at the heart of our product: everything our customers do flows through the Core Portal.
You will manage and a 4 person team of experienced engineers, partner closely with Product, and help define what the EM role looks like as Kodex scales. You will be highly technical, but your primary mission is people: ensuring that the engineers on your team are happy, growing, and working on the highest impact problems. We expect the Core Portal team to continue growing over the next year.
You will also help drive AI proficiency across the team. We want our engineers to treat AI tools as real partners in how we design and build software. Experience with tools like Claude Code is a huge plus, and developing strong AI fluency in this role will be expected.
This is an ideal role for a deeply technical, people-first leader who enjoys building structure in a startup environment, cares about career development, and wants to help shape how Kodex engineering operates.
What You'll Do
  • Manage, mentor, and coach engineers, building a healthy, inclusive team where people enjoy the work and feel they're growing.
  • Consolidate inputs from engineers, PMs, and leadership into a single, prioritized backlog for the team.
  • Run simple, effective planning and prioritization so everyone understands what we're doing and why.
  • Improve remote communication habits so people ask questions, share context, and avoid working in isolation.
  • Partner closely with PMs to define roadmaps, shape requirements, and balance product priorities with technical debt and reliability.
  • Engage in deep technical discussions with senior engineers on architecture, tradeoffs, and systems design.
  • Encourage and model effective use of AI tools in day-to-day engineering work, helping the team adopt and continually improve how they use tools like Claude Code.
  • Ensure the team's systems are reliable, maintainable, and aligned with our long-term technical direction.
  • Define and track team goals, communicate progress and risks to leadership, and make a model team within engineering.

You Might Be a Fit If You...
  • Have ~3-7+ years as an Engineering Manager or equivalent people leader, and previously worked as a hands-on engineer.
  • Have enough technical depth to engage confidently with senior engineers on architecture and complex systems.
  • Lead with empathy, care about people's careers, and are comfortable being human and honest with your team.
  • Have run performance reviews, navigated hard feedback, and coached engineers through real growth.
  • Are used to partnering with PMs from idea → requirements → shipped work, and bring user and business context into technical decisions.
  • Have taken a team from conflicting inputs and ad-hoc work to a clear backlog and simple, effective rituals.
  • Enjoy improving process just enough to help people move faster, not to add bureaucracy.
  • Are excited about leveraging AI in engineering workflows, and either have experience with tools like Claude Code or are eager to become highly proficient with them.
  • Prefer rolling up your sleeves and fixing problems directly rather than waiting for someone else to own them.
  • Thrive in remote, startup environments.
  • Bonus: have experience in security, encryption, or data-protection-heavy systems.

Engineering at Kodex
We care deeply about the software we build - because our work protects real people. Kodex plays a critical role in helping major companies respond securely and transparently to sensitive data requests from law enforcement, enabling both privacy protection and public safety.
Our engineering culture is built on trust, autonomy, and technical rigor. Our engineers and managers:
  • Own projects end to end
  • Collaborate without ego
  • Invest in quality and velocity
  • Act as force-multipliers for one another

This is a place where the best idea wins, and your leadership has real impact, every day.
Our Stack
  • Frontend: TypeScript, React, GraphQL, Material UI
  • Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL on AWS
  • We're also working on cutting-edge projects using Go and AWS Nitro Enclaves to advance data security.

Equal Employment Opportunities at the Company
Kodex is committed to hiring talented and qualified individuals with diverse backgrounds for all of its tech, non-tech, and leadership roles. Kodex believes that the gathering and celebration of unique backgrounds, qualities, and cultures enriches the workplace.
