By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day.

Smartsheet is a tech company with a human story to tell. We're here to empower teams to manage projects, automate workflows, and rapidly build new secure solutions, using simple no-code tools. We're revolutionaries – so for us changing the way the world works is all in a day's work.

The Dashboards team builds the data visualization experiences that help Smartsheet customers turn raw information into clear, executive-ready insight. We're a vibrant team with engineers at every level — from early-career to senior — and we're responsible for the beautiful data visualizations that help our customers make confident, timely executive decisions. We're growing our investment in AI-powered features and modern data infrastructure, and we're looking for an Engineering Manager to help lead the team through this next chapter.

You will lead and grow a team of engineers spanning all experience levels, coaching them to deliver high-quality, beautiful data visualization features on time and with lasting technical health.

  • Build and evolve team structure, process, and ways of working (e.g., planning cadence, on-call, sprint/Scrumban process) to match team growth and delivery needs
  • Partner with engineering and product leadership to define and execute strategy for AI-powered dashboard and analytics features, including work built on Databricks and modern data infrastructure
  • Interview, hire, and onboard engineers to build a high-performing, diverse team
  • Coach, mentor, and develop direct reports, providing career growth planning, regular feedback, and performance management
  • Create an inclusive team culture that recognizes individual strengths and supports engagement and development for engineers at every level
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Design, and other engineering teams to ensure Dashboards work is well-integrated with the broader platform
